The short answer
Link Instagram to a Facebook page from the page settings on Facebook under «Linked accounts» then Instagram, from «Edit profile» on Instagram under «Page», or from the Meta Business Suite settings. The Instagram account must be professional, and you need full control of the page. Linking gives one inbox, ads that run on both platforms, and auto-reply and comment tools that work on Instagram through the page.

|---|---|
| The link option does not show | Make sure you are a page admin with full control, signed in to the Facebook profile that manages it |
| Linking refused because the account is personal | Switch the Instagram account to professional and try again |
| The account is linked to another page | Unlink it from the old page first, or link it to the new one, which unlinks the old |
| Forgot the Instagram password | Recover it from Instagram's sign-in screen before linking |
| The account does not appear in the reply tool after linking | Log in with Facebook again in the tool and pick the page; in ArabyBot the @account shows on the page's card |
Why linking matters for a merchant
Linking gathers Messenger, Instagram messages and comments in one inbox, lets one ad run on both platforms, and opens Instagram to auto-reply tools through the page. In ArabyBot the AI agent then answers Instagram messages and comments, and sends commenters a private message that completes the sale. Connecting Facebook and Instagram to ArabyBot.
Frequently asked questions
Can one Instagram account link to more than one page?
No; one account links to one page at a time. Linking it to a new page unlinks the old one.
Does what I post on Instagram appear on Facebook automatically?
Linking alone does not do that; sharing to Facebook is an option you turn on or off. You can schedule a post for both together. Scheduling posts.
How do I unlink Instagram from Facebook?
From the page settings under linked accounts choose Instagram, then unlink. Shared ads and reply tools working through the page stop afterwards.
