Can't find the account you're looking for?
Have you connected your Facebook/Instagram account to TINT? To do this, click on add account in the dropdown on SELECT ACCOUNT.
For Facebook, you will need to sign into Facebook or it will pick up your Facebook account that you are already signed into. You will need to authorize the following:
TINT is requesting to: create and manage content on your Page
Click Continue and the account should appear in the dropdown list.
For Instagram, you need to sign in to Facebook or it will pick up your Facebook account that you are already signed into and ask you to continue, this will come up with:
TINT will receive your name and profile picture. This doesn't let TINT post to Facebook without your permission
By clicking continue, this will authorize it. Then it will say to Connect Instagram and will require you to log in. This will not auto-pick up the account you are signed in to as it needs to verify one of the Instagram accounts that are connected to the Facebook Page(s). Once, you have logged into your Instagram account, it will ask you to authorize the following:
- Which Instagram Business account do you want to use with TINT? Keep them selected or unselect which ones you don't want to use or appear in and click Next.
- What Businesses do you want to use with TINT. Keep them selected or unselect which ones you don't want to use or appear in TINT and click Next
- What Pages do you want to use with TINT? This is all the pages that you want to authorize, select/unselect what pages you want to be visible in TINT and click Next
- What is TINT allowed to do? These should be all switched on as yes (blue switch to the right-hand side). You can change this to no but we might not be able to pick up certain feeds or information if switch any of these off.
Click done and your account will appear in the dropdown.
If you believe that the account is already connected to TINT and you can't see it listed or you receive an error message saying Account Already Exists when click on Add Account, check that you are logged into the correct account and if you are, that you have the correct permissions on your TINT account to see this social account.

I can select my account but I am unable to click anything in the SELECT USERNAME.
There are a few reasons why this could be happening:
To check if you are an admin of the Facebook Page, there are two different ways to see depending on how this was set up originally.
Via Facebook
- Click on this link to bring up a list of all the pages that you manage. Here you will be able to see if you have a page role but you need to be admin/page owner for it to link correctly to TINT. If you do not see the page you are looking for, this means that you don't have a role on the page. Ask the page owner or admin to add you to the page you need to use on TINT.
- If the link doesn't work, you will have to switch on the page that you want to check. Click on the profile circle in the right-hand corner and click see all pages if you don't see the page that you need. Click on the page.
