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.

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)).

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