To connect to your Instagram there are a few external steps that must take place before starting the connection process on the Picky Creators platform:
-
Make sure your Instagram account is a Creator/Business account. (Learn how to change your account into a Professional account: Set Instagram Business Account)
-
You must connect the Instagram Business account to a Facebook Page (Please see details on how to link a Facebook page here: How to link a Facebook page to your Instagram Business Account)
If you have any issues with the above steps, please refer to Instagram's Help Center or contact their Customer Support team for advice.
Once the above steps have been completed, it's time to head to the Picky Creators platform! In your Profile, under the Social Media section, click to ‘Reconnect’ or ‘Change’ your Instagram account and follow the instructions on the pop-up screen as shown below:
Step 1
Log into the Facebook account which is linked to your Instagram account and select Continue.
Step 2
Please select the Instagram account you wish to connect to your Creator Profile. Note that the Picky Creators platform currently prioritizes the primary page associated with your account. If this page doesn't have a business account attached, it may result in connectivity issues. If you have multiple pages, ensure that the desired one is set as the primary page.
Step 3
Select the Facebook page associated with your Instagram Business account.
IMPORTANT: You MUST complete this step for the connection to be successful.
Step 4
You will be asked to grant permission to Picky Creators. Please keep in mind, if you select 'no' for any of these permissions your social media may not be properly integrated into your profile. You can also edit these settings on Facebook's Business Integrations page.
Step 5
Complete! Your Instagram account is now linked to your Creator Profile! Click OK to head back to the Platform.
