Connecting Instagram and seeing Orbit8 reply for you1 minConnecting your Instagram account, then watching Orbit8 reply for you.

Before you start

Your Instagram needs to be a Professional account (Creator or Business). Personal accounts can’t connect. On Instagram’s screen, keep every permission switched on.

Connect

  1. 01Tap Connect Instagram.
  2. 02Instagram opens in a small window. Log in to Instagram, if it asks.
  3. 03Tap Allow. That’s it. The Orbit8 page updates on its own.

Lost the window behind another one? Tap Show Instagram window. If your browser won’t open a small window, Orbit8 opens Instagram in the same tab instead.

When it works you’ll see “Connected as @yourhandle”. You can also turn on post access, which is read-only and lets you pick posts and reels when you build an automation.

One account, one workspace

Each Instagram account can be connected to one Orbit8 workspace at a time, and every plan includes one Instagram account.
