Sync your social media accounts to create social posts through your Constant Contact account

Connect your Facebook Pages, Instagram Business Profiles, and LinkedIn personal profiles or company pages to your Constant Contact account so you can start creating social posts and responding to comments

By connecting your social media accounts with our social tools, you can share emails and events, create and manage all of your public-facing posts, and create Facebook and Instagram Ads or Lead Ads from within your Constant Contact account. Connect a single account, or if you manage multiple Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn accounts for your organization, you can connect them all. All you need is the login credentials for each account you want to connect.

• Connect your Facebook accounts
• Connect your Instagram accounts
• Connect your LinkedIn accounts

Save time: Opening a new browser tab and logging into the social media accounts you want to connect before you get started makes the syncing process go more quickly!

Connect your Facebook & Instagram accounts

Connect a single Facebook and Instagram account, or select multiple accounts to sync. Keep in mind, Facebook and Instagram do not allow posts to personal profiles through third-party apps. To Set up your Facebook Page, you must connect a Facebook profile to it. You can create multiple Facebook Pages; so when you're ready to create a post, you choose the pages you want to share to.

Our social tools don't connect directly to your Instagram account, instead they connect to your Instagram Business Profile linked to your corresponding Facebook account. You don't have to connect to the Facebook Page, unless you want to, so when you create posts you can choose to share them only on Instagram. All of this is easily managed through your Meta Business account! 

1. Click Marketing channels ... > Social posts. 
2. Click Connect Social Accounts. If you've already created a draft post, click the Accounts tab instead. 
   
   
    
3. Select Facebook or Instagram.
   
   
    
4. Sign into your Facebook account to sync your pages and allow Constant Contact permission to integrate with your account to create public-facing posts and import engagement activity from your connected pages. This doesn't give Constant Contact permission to access any of your personal account information or to post to your personal profile:

• Enter your user name and password and Click Log In.
  
  
   
• Click Continue as [Name]. This lets us pull your username and profile picture from your personal Facebook Profile into your Constant Contact account (see image example in step 5.) We have to go through your Facebook Profile to connect your Facebook Pages, but you can't post anything to your personal profile.
  
  
   
• Enter in your two-factor authentication security code, and click Continue.
  
  

5. Click Edit previous settings to select the Facebook Pages you want to connect to Constant Contact.
   Note: You're not able to connect your personal Facebook profile for posts due to Facebook restrictions.

   • Opt in to all current and future Businesses. 
   • Opt in to current Businesses only.

Once your Facebook and Instagram accounts are connected, you can create and share a post. Then, after your posts are published, you can review what kind of engagement you're getting and respond to likes and comments too!
