Connect Instagram

GizmoSauce supports Instagram via a secure account connection. The exact login path depends on your account type:

• Personal accounts: Instagram Login flow.
• Business/Creator accounts: Meta (Facebook) flow—your Instagram must be connected to a Facebook Page and you must have admin access.

If you connect successfully but see “No Instagram Business/Creator accounts found”, confirm:

• The Instagram account is Business/Creator
• It’s linked to a Facebook Page
• Your Meta user is an admin on that Page

Then reconnect and try sync again.

GizmoSauce uses a secure account connection for Instagram. The correct flow depends on your account type:

• Personal: login via Instagram.
• Business/Creator: login via Meta (Facebook) and pick the connected Instagram account.

If you’re not sure which you have, check your Instagram settings. Business/Creator accounts typically have insights and business tools enabled.

For Business/Creator accounts, Meta requires:

• The Instagram account is connected to a Facebook Page.
• Your Meta user has admin access to that Page.

If you connect successfully but see “No Instagram Business/Creator accounts found”, it’s usually one of those two. Fix the Page linkage/admin role, then reconnect and sync again.

Once connected, GizmoSauce syncs posts server-side and stores a cached set of items. Embeds render from the cache, which is faster and more reliable than requesting social APIs from the visitor’s browser.

Support is fastest when we can reproduce the issue.

Please include:

• The page URL where the widget is embedded (or the editor URL)
• The platform/builder (WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Squarespace, etc.)
• What you expected to happen vs what you see
• A screenshot of where the snippet is pasted (or a short screen recording)

If your issue involves a social connection (Instagram/Threads/TikTok), also include:

• Which login path you used (Instagram vs Meta vs TikTok)
• A screenshot of the provider error screen (if any)
• Whether the account is Personal vs Business/Creator
