Set up a connection
This video demonstrates creating an Instagram connection.
After you start the connection, you have to configure it in the Create connection panel and must complete all of the required * authentication settings:
Setting | Instructions |
---|---|
Name your connection * | Enter a clear and distinguishable name. Throughout integrator.io imports and exports, you will have the option to choose this new connection. A unique identifier will prove helpful later when selecting it from a list of the connections in your account. |
OAuth 2.0 client * |
Select the OAuth 2.0 client that stores the client ID and client secret provided to you by Instagram ads. |
Scopes * |
Scopes are OAuth 2.0 permissions that the Instagram Ads API defines to limit access to your account. |
