Meta sure doesn’t make it easy to post photos to IG. I have spent the greater part of the day trying to set up an integration between Zapier and IG. I have gone through the following steps:

  • Created a FB Page
  • Created an Instagram Account
    • Changed the account to a business account
  • Connected to IG for Business via Zapier using my FB login credentials
    • When going through the steps I granted access to the Professional (Business) Account
    • Provided access to the Page
    • This was confirmed in the “Business Integration” settings within my personal FB settings
  • Within the Meta Business Suite
    • Provided IG account access to the FB Page
    • Provided the FB Page access to IG
    • Ensured I have full control of both FB Page & IG Account

I still cannot find the IG Account when setting up my zap - what am I missing?! Any support is appreciated!

 

 

Hi ​@ken.a I solved it. It had nothing to do with zapier but with instagram. My facebook account was not listed as a site on my instagram. I could fix it now. Thanks anyways

 

That’s an amazing news ​@PowerPunch! Thank you for looping back with an update here!

If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Community. We’re always happy to help! 🤗

Had the same issue, nothing to do with Zapier, issue is with convoluted process and permission structure on Meta side.

Your Instagram account needs to be linked to your Meta business account but you also need to have a Facebook page in the same group AND, Instagram and DB pages need to be linked to each other directly, having them under the same business account is not enough. 

Thanks so much for sharing details of what worked for you, ​@dusko.a! 🤗 It’s really helpful to know that the Instagram account needs to be linked to the Meta business account, have a Facebook page in the same group, and that the Instagram and Facebook pages must be directly linked to each other. This will definitely help others running into the same issue.

Appreciate you taking the time to post this—thanks again! 🙌

Hi there @lookingup,

You should be able to find the ID of the Instagram account in this window here:

(view larger)

The ID should contain numbers below the Instagram account name.

Where do i find this page?

Hi ​@Masonic Order,

 

The screenshot you mentioned appears to be from the Instagram Business Account settings within Facebook. To access this page, log in to the Facebook account linked to your Instagram Business Account, click the dropdown arrow on the top right, and select "Manage Pages." Choose the connected Facebook Page, then click "Settings" in the left-hand menu, followed by "Instagram." This section will display your Instagram Business Account details, including the ID. Remember, these steps apply only if your Instagram account is set as a Business Account and linked to a Facebook Page—if you're using a personal or Creator account, the process may differ.
