Connecting your Instagram accounts to Catchr allows you to centralize your social data and automate your reporting workflows.
Your Instagram account must be:
An Instagram Business account (sometimes called a "professional account"), or a Creator account that uses Facebook authentication and isn't restricted, age-limited, or private.
Linked to an active Facebook Page, which has been claimed.
Visit Instagram's help center to learn how to change your account type.
Your Facebook account must:
Be a Facebook user account with Insights permissions.
If it's using the new Pages experience, the account needs Full control access to the Facebook Page linked to the Instagram account.
Go to app.catchr.io and log in using your Google account.
In the left-hand menu, click on Sources.
Click + Add source at the top right of the page.
From the list of platforms, select Instagram (available in the Social section).
Name your Source on Catchr and click Connect your account (the name is available in the Source list on Catchr). We advise naming it with Instagram - [Catchr username].
Connect to Facebook
This doesn’t have to be the same email as the one used on Catchr.
To find your Instagram accounts on Catchr, they must be linked to a Meta account.
Check the previous settings :
Select Opt-in to all current and future Instagram Pages so Catchr displays all future Instagram accounts you can manage (they won’t be automatically activated, but will appear in your Catchr Source a few hours after you get access).
Provide the authorization to Catchr (Meta required us to request all these authorizations). Catchr will only retrieve the data you request, and we will never write data to any accounts.
Click Got it to finalize the connection between Meta and Catchr.
Your account will now appear in the Accounts list under the source you've just created.
An inactive account will still appear in the destination setup screens. You can activate it manually, but it will also be automatically activated as soon as it's used in a query. If your Catchr Source contains many accounts, you don't need to activate them manually; Catchr will automatically activate them when they are used.
You can now send data from your available accounts to one of Catchr's supported destinations, such as databases or visualization tools like Looker Studio, Google Sheets, Excel, Power BI, or Tableau.
