1. Before you connect Instagram

Hookle supports professional Instagram accounts, including both "business" and "creator" accounts.

Due to Instagram limitations, personal Instagram accounts cannot be connected to Hookle. Don’t worry - when connecting your personal account to Hookle, the process will automatically prompt you to switch to a professional account if it’s currently personal. Switching to a professional account is simple, free, and seamlessly integrated into the connection process.

Note: Previously, linking and authenticating a Facebook page was required to connect and use Instagram. Now, this step is no longer needed, making the setup process much easier.
