If you want to take advantage of direct publishing and effectively post to your Instagram Business Profile, connecting it to a Facebook Page is a necessary step. This allows LeadConnector to manage your Instagram profile with the required permissions granted through Facebook.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of connecting your Instagram Business account to your Facebook Page, enabling seamless direct publishing and post-management.
Before diving into the steps, ensure you meet the following prerequisites:
- Verify that your Instagram profile is set up as a Business profile. If not, learn “how to convert a personal profile to a Business profile.”
- Make sure you have an Admin or Editor role for the Facebook Page (if it’s a Classic Page type) or appropriate access with full or partial control (for a New Page type). You can check your role on the Facebook Page by referring to the Facebook help article: “How do I see what my role is on a Facebook Page?“
If the Page is part of your Facebook Business Manager, ensure you have management access to the Page in your Business Manager account. For guidance on adding people to your Business Manager, consult the Facebook help article: “Add People to Your Business Manager.”
