📌 Connecting Instagram to Carl for Social

Connecting Instagram to the app and meeting Meta's requirements may seem more complex compared to linking previous accounts. This is because there are three specific requirements set by Meta that need to be met.


But don’t worry – Carl is here for you! 💜 He will guide you through every step quickly and efficiently. We've prepared both instructional tutorials and a detailed step-by-step guide for each requirement. Choose exactly what you need!

Meta's requirements are as follows:

➡️ Is your Instagram account set to Business or Creator?

➡️ Is your Instagram account linked to Facebook?

➡️ Is two-factor authentication enabled on your Facebook account that is connected to Instagram?

Do you meet all of them? If you're unsure or need to set up any of these steps, check out the separate guide 💡.

❓ If you encounter any trouble logging into Facebook, see this article here ⬅️ for tips on accessing your account.


We hope this makes connecting your accounts simple! If you need further help, don’t hesitate to reach out through our support team in the Intercom Help Center 💜.
