If your school already has a Facebook Page connected to the Edlio Mobile App, you can link your school's Professional Instagram account through that existing connection in just a few clicks.
⚠️ Meta Platform Requirement: Instagram accounts cannot connect to third-party dashboards as standalone personal profiles. The account must be converted to a Professional (Business or Creator) account and linked to your school's Facebook Page in Meta Business Suite.
How to Link Instagram via Facebook
Ensure your Instagram account is linked to your Facebook Page in the Meta Business Suite or Facebook Page Settings.
From the Edlio dashboard, go to News > Settings > Feeds.
Select Facebook Feeds and edit your existing connection, or select Instagram Feeds and click Connect with Facebook.
When Meta prompts you to select connected assets, check the box next to your linked Instagram Professional Account.
Grant the requested read permissions and confirm.
Select whether new Instagram photos should trigger Push Notifications and assign an App Newsfeed category.
Click Save to complete the connection.
💡 Best-Practice Adoption Tip: Keep both Facebook and Instagram connected to reach diverse demographics. Grandparents and alumni engage heavily on Facebook, while current parents and students follow Instagram. Connecting both ensures your mobile app aggregates comprehensive school community storytelling in one central location.
