I don’t have a Facebook Page, only an Instagram account. What should I do?

Step 1: Create or Verify Your Facebook Business Page

To get started, you'll need a Facebook Business Page, as this is required to connect to the Meta API and schedule your posts. 

First, let's verify if you already have one:

  • Log into your personal Facebook on a computer.
  • In the left-hand navigation, find Pages. If your business page is listed there, you're all set!
  • If you don’t have a business page, follow these steps to create one: Create a Facebook Business Page

Step 2: Connect Your Instagram Account to Your Facebook Page

Once your Facebook business page is set up or verified, the next step is to link your Instagram account to it. Here's how:

  • Log into your business Instagram on a computer and please make sure you’re set to a professional (business) account. If you have a personal account, you’ll be prompted to switch to a professional account during this process.
  • Log into Facebook on a computer.
  • In the top right of Facebook, click your profile photo, then click See all profiles and select the Facebook Page you want to link to Instagram.
  • From the top right of your Facebook Page, click Settings & Privacy > Settings.
  • Under Permissions, click Linked Accounts.
  • Next to Instagram, click View.
  • Click Connect Account and follow the prompts to link your Instagram account to your Facebook Page.
