How to connect your Instagram account

STEP 1: INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT CENTER

Connect your Facebook account to your Instagram Business Account Center. Go to your Instagram Settings.

  • Go to Account Center

  • Choose a Facebook Page from your Pages that you’d like to connect to.

  • You can also do this from the Meta account center – https://business.facebook.com


STEP 2: LINK INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT TO FACEBOOK PAGE

Link your Instagram account to a Facebook page.


Make sure your Instagram Business account is linked to a Facebook Page. This is most important as Instagram will never display if this is not done.

STEP 3: CONNECT MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS


Connecting Multiple Accounts

Instagram connects via Facebook only.

You would have to follow the same steps you did for connecting the first one.

  • The Instagram account is not connected directly from the Instagram connection window of the Platform page on the Postly dashboard.

  • You can connect all your Instagram accounts to the same Facebook account. You would need to link each Instagram account to a Facebook page though. If you do this then, once you connect the Facebook account on Postly, all your Instagram pages would show up.

  • Or you connect them to different Facebook accounts. If you do this then you would need to sign in to the Facebook accounts and switch on the browser to be able to connect the Instagram accounts on Postly.
