To preview your effect in Instagram or attribute your published effect to an Instagram account, link your Instagram account with a personal Facebook account or Facebook Page. This Facebook account or Page is known as the owner.
When your Instagram account is linked to the effect owner, it’s listed as an available publisher in Meta Spark Hub. The publisher you choose in Meta Spark Hub controls the effect attribution. This means the account that’s shown next to the published effect wherever it’s displayed, used or shared.
If there’s no Instagram account linked to the effect owner, you can’t select an Instagram account as the Publisher in Meta Spark Hub:
You can only link your personal Facebook account (owner) to one Instagram account (publisher). If you only have one Instagram account and you want your personal Facebook account to be the effect owner:
Once your accounts are connected, you can choose the Instagram account connected to your personal Facebook account as the Publisher:
If you have a Facebook Page that you want to manage your effects, you can make this Page the effect owner. You do this by linking the Page to your Instagram account. This way all the Facebook Page admins and editors are able to access the effect's settings. You can only add one Instagram account to one Page.
Again, if you only have one Instagram account, it’s simple to set up. To connect your Instagram account to a Facebook Page, follow these steps in the Facebook Help Center.
Once your Page is connected to your Instagram account, you can choose the Instagram account that’s connected to your Facebook Page as the Publisher. In Meta Spark Hub, make sure that your Page is selected as the Owner in the dropdown menu.
If each of your effects belongs to different owners (for example, one effect belongs to Facebook Page A and one belongs to Facebook Page B), and each owner is connected to a different Instagram account, you can attribute different effects to different Instagram accounts. However, you can never attribute one single effect to more than one Instagram account. It’s best to attribute your effects to your main Instagram account, unless they’re localized in some way.
If you’re Instagram account isn’t showing, make sure you select the correct owner (Facebook account or Page) on the bottom left of the Meta Spark Hub home page. If there are several owners listed in the dropdown, make sure you select the correct one when you login, i.e the one that is linked to your Instagram account.
Your Facebook account must be linked to an active Instagram account. If your old Instagram account (account A) is disabled, you must relink your Facebook account to an active account (Instagram Account B). When you’ve relinked the new account, log back into Meta Spark Hub and select Instagram account B as the publisher.
No, you must have a Facebook account to use Meta Spark and Meta Spark Hub.
Ask the client to add you to a permissions group for their Facebook Page. The people added to this group are known as AR managers. AR managers can publish and manage the Page's effects using Meta Spark Hub.
In Meta Spark Hub, when you’re uploading your effect, click Save and then Test on Device in the top left. This action generates a test link. Open the link in the Instagram account of your choice or send to a friend’s Instagram account.
No, you can only log in to Meta Spark Hub and publish effects with your own Facebook account.
Once you publish an effect, you can’t update the owner of that effect. The only option in this situation is to remove the effects that your personal Facebook account manage and submit them again. When you submit the effects again, choose your Facebook Page as owner this time.
