Instagram Account Requirements

To use Instagram Messaging with Sonikit, your Instagram profile must meet Meta's account requirements.

Supported Instagram Accounts

Sonikit supports Instagram Business accounts connected through Meta's business tools.

Your Instagram profile must:

  • Be configured as a Business account

  • Be connected to a Facebook Page

  • Be managed through a Meta account with the appropriate permissions

Unsupported Account Types

The following account types cannot be connected to Sonikit:

  • Personal Instagram accounts

  • Business accounts that are not connected to a Facebook Page

If your account does not meet these requirements, Meta will prevent Sonikit from accessing Instagram messaging features.

How to Check Your Account Type

In Instagram:

  1. Open your profile.

  2. Tap the menu button.

  3. Open Settings and Privacy.

  4. Navigate to Account Type and Tools.

If your profile is not configured as a Business account, you'll need to switch before connecting it to Sonikit.

Facebook Page Requirements

Meta requires Instagram Business accounts to be linked to a Facebook Page.

When connecting Instagram to Sonikit, you'll be asked to select a Facebook Page and Instagram profile during authentication.

If your Instagram profile is not connected to a Facebook Page, you may not see it during the connection process.

One Instagram Profile Per Project

Each Sonikit project can have one connected Instagram profile.

If you manage multiple Instagram profiles, you can connect different profiles to different Sonikit projects.
