Maintaining the social networks of your business or company can become a challenge if we do not have time. Facebook promises to make our lives easier with a feature that allows you to link your Facebook page to your Instagram account.
Facebook has an app that allows you to link your Instagram profile to one of your Facebook Pages. This function allows you to publish even from your Facebook account and in parallel the Instagram account is updated. It is a much simpler process than it seems and here you will learn how.
How to link my Facebook page with my Instagram account
To start linking the fanpage with the Instagram account, the first thing you should do is open the Facebook account with which your Instagram profile is linked. This Facebook account must also be the administrator of the fanpage that you want to associate with Instagram.
In the Facebook Search engine you must place the word Instatab. Click on the first search result and it will redirect you to the Facebook application page. On the page you must press the Use app button to enable the functions of the application.
Before adding the new tab with Instagram functions you must select which Facebook page you want to link with the application. You can only choose one of your Facebook Pages to link to.
Configure Instagram
The new tab is now in the left panel of your Facebook account options, named Instagram. You click on the tab and it redirects you to a new page.
Now you must configure the application to work. You must enter your Instagram username, exactly as it appears in your account. The application also allows the use of labels in case you need it.
Then you must choose the view mode of the images with the Default view mode option. This option allows you to configure how large you want the posts to be displayed. You can choose between Thumbnail, Quarter, Small and Normal.
If you want to add another personal touch, the application allows you to add a header image. You can add it from your computer files and they must have a standard size of 810x150px.
When you have made all the necessary modifications, go to the bottom of the page and click on the Save settings button, to save the changes made in the configuration. Your account is now linked to the Instagram account and is ready to be used.
To check that there are no errors in the installation, go to the Facebook page you just linked and look for the Instagram tab. Already from Facebook you can see the photos of the Instagram account.
Advantages of Instagram
You can check your Instagram account from Facebook and save yourself a lot of time monitoring your social networks. In addition, this option allows you to delegate other users and administrators of your Facebook page to monitor the evolution of Instagram posts, without having to access your profile.
When viewing Instagram posts from your Facebook page you have the ability to like posts from there. You can even share the Instagram post on your Facebook page.
With the Instagram account linked to the Facebook page, you can get more followers on Instagram by promoting the posts. Facebook identifies the profile associated with the Instagram account and allows you to promote the post you choose on Facebook.
You can attract a different kind of following with Facebook campaigns. If you know how to correctly segment a Facebook campaign, surely there are many people who will be interested in your business or brand.
