Instagram setup and sharing guide

Instagram connection and automatic posting are not available in RealEstateMarketingEngine yet. There is no Connect Instagram button today; use manual sharing below.

Before you start

  • Sign in to Instagram with the account you want to post from.
  • For future automatic publishing, use a Professional account (Business or Creator); personal accounts are not eligible for this API workflow.
  • A Facebook Page is not required for the planned Instagram Login approach. A different Facebook Login integration would require a linked Page.

Follow these steps in order

  1. 1.

    Prepare your account

    If you want future automatic publishing, open Instagram’s Settings and activity, find Account type and tools, and choose Switch to professional account. Labels may vary. Choose Business or Creator as appropriate.

  2. 2.

    Save your article graphic

    Open the article’s social panel in RealEstateMarketingEngine and save an available branded graphic. If no graphic is available, use your own image.

  3. 3.

    Create an Instagram post manually

    Open Instagram and create a post with your saved image. Put the article title first in the caption, followed by your key points, Learn more at YourSite.com and your website hashtag.

  4. 4.

    Give readers a usable article link

    Ordinary caption links are not clickable. Add the article to your profile link or use a Story link sticker when available, then direct readers there.

  5. 5.

    Publish and verify in Instagram

    Review the caption, image and link destination, then publish in Instagram and check the result. RealEstateMarketingEngine does not record this manual post as an automatic share.

Troubleshooting

Where is Connect Instagram?

It is not available yet. Changing plans or account type will not create a connection button. Use manual posting until RealEstateMarketingEngine announces the integration is ready.

The caption link is not clickable

Use the profile link or an available Story link sticker instead; this is Instagram’s behavior, not a failed website connection.

RealEstateMarketingEngine application owner: requirements before enabling Instagram
  1. Configure Instagram API with Instagram Login in the Meta developer application. Implement the secure per-member login and publishing flow before presenting a connection button.
  2. Request instagram_business_basic and instagram_business_content_publish, and complete App Review, Advanced Access and Business Verification when Meta requires them for serving other members’ accounts.
  3. Register the implemented application callback with Meta and test eligible accounts and supported media. Until these requirements and a live publishing test pass, keep Instagram labeled unavailable. Ordinary members do not create a Meta developer app.
