Connect Instagram

Only Instagram Business accounts can be connected. Before you begin, make sure your account meets both requirements:

  • Convert to a Business account: Personal Instagram accounts are not supported. See Instagram's guide to switching account types.

  • Link to a Facebook Business Page: Your Instagram account must be connected to your Facebook Business Page before proceeding.

  1. Go to Settings → UGC → Your Meta Account → Instagram.

  2. Click Connect Accounts. This opens the classic settings in a new tab.

  3. Click Connect Business Account.

  4. Sign in to your Meta account.

  5. Select the Instagram Business account(s) you want to connect.

  6. Click Connect Account to confirm.

Once connected, your Instagram Business account will appear under your Meta Account settings and begin syncing content.

💡 Pro tip

Connect Facebook

  1. Go to Settings → UGC → Your Meta Account → Facebook.

  2. Click Connect Accounts. This opens the classic settings in a new tab.

  3. Select the Facebook tab, then click Connect Business Account.

  4. Sign in to your Meta account.

  5. Select the Facebook account(s) you want to connect.

  6. When prompted, click Choose what you allow.

  7. Toggle Manage your business to ON, then click Continue.

Why is the Manage your business permission required?

This permission is necessary to support the new Facebook Page experience. Without it, the integration will not function correctly.

It's important to note that enabling this permission does not grant posting access or direct account control. CrowdRiff will not post on your behalf or access your account directly, it is required only to ensure the connection works as intended.

  4. Click Reconnect.

  5. Follow the prompts to reconnect.
