How do I connect my Instagram account?

In the email you received from your partnering brand or agency, you'll likely see a Link Accounts button asking you to connect your Instagram account. Linking your account will allow the partnering brand or agency to capture real-time metrics on posts and Instagram Stories for the campaign you're collaborating on.

Not only does connecting your account capture real-time metrics, but it can also improve your chances of getting asked to participate in additional future opportunities. We'll go over the steps below, so make sure to keep reading to learn how you can link your Instagram account!

1. Click on the Link Accounts button in your email invitation.
   
   
2. Under Social Accounts, hover over the Instagram section.
   
   
   
   
3. Click CONNECT; a new window should appear. Be sure that your browser allows pop-ups so you can proceed to the next step.
   
   
   
   
4. In the new window, input your Facebook login credentials and accept all permissions.

   Note: Due to Facebook's acquisition of Instagram, you'll be prompted to log in using your Facebook account.

The data that is collected will be read-only. Visit How do we protect your data privacy? for further information on our privacy practices.
