How to connect each network to SocAils. Each one starts on the Accounts tab.
Instagram posts go through the Facebook Page your Instagram is linked to. Do these once:
- Switch to a professional account. In the Instagram app, open your profile, tap the menu (three lines), then Account type and tools and Switch to professional account. Pick Creator or Business. Both are free.
- Link it to a Facebook Page. In the Instagram app, tap Edit profile, then Page, and connect the Page you manage. No Page yet? Create one, it is free.
- Connect in SocAils. On Accounts, press Connect on Facebook + Instagram. Sign in with the Facebook login that manages the Page, then tick the Page. Its Instagram comes with it.

Facebook Page
SocAils posts to Facebook Pages, not to personal profiles.
- No Page yet? Create one, it is free.
- On Accounts, press Connect on Facebook + Instagram and sign in with the Facebook login that manages your Page.
- When Facebook asks which Pages SocAils may use, leave your Page ticked. Back in SocAils, tick it again and press Add selected Pages.
