Connecting your Instagram Public Account
Connecting your Instagram Public account is super-easy! It requires none of the complex set-up required for Professional Accounts but it comes with a catch: Genius.AI only gets access to your posts, with no ability to integrate functionality like the Auto-Responder or the ability to share directly from the platform.
However, it also gives you access to a Customized Social Calendar full of content for you to publish - created around what your audience already engages with on Social Media as well as your very own personal profile analysis, where the AI analyzes your content and gives you recommendations, highlights and lowlights directly from your social media profile!
To connect your Instagram Account, head over to the Social Hub (find more about the Social Hub here) and find the following popup (text might look slightly different):
Click "Connect your Instagram Now"
The following popup will appear:
Select "Instagram Public Personal Account"
Make sure your Instagram Account is publicly accessible and does not require people to be accepted by you in order to read your posts - this is necessary so that the AI can read the content on your profile!
Provide the link to your Instagram now - This is the exact link of your profile, it usually looks like https://instagram.com/YOUR INSTAGRAM USERNAME
For example, Genius.AI's Instagram Profile is https://instagram.com/genius.ai.official
Once you have added the link, click Analyze my Instagram - In the next 20 minutes, Genius.AI will have created your Content Calendar.
If you wish to also have Genius.AI read your DMs to suggest you what to say to your followers and prospects, find more about our Browser Extension here
Unlock Genius.AI's Full Potential - Connecting your Instagram Creator Professional Account
In order to use Genius.AI, you need an Instagram Professional Account (Creator or Business) connected to the Meta Business Suite. Follow the video guide below to perform the change.
Connect to Meta Business Suite:
Go to business.facebook.com. Select from your 'Business portfolios', then click 'Connect to Instagram', which is located just below your Facebook page's name.
If no Business Portfolio is available, create one by clicking the 'Create Business Portfolio' button at the bottom of the dropdown.
Please Note: A Facebook Page must also be connected to the same business portfolio as the Instagram Account in order for the connection to happen properly.
Create a post before sharing it on your Instagram page!
For this example, I clicked on 'Post Ideas' located on the left side of the screen.
Then, I clicked on 'Build Your Brand' and selected 'Write Posts About Me'. After that, I chose 'My Happy Place'. The content will be generated automatically, and you’ll see various idea options: Idea #1, Idea #2, Idea #3, Idea #4, Idea #5, and Idea #6.
Click the 'Generate' button for the idea you’ve chosen, and wait for the AI to generate an image.
Choose from the AI generated images: #1, #2, #3, and #4. Click 'Edit' if you wish to make changes to your generated image. Select 'Transform to Video' to create a video from your image.
Let's connect your Instagram account!
On the Idea that you chose, click on the share icon, then select 'Instagram'.
The system will ask you to connect to Genius.AI. Click 'Edit previous settings' and make sure you select the businesses you would like Genius.AI to have access to.
Select the Instagram accounts you want to connect to Genius.AI.
Click 'Continue' and you may close the page after the process has been completed.
Ready to share your post on Instagram?
Go back to Genius.AI and click the share icon on the Idea that you chose, then select Instagram.
You will see a complete post ready for you to share on Instagram.
Choose the Instagram page account where you want the post to be shared. You also have the option to schedule the post by selecting a desired date and time for it to be published, then click 'Share'. If you want to post immediately, simply click 'Share' and wait a few minutes for your post to become visible on your Instagram page.
Note: This process is only for Instagram Professional, Creator, or Business accounts. It will not work for personal accounts due to Instagram's integration limitations with other software. Additionally, your Instagram account must be connected to an entity in the Meta Business Suite.
Here are some content styles for you.
1. Click on Video, then choose either 'Record Yourself' or 'Generate AI Short-Form Video'.
Click Record Yourself to create your own videos.
Click Generate AI Short-Form Video to have the AI generate videos for you. Here, you can choose the Style, Voice, and Subtitle Font.
Check the 'Advanced Settings' box if you want more detailed customization for your AI video. Toggle the 'Transitions, Effects, and Format' button to add video transitions, sound effects, or specify a more detailed video format. Write your AI's script in the 'Script' section, then click 'Generate Video'.
2. Click on Turn Into... and choose from the available caption styles to tailor your captions based on where you plan to share your post.
