d) I have problems with connecting my Instagram account with Promoty

We have noticed that some users have problems with connecting their accounts. In most cases, this is a Facebook-sided problem that we can’t help with.

In this case, you can use the basic connection option. It means you can see the campaigns and apply to them and marketers will be able to see your Instagram username and the number of followers. However, the number will not be updated automatically later and the engagement rate, followers’ demographics, etc. will also not be visible.

On our app, you’ll find a view where there are 3 steps you can follow for the easy connection:

1. Copy the emojis

2.Ā Open the Instagram post and paste the copied emojis in the comments. (This account is made for connection purposes only, it won’t be shown anywhere else.)

3.Ā Press on the “I have posted the comment” button.
