You can now connect your Instagram account and share your UGC with the brands you’re affiliated with.

After setting this up, every time you @mention a brand you're partnered with in a post or story, that post will be saved to your Social Snowball dashboard and shared with the brand.

Note: The option to connect your Instagram will only be available if the brand has enabled this feature from their account first.

To connect your Instagram, click Connect from the home page of your affiliate dashboard.

Select the type of Instagram account you have and click Next.

Note: You need a Professional 'Creator' account to connect your Instagram for UCG sharing. If you have any other account type, you will need to switch to a Professional account first.

Next, you need to select whether your Instagram account is connected to a Facebook page. Click Next once done.

Note: Your Instagram must be connected to a Facebook page in order for Social Snowball to verify when you mention a brand.

Now Connect your Instagram with your Social Snowball.

Go through the steps to connect your Meta account that has your Instagram profile.

Select the businesses (Professional accounts) you're connecting to your Social Snowball and click Continue.

Choose your page(s) that are connected to the Instagram account(s) from where Social Snowball will track the UGC.

Finally, select the Instagram account(s) that you will use to share your UGC.

Click Save after granting Social Snowball the necessary permissions to track UGC.

Next, go to the Settings tab in your affiliate dashboard to confirm that your Instagram account is connected.

You can now create content to promote the brand you're affiliated with.

Now, every time you @mention the brand's Instagram in a post or story, the posts will be saved to your account and shared with the brand.

You can view all the content you’ve shared with the brand by checking the Media tab in your affiliate dashboard.
