In short
- You need an Instagram Business or Creator account.
- Connect it once in Settings, and say yes to what Instagram asks.
- Automation is on every plan, Free too.
Steps
- Open Settings and find Social accounts.
- Next to Instagram, click Connect Instagram (Business or Creator).
- A popup opens on Instagram. Log in.
- Allow the permissions Instagram asks for.
- See Turn on automation next to your account? Click it. Tick both permissions.
- Open Automation in the menu on the left. Click New automation and pick a template.
Good to know
- A personal account will not connect. In the Instagram app, go to Settings, then Account type, and switch.
- Connecting only works on sprkly.app.
- Each plan includes people a month: 10 per account on Free. The paid plans share theirs across all accounts: 500 on Creator, 1,000 on Brand, unlimited on Pro and Agency (fair use).
