How to connect your Instagram business account with your Facebook account?
Modified on: Thu, 14 Apr, 2022 at 3:15 PM
To successfully post to the Instagram Business Profile, including direct publishing, it is necessary that your Instagram Business profile is connected to a Facebook Page. You don't need to publish to the Page when you use Instagram, but the permissions to manage your Instagram profile are granted to LeadConnector through Facebook. This is a requirement from Facebook (which possesses Instagram).
Before You Begin
1) Confirm that your Instagram profile is a Business profile.
