How to connect Instagram Business to ARIQ

Use this guide when an agency connects a client's Instagram Business account, or when a business connects its own Instagram Business account. The connection is saved on the open project.

Credential format:Meta OAuth — instagram_basic

Who connects Instagram Business

The connection is saved on one project. An agency connects each client from that client's project. A business connecting its own account uses its own project. Both follow the same Connect button.

Agency

Sign in to ARIQ with your agency user. Open the client project, then connect that client's Instagram Business account. The client does not need an ARIQ login. Use the Instagram Business login that can already see that client's data.

Your own business

Sign in to ARIQ, open your project, and connect the Instagram Business account this business already uses. You approve access with that same account.

Connect it inside ARIQ

  1. 1Sign in to ARIQ.
  2. 2Open the project this account belongs to. Switch projects from the left sidebar if you manage more than one client.
  3. 3Open Instagram Business from the workspace tabs, or go straight to the Instagram Business page.
  4. 4Click Connect, then Sign in with Instagram Business. ARIQ sends you to Instagram Business. Sign in with the account that can see this client's data and allow access. You do not paste a password into ARIQ.
  5. 5Stay on that project and sync. The page shows live numbers only after this account is connected. Another client's project stays empty until you connect it there too.

On Instagram Business, before you click Connect

Do this in the Instagram Business account that belongs to the client, or in your own account if this project is your business. Then come back to ARIQ and click Connect.
