Connect your Facebook account

LinkToDM Signup Options: Facebook or Instagram Login

LinkToDM offers two flexible ways to get started, based on how you prefer to connect your Instagram account:

Facebook Login (For Business/Creator Accounts): best suited for users who want the full power of automation including Comment-to-DM, Story Replies, Click Tracking, and Analytics. This method requires that your Instagram Business or Creator account is linked to a Facebook Page. It’s fully API-compliant with Meta’s platform requirements.

Instagram Login (No Page Linking Needed): a quick and easy setup path ideal for creators or small brands who want to get started without the hassle of Facebook integration. You only need your Instagram credentials to begin automating messages and setting up templates, with no Facebook Page necessary.

Important

Before connecting, make sure no other third-party apps like ManyChat or other Instagram automation tools are connected to your account. Multiple tools trying to use the same Instagram API permissions can cause automation failures, message delays, or get you action-blocked by Instagram.
