How to connect the social media channel to Vee platform?
This guide walks you (and your team) through connecting Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn to Maggie so you can schedule posts, publish automatically, and view performance insights in one place.
Before you begin (requirements)
To unlock Maggie’s full capabilities, make sure the following are true:
-
Instagram: an Instagram Business Account (not personal/creator).
-
Facebook: a Facebook Page for your business.
-
Meta Business Manager: both the Instagram Business Account and the Facebook Page are added and linked inside Meta Business Manager, and your user has Admin access.
-
You can log in to the accounts you plan to connect (Meta and LinkedIn).
Tip: If your Instagram is personal, switch to Business in the Instagram app (Settings → Account → Switch to professional account → Business).
Step 1 — Set up Meta Business Manager (one-time)
-
Go to business.facebook.com and sign in.
-
Click Create account, name your business, and complete setup.
-
In Business Settings:
-
Go to Accounts → Pages → Add → Add a Page (choose your existing business Page or create a new one).
-
Go to Accounts → Instagram accounts → Add and log in to add your Instagram Business Account.
-
Under Users → People, confirm your user has Admin access to the Page and Instagram account.
-
Step 2 — Connect Meta (Instagram & Facebook) to Maggie
-
In Maggie, open Settings → Integrations.
-
Click Connect Meta (or Connect Instagram/Facebook).
-
Sign in with your Meta credentials and approve the requested permissions.
-
Select the Facebook Page and Instagram Business Account you want Maggie to manage.
-
Finish and confirm. You’ll see the accounts listed as Connected.
Step 3 — Connect LinkedIn (optional, recommended)
-
In Maggie, go to Settings → Integrations.
-
Click Connect LinkedIn.
-
Sign in to LinkedIn and approve access.
-
Choose the Company Page (and/or personal profile, if applicable) to connect.
What you can do after connecting
-
Schedule & auto-publish posts to Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
-
Centralize content planning for multiple channels.
-
View performance: reach, engagement, and post-level metrics (where supported).
-
Collaborate safely: Maggie uses official APIs and your platform permissions.
Troubleshooting & common fixes
I don’t see my Instagram or Facebook Page in Maggie
-
Ensure both assets are added in Meta Business Manager and linked.
-
Confirm you’re an Admin for the Page and the Instagram account in Business Settings.
-
If you recently changed roles, try disconnecting/reconnecting Meta in Maggie.
Instagram says it isn’t a business account
-
In the Instagram app, switch to Business (not Creator), then re-add it in Meta Business Manager and reconnect.
Connection fails or expires
-
Connections can expire when passwords change or permissions are updated. In Maggie, go to Integrations → Reconnect and complete the Meta or LinkedIn prompts again.

Best practices
-
Keep Admin access only for people who truly need it; use Editor roles where possible.
-
Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) for Meta and LinkedIn admins.
-
Reconnect services in Maggie after major permission changes in Meta or LinkedIn.
-
Review connected accounts in Maggie monthly to ensure everything stays authorized.
FAQ
Do I need both Instagram and Facebook connected?
For Instagram Business accounts, Meta requires a linked Facebook Page. Connecting both ensures scheduling, publishing, and analytics work reliably.
Can I connect multiple Pages/Profiles?
Yes—repeat the connection steps in Settings → Integrations for each additional Page/profile you manage.
Will Maggie post without my approval?
Only posts you schedule or approve in Maggie are published. You remain in control.
