Instagram

Ownership and availability#

You own the Instagram professional account and its linked Facebook Page. Obelo manages Meta OAuth and encrypted tokens.

Start in Settings → Integrations and check the provider’s current status. This guide describes the configured setup path, not a guarantee of production enablement. Provider approval, plan access and resource permissions still apply.

Before you connect#

• The Instagram account is Professional, not Personal
• It is linked to a Facebook Page managed by the connecting Meta user
• An Obelo workspace owner or admin completes Meta OAuth

Connect an existing account#

1. Open the provider in Settings → Integrations for the intended website.
2. Sign in to the Meta account that manages the linked Facebook Page
3. Grant the requested Instagram and Page permissions
4. Return to Obelo and confirm the Instagram professional account

If you need a new resource#

1. Create an Instagram account and switch it to Business or Creator
2. Create or choose a Facebook Page and link it in Accounts Center
3. Give the connector full Page access before returning

Permissions to check#

• Content publishing requires an Instagram professional account linked to a Facebook Page
• Meta may require Page and Instagram basic access in addition to content publishing permission

Verify and troubleshoot#

After the professional account and Page link are complete, return and reconnect.

Meta returned no eligible Instagram professional account. Check the account type, Facebook Page link, and Page role, then reconnect.

Confirm the selected account or resource and inspect the verification or sync result. A saved connection is not proof that an import or publication has completed. Test the intended workflow with an appropriately reviewed item.

Disconnect or change access#

Use the provider’s management controls in Obelo to disconnect when supported. Revoke the grant or rotate a dedicated credential at the provider if access must end immediately. Review already-imported data separately; disconnection does not remove content already published elsewhere.
