Integrations Guide

Google Business Profile

1. Go to Settings then Integrations in your dashboard.
2. Click "Connect" next to Google Business Profile.
3. Sign in with the Google account that manages your business listing.
4. Select the correct business location from the list.
5. Grant the requested permissions (post updates, manage reviews).

If you do not see your business in the list, make sure you have verified ownership of the listing in Google Business Profile directly.

Instagram and Facebook

Instagram and Facebook are connected through a single Meta integration. You need a Facebook Page linked to an Instagram Professional account.

1. Go to Settings then Integrations.
2. Click "Connect" next to Instagram / Facebook.
3. Log in with your Facebook account.
4. Select the Facebook Page and linked Instagram account.

If your Instagram account is not linked to a Facebook Page, you will need to link them first in Meta Business Suite.

2. Click "Connect" next to Google Drive.
3. Authenticate with the Google account that has access to your photo folder.
