With Feedlink platform you can create a clickable Instagram feed and add it as a link in your Instagram profile bio. To get started first you will need to connect your Instagram profile with a Facebook page. This is an official API requirement of the Facebook/Instagram platform.

Please note that your Facebook account needs to have the admin role to manage the Facebook page that you want to connect with an Instagram profile.

Depending on the Interface of your Facebook page, we provide you with 2 options on how to connect your Facebook page to your Instagram account.

Option 1: Here are the steps on how to connect an Instagram profile with a Facebook page through the official Facebook page.

Step 1: Open your Facebook page and click 'Page Settings' in the bottom left corner


Step 2: In the left-hand menu choose Instagram and click 'Connect Account'


Step 3: A popup will appear where you can select if you would like the people that are managing your page to have access to view and respond to Instagram messages. After that, you will need to click on the "Continue" button.

Step 4: After that, you need to log in to your Instagram profile and once you log in, follow the steps to convert the Instagram profile to a Business / professional profile.

Once finished you will receive a success message 'You've switched to a business account on Instagram'.

Step 5: Go back to Feedlink and in the Social Account page, click on the top right button "Connect new account" and connect with the Facebook account which is managing the Facebook page where you have previously connected your Instagram business account.

Step 6: Please select the Instagram business account that you would like to be added as a source and click on the top right "Next" button.
