Step by step guide to registration 🙌🏼
Validating your Instagram account via OAuth may seem a little complex at first glance, especially since this process runs via Facebook's meta level. In this article, we explain step by step what is required and why this process is important. This process is only used to establish the necessary connections without us gaining access to your personal data or changing anything in your account.
What is required?
- Facebook login with all necessary permissions: During the registration process, you will be asked to log in with your Facebook account. It is important that you grant us all the requested permissions. These permissions are necessary so that we can ensure that your Instagram account is correctly connected to our platform. We only use these permissions to complete the registration process and enable your participation in campaigns.
- Instagram profile as a Creator or Business account: The Instagram profile you want to validate must be either a Creator or Business account. If your profile is not yet a Creator or Business account, you can easily change this in your Instagram account settings. Unfortunately, private accounts cannot be used.
- Link to a Facebook page: Your Instagram account must be linked to a Facebook page. This is a technical requirement from Meta to enable the connection. Don't worry, this does not give us access to the content of your page or account – it is only used for the link.
Why is this necessary and what does (not) happen to your data?
- Collection of campaign data (convenience feature): The permissions you grant us are used exclusively to collect campaign data. This helps us analyze your activities in our campaigns and offer you the best opportunities. We do not have access to your private messages, photos, or other sensitive data.
- No changes to your account: An important point: We cannot and will not change anything on your Instagram account. The oAuth process is simply a secure method of confirming that you are the actual owner of the specified account and of obtaining the data necessary to participate in campaigns.
With this information, the validation of your Instagram account should go smoothly and without any worries. If you still have concerns or questions, our support team is always available to help. We are here to assist you and ensure that you feel comfortable and secure with us.
