In order to utilize all the Instagram features available in GetGenius, it is necessary to connect your Business profile to a Facebook Page. Even though you won’t need to post on your Facebook Page when using Instagram, Facebook provides the necessary permissions to manage your Instagram profile.
Integrating an Instagram Account with your Facebook Page #
Note: Remember that only one Instagram profile can be linked to a Facebook Page and vice versa. If you need to create a new one, refer to Facebook’s help article Create a Facebook Page.
Ensure that your Instagram profile is a Business profile (refer to Overview of Instagram profiles for guidance).
Verify that you have the appropriate permissions (refer to the Facebook help article See your Facebook Page role or access):
- Facebook Page classic – Admin or Editor Page role.
- New Facebook Pages experience – Full or partial control.
- Asset in Facebook Business Manager – Management access to the Page in your Business Manager account. See the Facebook help article Add People to Your Business Manager.
- Follow Instagram’s instructions to Add an Instagram account from your Facebook Page.
Subsequent Steps #
Once these steps are completed, you are prepared to add your Instagram Business profile to GetGenius. If your Instagram profile is already connected to GetGenius, add it again and GetGenius will automatically update it for you when you complete the process.
