Connect your Instagram

What you need before Octora can send DMs for you.

Instagram has a rule. To send DMs by themselves, your Instagram must be a Professional account (Business or Creator). It must also be linked to a Facebook Page. Every tool that sends Instagram DMs needs this.

Before you start:

  • Switch Instagram to a Professional account. You do this in the Instagram app settings.
  • Link it to a Facebook Page. You do this in the Facebook Page settings.

Then, in Octora:

1. Open Auto Messenger.

2. Tap Connect Instagram.

3. Log in with Facebook.

4. Pick the Page that is linked to your Instagram. Say yes to everything Octora asks for.

Does it say none of your Pages has an Instagram account? Link Instagram to your Page in Facebook, then try again.

Octora uses Instagram's own official way to send messages. It does not log in with your password.
