Instagram for Business
With Instagram for Business modules in Make, you can manage the events, insights, media, users, comments, and stories in your Instagram for Business account.
To use the Instagram for Business modules, you must have a Facebook account that can perform admin-equivalent tasks on a Facebook page that has been connected to the Instagram account you want to access and an Instagram Business account. You can create an Instagram account on instagram.com, and then switch the profile to a Business account. Please refer to the Set Up a Business Account on Instagram guide.
Refer to the Instagram for Business API documentation for a list of available endpoints.
