Troubleshooting



I connected the plugin, but it says "Not Configured" and the "Connect" button is disabled?

If you see this error, it means that you connected a Facebook page that does not have an Instagram account connected to it. Please see How to connect a Facebook Page to your business account here.


I can't see my Facebook Page in the list


Facebook changed recently their login system and it's impacting administrators handling many different pages. Here is how to fix this.

After clicking on the "Connect/Reconnect with Instagram" button, you should arrive on the Facebook login system.

Click Edit Settings

Select your page

I changed my password


If you changed your password you need to relink Crisp with Instagram . Follow the step "Link Crisp with Instagram" just above.

I have connected the plugin but Instagram messages are not landing in Crisp, why?


Go to Facebook and login as the page you connected the Instagram account to.
Go to your page settings



In settings go to Linked Accounts > Instagram
If your account is not connected, or the wrong account is connected, please connect the correct Instagram account.



Go back to Settings then New Pages experience > Advanced Messaging
