Connecting your Instagram account to Polipics
1. What you need before starting
•Instagram Business or Creator account (not Personal — Meta discontinued third-party publishing for Instagram Personal profiles).
•That Instagram account linked to a Facebook Page.
•Full Control (Manage Page) or Admin access to that Facebook Page (or connect directly from the Page Admin Facebook account).
2. If your Instagram account is still Personal
•Open Instagram app → Menu (☰) → Settings and privacy → Account type and tools → Switch to professional account → Choose Business or Creator.
•Link it to a Facebook Page: in Instagram, go to Edit profile → Page, and connect or create a Facebook Page.
3. How to connect in Polipics
•Click Connect next to Instagram in Polipics.
•Log in via Facebook (this is expected — Instagram business connections route through Meta Facebook Login for Business).
•Select the Facebook Page linked to your Instagram account when prompted and approve all permissions.
Common Issues & Solutions
❓ "Error: "The following business assets were not granted the requested permissions""
Ensure you have Full Control on the linked Facebook Page in Meta Business Suite, or log in with the Page Admin account when authorizing.
❓ "My Instagram is not showing up"
It is not yet linked to a Facebook Page, or it is still a Personal account. Fix both from the Instagram app first, then reconnect.
❓ "Connected, but publishing fails on some post types"
Certain content types require the account to be in good standing and fully verified as Business/Creator in Instagram app status.
❓ "Someone else logs into this Instagram account too"
Meta flags accounts accessed from many devices/IPs. Recommend using one dedicated login for authorizing third-party apps.
