Follow these steps to configure Instagram for Social Poster.

In order to post to Instagram, you must ensure the following:

  • Your Instagram account is set to "Business" and not "Creator".
  • Your Instagram account is linked to a Facebook page.
  • You configure the Image Field for Post setting for an account.
  • Posts have an asset in the nominated image field. This asset must have a public URL, and cannot be a locally served-asset in order for Instagram to retrieve it.
