How to connect Instagram to Rollout

Plain steps: switch Instagram to Creator or Business, then sign in with Instagram. Facebook is optional.

Rollout can post your release cover picture and caption to Instagram. Instagram only allows this for a Creator or Business account — not a plain personal profile.

Good news: you sign in with Instagram. You do not need a Facebook Page, and you do not paste any developer codes.

What you need

• Your Instagram account (you’ll switch it to Creator or Business — free).
• A track in Rollout with cover art.

Part A — On your phone (do this first)

1. Open the Instagram app → your profile.
2. Open the menu → Settings (wording may say Settings and activity).
3. Open Account type and tools.
4. If you are still personal, tap Switch to professional account and pick Creator (or Business — either works).

If you skip this, Instagram will refuse the connection. Linking a Facebook Page is only needed if you also want Facebook posts.

Part B — In Rollout

1. Open Social → Connections.
2. Tap Instagram.
3. Click Connect Instagram.
4. An Instagram window opens — log in the way you normally do (your Instagram account, not Facebook).
5. Say yes when it asks about posting. You return here with Instagram connected.
6. Pick a track that has cover art → Send a test post → check Instagram.

Things to know

• Links in Instagram captions are not tappable. Rollout still puts your SoundCloud address in the text so people can copy it.
• You need cover art on the track first.
• If connect fails because the account is still personal, redo Part A, then try Connect Instagram again.
