How to Invite People to Follow Your Instagram Account by Email

Email can be a useful way to let existing customers, subscribers, or contacts know about an Instagram account they may want to follow. Keep it relevant and permission-based.

Updated August 2026: older in-app contact-invitation screens may not be available. The reliable approach is to share your public profile through an email list you already manage with permission.

Prepare the profile

Use a clear bio, recognisable image, and recent posts that explain what people will get by following.

Write a simple invitation

Keep the email short, state what you share on Instagram, and include one clear profile link. Feature one useful post or update as a reason to visit.

Respect consent and privacy

Only email people who agreed to hear from you and include the normal unsubscribe option. Do not use personal contacts without permission.
