Connect Instagram
Link your Instagram account once, then write and schedule posts straight from Sosyabot.
Before you start
- You need an Instagram Business or Creator account (not a personal one).
- That account must be linked to a Facebook Page. Instagram connects through Facebook, so this link is required.
Step by step
Open Channels
Go to Channels in Sosyabot and click Add channel.
Pick Instagram
Choose Instagram from the list, then click Connect.
Sign in to Facebook
A pop-up opens. Sign in to Facebook (the account that manages your Instagram) and click to approve.
Choose your account
If you have more than one, pick the Facebook Page and the Instagram account you want, then confirm.
Done
Your Instagram account now shows up in Channels and is ready to post to.
Good to know
- Personal Instagram accounts can't be used. The account has to be Business or Creator and linked to a Facebook Page.
- If you manage several Pages, Sosyabot adds one channel for each linked Instagram account it finds.
- A connection can stop working over time. If that happens, just connect again.
If it doesn't connect
- Make sure your Instagram is a Business or Creator account, and that it is linked to a Facebook Page.
- Sign in with the Facebook account that actually manages that Instagram.
- If the channel later asks you to reconnect, open it and run the connect steps again.
