How to Connect Your Instagram Account

You can connect your Instagram account either from the ClickSocial web application or the ClickSocial WordPress plugin.

Please note that Meta’s API for posting to your Instagram account requires that you have a Professional/Business Instagram account and it must be connected to a Facebook page. If your Instagram account is currently a Personal account, when you log into the account in the steps below it will automatically begin a process to convert the account.
