Instagram only allows for one account to be connected to Social Rotation per account holder, you will want to have your clients log into their Social Rotation account and have them connect their Instagram account.  We will walk you through how to set that up below.  

The first thing that you have to be sure is that the Instagram Account is a Business Account (also known as a Professional Account). 

To determine if the account is a personal or a business account have your client log into their Instagram account from either their phone or their desktop. 

1 Log into the Instagram app

2. Select the Main Menu in the right top right corner of your profile

3. Tap settings

4. Select Account

5. At the bottom it will either say switch to a personal account or switch to a professional account.  If it says personal you are good to go, if it says switch to a professional account you will need to do that.

A.  Tap Switch to Professional Account                  

B. Select Switch to a Professional Account
