Managing your Instagram content should be simple and flexible, and with our updated connection options, it’s easier than ever. Whether you’re a content creator, business owner, or social media enthusiast, Plann has you covered.
Here’s everything you need to know about connecting your Instagram account and taking full advantage of our features.
Professional Instagram Accounts: The Key to Seamless Connection
To use Plann’s Instagram features, you’ll need a professional Instagram account (either a Business or Creator account). These accounts unlock access to scheduling, content management, and auto-posting tools.
No Facebook Page? No Problem!
Great news: You can connect your professional Instagram account to Plann directly, without needing to link a Facebook page. This new connection flow allows you to manage your Instagram content entirely through Plann without extra steps or complications.
Auto-Posting: It’s Your Choice
One of the highlights of this setup is the ability to enable auto-posting for your Instagram posts. If you love the convenience of scheduling posts and letting them go live automatically, this feature is for you!
Prefer the hands-on approach of manual posting? No worries—you can stick with your preferred workflow. Plann is here to support what works best for you.
What to Expect
When you connect your Instagram account directly:
Full Scheduling Features: Plan and schedule your posts with ease.
Auto-Posting: Optional and available for all connected professional accounts.
Simplified Setup: No need for a Facebook page - just connect directly using your Instagram login.
A Few Considerations
While the direct Instagram connection offers simplicity, there are a couple of limitations to note:
Analytics and Product Tagging: These features require a Facebook-linked connection.
Content Retention: Transitioning from a personal account to a professional one shouldn’t affect your saved content. However, if you encounter any issues, our support team is ready to help restore anything missing.
Switching to a Professional Account
Connecting personal Instagram accounts to scheduling tools is no longer possible because of some Meta limitations.
If you’re still using a personal Instagram account, upgrading to a professional account is straightforward and comes with added perks like insights, boosted posts, and expanded features for content creators and businesses. You’ll find the option to switch in your Instagram account settings.
