Instagram is OnSet Digital’s main channel for appointment setting. You connect in the app with Meta Connect (Facebook Login). You never paste your Instagram password, and you don’t set up Meta Developer apps yourself — OnSet hosts that.
OnSet Digital stores encrypted Meta page tokens, not Instagram passwords.
After connecting, run Inbox → Sync once so conversations appear in OnSet.
