# Authenticate Your Instagram Account to IZEA

**Connecting Your Instagram Account to IZEA**

Connecting your Instagram account ensures IZEA can securely verify your profile, access accurate performance insights, and streamline campaign participation.

> ⚠️ **Required:** Confirm you have a Professional Instagram account (either Business or Creator) before you begin authentication in IZEA.

#### Step 1: Change Your Personal Instagram to a Professional Account

1. Log into the Instagram profile you want to use with IZEA.
2. From your profile page, tap **Edit Profile** (under your bio).
3. Tap **Switch to Professional Account**.
4. Choose either **Creator** or **Business Account**.
5. Follow the setup steps and select your appropriate **Category**.

#### Step 2: Authenticate Instagram in IZEA

Once your Instagram account is set up as a professional account, you’re ready to authenticate with IZEA.

You can [authenticate directly from the Offer page](https://support.izea.com/knowledge/authenticate-social-channels-when-accepting-an-offer?hsLang=en) or follow the steps below:

2. Click the **Accept Invite** button
3. In IZEA, click the button to **Connect Instagram** (or the respective social channel you’re authenticating).

5. Confirm the permissions, and once complete, you’ll be redirected back to IZEA with your Instagram account authenticated.
