There are currently two main benefits of connecting your Instagram Account:
We will be able to track your Instagram Story and Tag Mentions
You will be able to request Partnership Ads permissions from the Creators you work with
To connect your Instagram Account, please go to your Integrations Tab in the Organization's settings and click on Instagram.
After clicking "Add Instagram Account", you will be redirected to Instagram's experience of adding your accounts. Please select the Instagram Business Accounts you would like to connect, as well as the Facebook Pages connected to these Instagram Accounts. You can connect multiple accounts at once.
⚠️ In case you already connected Instagram Story Mentions before Dec 16th, please go through the "Add Instagram Account" flow again to grant Sprout Social Influencer Marketing additional Partnership Ads permissions.
Invite collaborators to connect Instagram accounts
If you do not have access to your company's Instagram accounts, you can use our additional functionality to invite people from outside your organization (collaborators) to connect these Instagram accounts to your organization.
How to do that?
In the Instagram integration click the “Manage Collaborators” button in the “Invite people to connect Instagram accounts” part.
Type your social media admin e-mail address and click “Invite Collaborator.”
Social media admin will receive an e-mail with an option to connect an account. They have to click the “Continue” button in the e-mail.
Social media admin has to type their name and click the “Add Instagram Account” button.
They need to log in with their Facebook credentials, choose a profile to connect, etc., as previously demonstrated.
After a successful connection, users are able to see collaborators on the list:
Accounts that are already connected are also listed:
