1. Confirm that you have an Instagram Business Account

You must connect a Business account through a Facebook page at this time. Please note that direct publishing is only available for Instagram Business accounts at this time.

To check if you have an Instagram Business, please go to the Instagram mobile app:

• Go to your Profile, then click on the three horizontal lines in the upper right-hand corner
• Go to Settings > Account > Switch Account Type
• If you have a Business account, you will see at the bottom the options to Switch to Personal Account and Switch to Creator Account.

Note:

If you see the option to Switch to Business Account, it means your Instagram account is not a Business account.

2. Confirm that you have Admin access to the Facebook Page

• Go to the Facebook Page > Settings > Page Roles
• Your personal profile should be listed in the Admin section. Otherwise, please request an Admin to update your role to the Admin role.

3. Confirm that your Facebook Page is connected to the Instagram Business account

• Go to the Facebook Page > Settings > Instagram
• You should see the Instagram Business account handle listed in the Username field

Note:

4. Confirm that your Facebook Page is listed on your Instagram Business account

• Go to the Profile> Edit Profile > confirm the Facebook page listed in the Public Business Information section.
• If the correct page is not connected, select the correct page and press Done. If the Facebook page is missing as an option, log in to the Facebook personal profile listed as an Admin from the Facebook mobile app on your device.

Note:

5. Confirm that you are a Business Admin if the Facebook Page is in Meta Business Manager

• 1. Go to Facebook Page > Settings > Page Roles. Business Admins will be listed under the Admin section, but they will also show a briefcase icon instead of the profile picture or generic no profile picture.
• 2. Go to Business Manager Settings > People. If you are a Business Admin, you’ll be able to see your name listed with the Business Admin icon and the Manage Page section turned on. If you are not a Business Admin for the page, you can always request this status from a Business Admin or the Page Owner by sending them a link to this article or by requesting the Page Owner or an existing Business Admin to confirm the connection between Instagram and Facebook.
• Here are the steps they will need to take to make you a Business Admin:
  • If they are the Page Owner or a Business Admin, go to Business Settings of the page
  • Under Users, click on People, then click on the Add button
  • They will need to enter your email address or the email address of the person who is trying to connect to Instagram. Turn on the toggle next to Admin access.
  Please note that the email address should be the same as the email address for your personal profile
