Instagram connection is live
You can connect your Professional Instagram account directly from Page Analytics to sync your data automatically. We're in limited rollout while our Meta app completes review — if the Connect option isn't showing for your account yet, Option A (manual entry) works completely in the meantime.
Option A — Manual analytics (always available)
No API setup required. You enter your numbers directly; Zendora uses them to generate AI-powered recommendations.
- 1
Switch to a Professional Instagram account
If you haven't already, you need a Creator or Business account to see Insights. Tap your profile → hamburger menu → Settings → Account type and tools → Switch to professional account → choose Creator (recommended for solo creators and influencers) or Business → done. Instagram's official guide →

Open Page Analytics in Zendora
Go to Page Analytics. If you haven't added your account yet, click Connect account and fill in your platform and handle. This creates a manual account — no OAuth required.
- 3
Click "Add snapshot"
Enter your current numbers: followers, total posts, average reach, engagement rate, and any post-level metrics you want to track. Pull these from Instagram Insights inside the app (tap your profile → Insights).

Save and read your recommendations
Zendora generates AI-powered recommendations referencing your actual numbers — what to replicate, what to fix, what's working in your niche.
- 5
Add snapshots regularly
Add a new snapshot weekly or monthly. Zendora tracks changes over time and updates recommendations as your numbers shift.
Option B — Automatic API connection (live, limited rollout)
Connect your Instagram account directly so Zendora can pull your analytics automatically — no manual data entry needed.
- 1
Have a Professional Instagram account connected to a Facebook Page
You need a Creator or Business Instagram account, linked to a Facebook Page. This is Meta's requirement for API access. If you haven't connected a Page yet, Instagram walks you through it during the authorization flow. Instagram's official guide →
- 2
Open Page Analytics and click Connect account
Go to Page Analytics, click Connect account, and select Instagram from the platform list.
- 3
Approve access on Instagram
You'll be redirected to Instagram to review Zendora's access request. We request the minimum permissions needed: read your post performance and read your audience insights. We don't post on your behalf, don't read your DMs, and don't access anything we don't tell you about.

Done — your first snapshot syncs automatically
After approval, Zendora pulls your latest analytics and generates your first set of recommendations. Click Sync any time to pull fresh data; recommendations update as your numbers change.
Limited rollout
If the automatic connection option isn't showing for your account yet, we're still expanding access as our Meta app review completes. Use Option A in the meantime — you won't lose your snapshot history when you switch over. Contact us if you'd like to be notified when your account is eligible.
