Advice and answers from the Pygma Team

Scroll down while on your dashboard to generate content with yourself in some preset scenarios - from LinkedIn headshots to romantic photos perfect for Tinder.

Tap one of them to get 8 photos of you (or anyone else!). Then, you will be asked if you want to generate photos with your face in them or anyone else. Choose "My Digital twin" if you want the photos for yourself, or choose "Another person" to surprise your friends and family.

The generation will start immediately! You can find your photos on your Profile page. Feel free to leave the generation page - it can take a bit of time to generate.

Happy creating!

‍

When you create a post or a video, you can see AI recommendation bubbles next to your prompt field.

After clicking one of them, a relevant prompt appears in your prompt field. Then, you can just click Generate to get content ready to be posted!

AI recommendations are based on the information you gave Pygma about yourself. So for them to work as intended, make sure to fill in all your profile info.

You can do it either by clicking the Gear icon next to AI recommendations or by clicking Edit profile in your settings.

Make sure that your Category and Tags fields are filled. You can enter all the relevant topics you want into the Tags field - it all will be taken into account by our AI recommendations.

If you don't see your recommendations change after editing your profile, don't worry! It may take around 5 minutes. Each recommendation is made for your unique case, which takes some time.

Caution: changing your Tags will also change your News recommendations, making them more relevant to your topics of interest.

Happy creating!

2. Tap on the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) in the upper right corner of the app.

2. Head to Settings and Privacy.
3. Scroll down to For professionals and tap Account type and tools.

  5. Tap Continue until you reach the category page. Select a category.

  6. Select creator or business. Your Instagram account will be converted immediately.

Alternatively, if your Instagram is linked to a Facebook page, you can switch your Instagram from personal to Business or Creator from your Facebook page. Here’s how to do it:

2. Click on the Page that you'll link to your Instagram account, or create a new Page if you don't already have one.

If this didn’t help

If both requirements are met but you still can’t connect your Instagram, you should check if you have full control over the Facebook page and your permissions.

How to check your admin settings in Facebook

You need to make sure your have full control over the Facebook page. You can do that in two places: in the Professional Dashboard or in the Meta Business Suit. The instructions below will give you a hint on which option you have.

Checking settings in the Professional Dashboard

1. In Facebook, open your Page and make sure you’re logged in as your Facebook Page (not your profile).
2. Click Professional Dashboard in the menu on the left.
3. Click Page Access in the menu on the left.
4. Next, click your name and a popup will appear. It should say, "This person has full control."

NOTE:

• If it doesn't say “This person has full control" next to your Facebook profile name, it means your permissions need to be adjusted. It can be done by someone who has full access. Or, perhaps you have another Facebook profile that is linked to the page.
• If the list doesn't show your Facebook profile name, you're probably using Meta Business Suite and you’ll need to check the settings there (see below).

Checking settings in Meta Business Suite

1. Go your Meta Business Suite Settings.
2. If you land on a page with multiple Business Suite accounts, first click on the account for the Facebook Page you’re trying to access.

NOTE: If you don’t see the Business Suite account that you’re looking for, you aren’t properly setup as an admin with Full Control within that Business Suite, and you’ll want to ask someone else on your team to lend a hand.

  3. There are two places to check for permissions.

First, click Pages under the "Accounts" section and look for your name on the list. You’ll want to ensure the setting Full control: Everything is toggled on. 4. Next, navigate to Users section and click on People. Make sure that your name is added to the list, and that you have the setting Full control: Everything is toggled on.

How to check your permissions

The first and foremost thing to do is to make sure you have all the permissions between Facebook and Pygma. When you're connecting Instagram, you can view the list of permissions granted to Pygma (these all are required by Meta). It's important to grant all permissions for all Pages (even those that aren't connected to Pygma). If permissions are missing, it can prevent us from finding the channels you manage.

1. Log into the Facebook personal profile that has admin access with Full Control on the Facebook Page.
2. Click on the small drop-down arrow at the top right of your screen and then click Settings & privacy > Settings.
3. Head to Business Integrations in Facebook.

NOTE: Please note that these settings are found on your Facebook profile and not within the Facebook Page settings, so you must be using Facebook as your profile to access them.

  4. Find Pygma in the list and choose View and Edit.

  5. Scroll down to the list of Pages and ensure that ALL boxes are selected (you may need to click See all pages to expand the list of pages and see the ones that need permissions to be granted). From here, tick all of the empty boxes.

NOTE: If you don’t see any individual Pages listed in the following screens, it means that you’ve previously granted Pygma permissions to access all Pages, which is the ideal setup.

  6. After selecting all of your accounts, click Save.
