How to Connect Instagram and Facebook to Awwtomation
Connect an Instagram professional account or a Facebook Page, answer three quick setup questions and get templates picked for your account.
Every automation starts with a connected account. It takes about two minutes, and Instagram and Facebook can sit side by side in the same workspace.
What you need
- An Instagram Business or Creator account, or a Facebook Page you manage (Meta doesn't let apps message from personal profiles)
- An Awwtomation account. You can connect accounts and build automations before you pick a plan.

Sign in with Meta
Meta's own sign-in window opens. Log in, choose the account and allow the permissions Awwtomation asks for. For Facebook you then land on Choose Facebook Pages: tick the Pages you want and click Connect Page. You're sent back to the dashboard with a "Connected" message.

Answer three setup questions
Right after connecting, Awwtomation asks what the account is, how it makes money and what it should do first. Pick what fits and click Continue, then Save on the last question. Skip closes it at any point.

Manage your accounts
Click the account faces beside Dashboard to open Accounts. Each row shows whether the account is connected, its followers and how many automations and DMs it ran this week. The count at the top shows how many accounts your plan allows. Use … on a row to refresh it, edit its details or disconnect it.

Tips
- Connect your Instagram account and your Facebook Page. Messenger chats land in the same inbox as Instagram DMs.
- If an account shows Reconnect, click it and sign in with Meta again. Its automations carry on once it's back.
- Disconnect keeps the account's history. Delete account and data (owners only) removes the account and everything under it.
Questions
Can I connect a personal Instagram account?
No. Meta only lets apps message from Instagram Business and Creator accounts. Switching is free in the Instagram app's settings, under Account type and tools.
How many accounts can I connect?
Two on Starter, ten on Pro and forty on Agency. The Accounts dialog shows how many you've used.
