# How do I connect my Instagram account to Hypefury?

If you have an Instagram Business account, you can connect Hypefury directly to it. This allows Hypefury to automatically posts your Insta-shot straight to your Instagram profile.

| To change your Instagram account to a Business account, please refer to [this article](https://help.instagram.com/502981923235522).

|| For the APIs to work, the Instagram accounts should be a Professional Business Account and not a Creator Account and must be connected to a Facebook page.

To connect your Instagram account, head to your **Settings** page > Connections

### Error: Instagram account isn't linked to a Facebook Page

For the automatic Instagram publishing to work with Hypefury, you'll need to be using an Instagram Business account that is also linked to a Facebook Page. 

This allows for Hypefury to have the full permissions necessary to publish to Instagram on your behalf.
