Start your integration by clicking on the 'Activate' button (highlighted in blue) below either the Facebook or Instagram category.

The process of integration is quite similar if it comes to a new view of the mentions tab. What is different is the placement of integration bars. Those can be found in the right corner, in the Sources. Click on the ‘Connect’/'Add sources' button (highlighted in green) below either the Facebook or Instagram category.

Upon clicking, you'll be directed to our Facebook & Instagram integration settings page.

Now click on the big blue button shown above (Connect Facebook and/or Instagram Account(s)).
​
Upon selecting this a pop-up will appear,* in which you will (if not already logged in) be prompted to log in. (This account must have admin-level access to the IG profile & FB pages you want to connect Brand24 with and must be a Business/Creator account - for more info on how to switch your account to business/creator - watch this video).

*You may need to disable your Adblocker for the pop-up to appear.

You will then be asked to choose the Meta Business Account you want to use to collect public mentions.

Upon clicking next, you will be asked to choose the Facebook Page you want to use to collect public mentions.
