Troubleshoot permission errors on Instagram
When you boost an Instagram post from your professional account, Instagram uses a connected Facebook Page to identify a connected ad account. If you switch the Facebook Page connected to your Instagram professional account, it can create permission errors.
Before you begin
- Check that your Instagram professional account is connected to a Facebook Page.
- You can do this in your Instagram Settings under Linked accounts.
