Why Add Your Instagram to Your Facebook Page
Linking your Instagram account to your Facebook page allows you to:
Increase visibility of your Instagram account to your Facebook followers.
Facilitate engagement by providing your visitors direct access to your Instagram posts.
Centralize your communication and enhance the consistency of your online presence.
In short, connecting your accounts strengthens your digital presence and makes your content more accessible to your audience.
Prerequisites: To follow this guide, you need an active Instagram account and a Facebook page where you have an admin or editor role.
How to Add Your Instagram Account to Your Facebook Page
Only accounts with an admin or editor role on the page can perform this operation. For more information on the different roles on this page: Facebook Helpdesk.
Tip: If you don't have the correct role, ask the page admin to grant it to you.
Here are the steps to follow:
Go to your Facebook page, then click on Manage Page → Edit Information.
In the designated field, enter the exact username of your Instagram account (without @).
The linking is automatic; your Instagram account should immediately appear in the page information.
Troubleshooting Tips:
If your account does not appear, check that the username is correct.
Ensure your Instagram account is active and public.
Refresh the page if the update is not immediate.
Verify the Connection and Optimize Integration
Confirm that the Instagram account is displayed in your page information.
Try sharing a post from Instagram to test the connection.
Best Practices for Linking Your Accounts
Check your roles: Ensure you have the appropriate role (admin or editor) to avoid any restrictions.
Use an exact username: An incorrectly entered name will prevent proper account linking.
Synchronize regularly: If you change your Instagram account, update your Facebook page to maintain consistency.
Take advantage of integrated features: Once connected, you can share your Instagram posts directly on Facebook and track performance centrally.
