Connect your Instagram account

2 min readUpdated

Signing in with Instagram connects your account to LinktoDM directly. There’s no Facebook Page to link, no Business portfolio to pick, and no Page admin access to track down first — your Instagram credentials are the only thing you need.

That makes it the right pick for creators and small brands who want to be automating messages and building templates today rather than untangling a Facebook setup.

Take the other path, Connect your Facebook account, if you want the full feature set — Comment-to-DM, Story Replies, Click Tracking and Analytics — or if you want to automate a Facebook Page as well. A Page can even be connected on its own there, with no Instagram account involved. You can only use one of the two methods per Instagram account, so pick the one that matches what you plan to build.

The whole flow takes a couple of minutes.

1. Go to console.linktodm.com

2. Pick “Continue with Instagram”

The sign-in screen offers both Facebook and Instagram. Choose Instagram to skip the Page requirement entirely.

3. Log in and approve access

Enter your Instagram credentials, then add your email ID when prompted. Approve every permission request — messaging and comment access in particular, since those are what your automations run on. LinktoDM drops you straight into the dashboard once it’s done.
