If you want to share on instagram as well, you will need an Instagram business account, as you cannot post to your personal account. You can change your Instagram to a business profile under the instagram profile settings.

Click on Settings and select the Facebook tab, or click in the Connect Facebook graphic on the dashboard.

Click on the connect button:


If you are not already logged into Facebook, you will be asked to login to continue. You should login in to facebook with a user that has permissions to your agent or agency Facebook page. If you are already logged in, you will get the chance to change users before you select your agent or agency page.


If you have an Instagram business account that your Facebook login has permissions to, you will be asked which instagram pages you wish to post content to. If you do not want to post content to Instagram, then do not select any Instagram accounts, otherwise select the accounts you want to use:
