My goal is to connect the Instagram for Business module. I got the Connection to link to my facebook (as indicated in the screen shot). The issue I have is the Page is empty and it tells me that it requires the Page Publishing Authorization (PPA). The issue is the page that is linked on the forum and on Make goes to ad manager on Meta, which has no info regarding the Page Publishign Authorizaiton (PPA). This mysterious PPA appears in a Meta here: [https://www.facebook.com/help/1939753742723975](https://www.facebook.com/help/1939753742723975) but it is no longer relevant since the info doesn’t appear any more on the dashboard. Apparently the PPA is of utmost importance, so much so that it seems impossible to figure out how to set it up. Does anyone have any instructions on how I can connect Make with Instagram for Business? ![Screenshot 2024-05-23 at 11.57.00 AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/b/6/b6b0430642adb5a9d5db4fb34ec80d898cd92868.png) ---

Hey @Codesto, I’m having the same issue and similar discussions: > [@Instagram business - Page not detected](https://community.make.com/t/instagram-business-page-not-detected/19350): > > Hello Team, Another question slight_smile If someone use instagram business module for post. I have problem with it. I connect my account but my page is not detected I create an app on facebook developper too. Regards, > [@Cannot connect to Instagram](https://community.make.com/t/cannot-connect-to-instagram/9130): > > Hi. New Maker here. grinning I’m attempting to connect to the Instagram Business module to create a photo post and encountering a consistent error. I have already connected my FB account and it is active for my account and connected pages. I cannot get the Instagram connection to go beyond the authorization first step and connect to my IG accounts. I get a Bad Request error message after I click to proceed to connect the module. I have confirmed that my IG account is a business account an… on the topic also did not resolve this problem. - I set up the IG business account (3 of them) - Connected them to my Facebook profile via Instagram - Set up the Meta Business Manager - Did these steps: clear cache and cookies for FB / make / IG then reconnect via the IG module FIRST. This error seems to come if the FB module were connected first - then the IG one would not extend authorization. 2 days have passed, and the IG pages are still not appearing in the field. I thank anyone for some help! ---

Did you get anywhere on this? I am having the same issue. I have used the search function within ads manager to find Page Publishing Authorization and nothing comes up. It doesn’t help that ads manager is the most convolutedly organized system I’ve ever encountered… I don’t understand why setting up access to a regular Facebook page is so easy, but to connect to instagram is so unclear. [Make.com](http://Make.com) doesn’t tell you how to setup page publishing authorization, and neither does Facebook… someone must know out there… ---
