Instagram dm for clients

[boo]

Consent to Access & Modify

I authorize Pabbly Support to log in to my account and make changes to the specified workflow for troubleshooting.

Regarding the "Instagram (Developer)" integration, I have a specific question about the onboarding process for my clients.


I want to manage 5-10 third-party client accounts. I want to make the connection process as simple as possible for them—ideally, without requiring them to ever open the Meta Developer Portal or add themselves as testers.


My specific question:


Is there any "official" or "simpler" way within Pabbly Connect to have a third party (who is NOT a developer/tester of my app) connect their account to my workflow?


If the answer is "No," am I correct in assuming that my only option is to:


1. Complete the Meta App Review for my app.


2. Build a custom OAuth login page to provide them with their Access Token and Account ID so they can paste them into Pabbly?


I just want to confirm if I’m missing any easier alternative for managing multiple third-party accounts.


Best regards

Hi @boo,

Thank you for your detailed query.

At the moment, the only supported way to connect accounts using the Instagram (Developer) integration is the method outlined in the forum guide below:

https://forum.pabbly.com/threads/connection-guide-instagram-developer.34345/

Apart from the process described there, there is no alternative or simplified official method within Pabbly Connect to allow third-party clients (who are not added as developers/testers) to connect their accounts directly.

So yes, if you want to onboard multiple third-party client accounts without adding them as testers, the approach would require:

1. Completing Meta App Review for your app.
2. Implementing your own OAuth flow to generate access tokens and account IDs that can then be used inside Pabbly.

Currently, there is no built-in simplified authorization mechanism available in Pabbly Connect for this use case.
Please let us know if you need clarification on any of the steps mentioned in the guide.
