Connecting your Instagram Business Profile to Vista Social

Before you begin:

Direct posting is currently only available to Instagram business profiles. If you currently have a personal Instagram profile, you need to convert it first to a business profile before you are able to connect it to Vista Social. Check out this Instagram article on how to switch your personal profile to a business one.

Follow the steps below to connect your Instagram Business Profile to Vista Social:

1. Log in to your Vista Social account and go to Profile Settings > Add Social Profile.

2. Choose a brand/entity to add the profile to. You may create a new one if the entity is not on the list yet. Click Continue. 3. Select Instagram Business from the list of social networks.

4. If you are not logged in to Facebook, you will be prompted to log in. Make sure you are logged in to the Facebook personal profile that has access to the Instagram business profile you want to connect. 

5. If you have not connected a Facebook or Instagram profile before to Vista Social, you will see an authentication notification similar to the screenshot below. Make sure NOT to modify any settings and just click Continue.

6. You will now see the list of Instagram business profiles you own or administer, select the profile that you want to connect and click the Connect button at the bottom of the screen.

7. Once the profile is successfully connected you will get a notification and the profile will appear under Profile Management.
