How To Connect An Instagram Business Account To Statusbrew?

  2. Select Profiles.

  3. Select Add profile.

  4. Select Instagram

You will get two methods to login:

Login via Instagram

Follow this method if you haven't configured your account with Facebook. This method will help you convert your Personal Instagram account to a Professional account, auto-create a Facebook Page that represents your business & connect your newly created Page to the account.

  1. Select Login via Instagram. You'll now be redirected to Instagram.

  2. You'll get a login window if you aren't logged in already. Enter your Instagram account credentials (email and password), then select Log In.

  3. If your profile is not converted to a Business Account, follow the on-screen prompts and complete the steps for converting your Instagram account to a Business Profile.

  4. Review the permissions Statusbrew will receive and select Allow.

Heads up: If you connect via “Login via Instagram” method, these features won't work: Instagram Hashtag Listening, Competitor analysis, Product Tagging, and Collab Ads. To access these, please connect your account through the Login via Facebook method.

Login via Facebook
