Showcase student artwork, classroom projects, and campus life by pulling your school's visual Instagram posts directly into the Edlio Mobile App newsfeed.
Prerequisites for Connecting Instagram
Because Meta manages Instagram API access through the Facebook Graph API platform, the following prerequisites must be met before connecting:
The Instagram account must be a Professional Account (either Business or Creator type; personal accounts are not permitted by Meta API rules).
The Professional Instagram account must be connected to an active Facebook Page where you have administrative management permissions.
Connecting an Instagram Feed
From the dashboard, navigate to News > Settings > Feeds.
Select the Instagram Feed tab and click + New.
Click Connect with Facebook and authenticate with the administrative Facebook user managing your linked Page.
Select the linked Professional Instagram account from the list.
Configure notification and category settings, then click Save.
đĄ Best-Practice Adoption Tip: Instagram is Edlio's highest-engagement visual channel for parent apps. When setting up an Instagram feed, assign it to a dedicated "Campus Highlights" or "Student Life" newsfeed category so parents can easily filter photo posts from administrative policy notices.
