Add Facebook Ads Account to Moderate on Instagram Ads

This article aims to guide you on how to add Instagram Accounts to the Business Manager and to Sprinklr. Both are mandatory requirements to engage on Instagram ads/ dark posts. Instagram does not have a separate ad account and you are required to run your ads on Instagram via Facebook Ads account. 

This article covers the following steps:

• Link Instagram Account to Facebook Business Manager

• Add Instagram Account for Dark Post Comment Moderation

• Add Facebook Ads Account in Sprinklr
