Direct Instagram Connection for Social Planner

June 19, 2025•1 min read

Managing your social media through your system helps you simplify your posting schedule and automate responses to comments. Previously, connecting your Instagram account required a connection from the entire Meta Business Suite. Now, you can do it directly. Let's check it out!

⭐️How Will These Changes Affect You?

Stories Support: Direct Instagram integration supports auto-posting Stories from Creator accounts.
Statistics Change: While view metrics for images and videos won’t be recorded, other post data is available in Statistics.

⭐️How To Use Direct Instagram Connection?

Navigate to the Social Planner tab inside the Marketing section and click the gear icon.
Then, click + Connect Social.
Select the Instagram option.
A pop-up will appear with the options “Instagram with Facebook” and “Direct Instagram Integration”; select the latter one, then follow the steps to connect your account.

You’ll be redirected to a Facebook tab (which owns Instagram) to complete your connection. Once you’ve granted necessary permissions and chosen your account, you’re all set. Now you’re ready to schedule posts to Instagram, no Facebook Page needed!
