Do I need a business account to schedule Instagram posts?

Yes. sprkly can only post to an Instagram professional account: a Business account or a Creator account. A personal account will not connect. You can switch in the Instagram app.

What you need

  • An Instagram account set to Business or Creator.
  • That is all. You do not need a Facebook Page to post to Instagram.
  • sprkly connects through Instagram's own sign-in screen. We never see your password.

How to switch

  1. Open the Instagram app.
  2. Go to Settings, then Account type.
  3. Switch to a professional account. Pick Business or Creator.

Business or Creator?

  • Both connect to sprkly the same way.
  • Both can be scheduled: feed posts, carousels, Reels and Stories.
  • Pick the one that fits you. sprkly does not care which.

Then connect it

  • Open Settings, then Social accounts.
  • Click Connect an Instagram professional account and sign in.
  • Each Instagram handle counts as one account. The Free plan holds 3 accounts.

If it will not connect

  • Check the account type first. A personal account is the most common cause.
  • Still stuck? Email support@sprkly.app. We reply within one business day.

Do it in sprkly: Open Settings, click Connect an Instagram professional account, and sign in with your Business or Creator account.
