Here are the different steps to connect an Instagram page / account. The Instagram connection funnel starts at step 3:

  1. Source management
  2. Connection roles
  3. Permissions
  4. Page selection
  5. Confirmation

1. Source management

From the menu sidebar, go to Settings > Sources.

The 'sources' page is the main section to manage any account and page: connection, credential refresh, reconnection, and status check. 

 

 

 

 

2. Connection roles

Our Customer Success team is in charge of creating the sources, but the user has to connect them. There are two options to connect a source, depending on the person performing the connection and their role. 

Option 1 : you are the user performing the connection. You can directly click on the options of the source you want to connect, and access 'connect source'. 

Option 2 : someone else performs the connection. 

Click on the button below, and share the copied link to the person who will connect the source.

You will be redirected to this welcome page, where you can choose the type of source you want to connect.
