πŸ”Œ Connect Instagram

To avoid a failed connection or error when integrating Instagram to a Client, the Instagram account must have the following:

  • The Instagram account is a professional account

  • The Instagram account is connected to a Facebook page (for direct access to the page).

  • Ensure Admin-level permissions are granted for both the Instagram account and the associated Facebook Page

To avoid connection conflicts, we recommend logging out of all other Instagram accounts in your browser.

If the above requirements are met, follow these steps to connect:

  1. Open the Client where you'd like to connect Instagram, then click the Data Sources tab at the top.

  2. Click the Connect Data Source button in the upper right corner of the page.

  3. Search for Instagram in the search bar at the top, then click the Instagram card.

  4. Click Connect New Account, or if you've previously connected to Instagram, click the Connect New Account button below the connections list.

  5. In the pop-up, sign into the associated Facebook account and accept any authorization or permissions prompts to connect.

  6. After signing in, click Edit Settings in the Facebook popup to select all relevant Pages and enable permissions.

  7. Click Done, then OK to finalize the Facebook authorization.

Next, select the account you want to connect with this client and click Connect on the lower left.

The integration will then be complete, and your client's Instagram metrics will be pulled in, allowing you to start building custom reports or dashboards!

Troubleshooting Common Issues

  • Log out of other Facebook accounts or use an incognito window

Steps to connect Instagram to a Facebook page

To connect your Instagram account to a Facebook Page, ensure the Instagram account is linked in Facebook Business Manager. If issues persist, reauthorize permissions in the Facebook popup and select all relevant Pages.
