Connecting Instagram

Instagram only allows scheduling for business accounts (or creator accounts) that are linked to a Facebook Page. That's why connecting goes through Facebook.

What do you need?

1. A business Instagram account. In the Instagram app: Settings → Account type and tools → Switch to professional account.
2. A Facebook Page your Instagram is linked to. In the Instagram app: Edit profile → Page → Connect a Facebook Page.

Connecting

1. Go to Channels and under Add channel click Instagram.
2. Log in to Facebook (yes, Facebook) and choose the Page that belongs to your Instagram.
3. Tick your Instagram account and click Connect.

On Instagram every post needs at least one photo or video. Socialschedulr warns you if it's missing.

Then your Instagram isn't a business account yet, or isn't linked to a Facebook Page. Go through the two steps above and connect again.
