Connect via Facebook
Step-by-step: connecting a Facebook Page and its linked Instagram account
This connects a Facebook Page together with the Instagram account linked to it, Meta always issues them as a pair for this flow. Use it if you want to automate a Facebook Page's comments or Messenger DMs, or schedule posts to Facebook, alongside Instagram.
Meta describes this flow as: "Instagram professional must connect their Instagram account to a Facebook page, and then authorize the 3rd party application through the Facebook login for business."
Requirements
- A Facebook Page you manage.
- That Page has your Instagram professional account linked to it (in the Page's own settings: Linked Accounts → Instagram).
Steps
- Go to Accounts and click "Connect via Facebook."
- Log in with the Facebook account that manages your Page.
- Choose the Facebook Page linked to your Instagram account, and approve the requested permissions.
- You're done, both the Facebook Page and its linked Instagram account appear in your Accounts list.
If your Instagram account doesn't show up after connecting: it likely isn't linked to the Page yet. Link it from Instagram's own app, Settings → Account type and tools → Switch to professional account, then reconnect here.
What you get
- Instagram comment replies and DMs.
- Facebook Page comment replies and Messenger DMs.
- Scheduled posting to both platforms from one connection.
