1. Introduction.
Cool Tabs allows you to create sweepstakes in photos or videos of different Instagram profiles with our Instagram Sweepstakes app.
This application is available with any of our plans.
There are two options to create an Instagram Sweepstakes:
- Multi-profile Sweepstakes: if the Instagram accounts are associated with your Facebook, they will appear in the profile list when you create your sweepstakes on your Cool Tabs account. You will only have to create the raffle and add the publications in the campaign edition, as we indicated you below.
- Multi-account Sweepstakes: If the Instagram accounts are not associated with your Facebook, you will have to use our collaborator system. This way, you can invite the user/s to the draw on Cool Tabs, and then add their publication. Below we explain to you how to do it.
2. Step by step.
2.1. Multi-profile Sweepstake.
2.1.1. Create the sweepstake.


- Select whether the raffle takes place on an organic or sponsored post. The sponsored draw option is only valid for publications whose ad has been done directly from the Facebook Business Manager. If it is a sponsored draw, check this tutorial in which we explain to you how to do it step by step. If you have created an organic publication and then sponsored it, you must select the organic draw option.
- You must associate a Facebook account since access to the data of an Instagram account is done through Facebook. You must accept the permits so that we can collect the shares of your publication.
- Choose the Instagram user you want to run the contest with. If the profile which you want to make the draw does not appear, follow the steps in this tutorial to add it.
We explain to you in the following tutorial: How to Create a Direct Sweepstake on Instagram and Choose Winners >>
2.1.2. Add more publications.
Have you published more posts about your sweepstake? Go to the campaign's editable (pencil icon) and add the new publication from which you want to collect participations.
To start the winner's selection, click on the 'Winners' section.

2.2. Multi-account Sweepstakes.
If you are not the administrator of all the profiles participating in the sweepstake, you will have to use our collaborator system. In this way, the administrator of the draw will be able to invite the rest of the accounts, as collaborators, to register in Cool Tabs so that each one can add their publications.
You must follow the same steps as explained previously.
2.2.1. Create the sweepstake.
- Access Cool Tabs, create a new campaign and choose the Instagram Sweepstakes app.
- Select whether the raffle takes place on an organic or sponsored post. The sponsored draw option is only valid for publications whose ad has been done directly from the Facebook Business Manager. If it is a sponsored draw, check this tutorial in which we explain to you how to do it step by step. If you have created an organic publication and then sponsored it, you must select the organic draw option.
- You must associate a Facebook account since access to the data of an Instagram account is done through Facebook. You must accept the permits so that we can collect the shares of your publication.
- Choose the Instagram user you want to run the contest with. If the profile which you want to make the draw does not appear, follow the steps in this tutorial to add it.
2.2.2. How to invite a collaborator.
To invite a collaborator, go to the campaign's main page and click on 'Contributors'.
Fill in the fields that appear in the 'User management'. Enter the name of your collaborator(s) and the permissions you want to assign to them (read, moderate and write). You will then be able to edit the campaign to add the publication.
Then you can send each contributor the link that has been generated so that they can add their publication. Copy the link and send the invitation.
The collaborators have to click on the link and can accept the invitation to the sweepstakes that you have created in your Cool Tabs account. They will have to sign in Cool Tabs in order to add their publication.
The collaborator does not have to sign up for any Cool Tabs plan. It is only necessary that he or she accepts the required permissions so that our tool access his or her publication and collect the participants in it.
Once the contributors complete the registration, by accessing their Cool Tabs account, they will have access to the sweepstake you have created on Cool Tabs and will be able to add their publication. In addition to seeing the publications in their profile, they will see the publications that have been selected from other accounts (both yours, as "owner" of the draw, and those of other collaborators). You, as the "owner" of the draw, will see the posts from the collaborator's account and you will also have the option of adding their publication to the draw.
