To allow your users to connect their accounts, you must: 1. Provide a Privacy Policy URL in App Settings -> Basic. 2. Toggle the switch at the top of the dashboard from Development to Live.

❓ Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

  • Instagram account not showing up? Ensure it is a Business Account and correctly linked to a Facebook Page.
  • Permissions error? Make sure you have clicked "Request Access" for all the critical scopes in Step 5. Meta may require a brief App Review for some permissions.
  • Redirect URI Error? Double-check the URL in the Facebook Login settings matches Artifism exactly.
