Connect Instagram Business

4 min readinstagramconnectionsoauth

Instagram publishing requires a Business or Creator account — Personal accounts can't post via the API. If you're on Personal, convert first (steps below).

Convert Personal → Business (in the Instagram app)

  1. Open the Instagram app → Profile → three-line menu → Settings and privacy.
  2. Account type and toolsSwitch to professional account.
  3. Pick Business (or Creator — both work with kuhukoo).
  4. Follow the prompts. You'll also need to link a Facebook Page during this flow.

  1. Connections → + Add connectionInstagram Business.
  2. Sign in via Meta (uses the linked Facebook account).
  3. Grant permissions.
  4. Pick the IG account + Facebook Page to link.

Common gotchas

  • "No Instagram Business accounts found" — you're still on Personal. Convert first.
  • "Page not found" — you're not admin of the Facebook Page attached to that IG account.
  • Reels-only accounts — kuhukoo supports both feed posts and Reels; no separate connection needed.
