Connecting your accounts is what lets PostaiLit publish on your behalf. You can do this during onboarding (Step 5) or any time from Settings, Connections.

Before you start
- You need a Facebook Page, not a personal profile.
- You must be an Admin of that Page.
- Your Instagram should be a Business or Creator account linked to the Page.
Connect Facebook and Instagram (recommended)
This connects both in a single step. Instagram is picked up automatically through the Instagram account linked to your Facebook Page, no separate Instagram login needed.
- Go to Settings, Connections and tap Connect under Facebook + Instagram.
- Log in to Facebook and approve the requested permissions. Facebook asks you to select a Business and a Page, choose yours and continue.
- PostaiLit shows a Choose your Facebook Page screen listing your Pages and any linked Instagram. Select the Page you want and tap Connect this page.
- You are returned to Connections with a success message. Your Page and its linked Instagram are now connected.
Connect Instagram only
Use this if your business does not have a Facebook Page.
- Go to Settings, Connections and tap Connect under Instagram only.
- Log in to your Instagram Business or Creator account and approve all requested permissions.
Troubleshooting
- My Instagram is not showing. Confirm it is a Business or Creator account, and that it is linked to your Facebook Page from the Page settings.
- I do not see my Page. Check that you are an Admin on the Page in Facebook Business Manager.
- The connect window closed. Try again and accept every requested permission. Declining any one of them will fail the connection.
Important Note
- You can connect one Facebook Page per plan. If you have several Pages, pick the one you want PostaiLit to post to on the selection screen.
- PostaiLit only publishes content you approve. You can disconnect any time from Settings, Connections.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I connect multiple Pages?
One Page per plan. Add a second account if you run multiple brands. - Do I have to give every permission?
Yes, declining any one breaks publishing. We use only what is needed to post your approved content. - How do I disconnect later?
Settings, Connections, then Disconnect. You can reconnect any time.
