FAQ

Why is my personal account used to connect with Sintra?

Sintra integrates with your Facebook and Instagram pages through Meta's official API. Since Facebook pages must be linked to a personal Facebook account, your personal profile serves as the secure access point for connecting these platforms to Sintra.

Why is there no separate Instagram integration?

The Facebook + Instagram integration handles your Instagram requests through one unified system. This integration allows you to manage multiple Instagram business accounts, as long as they're linked to your Facebook pages. Each Facebook page can have its own connected Instagram account, giving you the flexibility to manage several business profiles through a single Sintra connection.

Can this integration manage my direct messages?

Currently, direct messages (DMs) on Facebook and Instagram are not supported through Sintra's Facebook + Instagram integration. The integration is primarily used to help you manage your social media content and posts effectively.
