## 🔧 To bring in the OTHER accounts (the ~65 not showing)

The Graph API can ONLY see **Business/Creator** IG accounts that are **linked to a Facebook
Page**. Any account not showing above is in one of three states — here's the fix for each:

### A. Account is PERSONAL (most common gap)
Per account, in the Instagram app:
1. Settings → **Account type and tools** → **Switch to professional account**
2. Choose **Business** (or Creator)
3. When prompted, **link a Facebook Page** (create a bare Page if it has none —
   Pages are free and can be minimal)
4. Done. Re-run the audit (below) and it appears automatically.

### B. Account is Business/Creator but NOT page-linked
1. IG app → Settings → **Business tools and controls** → **Connect a Facebook Page**
2. Link it to a Page owned by one of these Business Managers:
   DesignerWallcoverings.com · Wallpaper Installers · Designer Wallcoverings

### C. Account is under a DIFFERENT Meta login / Business Manager
- Either move the Page into one of the 3 businesses above (Business Settings →
  add/transfer asset), OR mint a second token from that other login and we run a
  second audit against it.

### ❌ Cannot be reached by ANY token
A personal account you don't want to convert to Business can only be posted to via the
IG app directly, or an unofficial private-API tool (username/password login per account —
**bot-flag / account-lock risk**, not recommended for accounts you care about).

## Re-run the audit after converting a batch
Any browser (basic-auth admin):
`GET https://marketing.designerwallcoverings.com/api/channels/ig-audit`
→ returns the fresh `total` + full account list + which business each came from.
No re-token needed — the live long-lived token is permanent.

## Reality check
- 35 API-postable today is the real ceiling for the current token.
- Growing past 35 = a per-account **convert-to-Business + link-a-Page** action (yours to do
  in the IG app), then re-audit. There's no bulk API to convert accounts — Meta requires
  the per-account switch by design.
