# Instagram Integration

We understand the significance of Social Media for your business! Therefore, this article will assist you in adding your *Online Client Scheduling* link to your Instagram account.

***There are two different ways you can accomplish this!***

The very first step to both these is pulling up your **OCS URL (browser link)** in another tab/window on your device or writing it down:

**Manage** > **Online Settings** > **OCS URL (browser link)**

![Instagram Integration Online Settings](/files/48e13e27d947da2c9a694610f31e316ac8f25475)

The first setup process option is recommended to allow clients to schedule directly through their Instagram app.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

## Go to your business Instagram profile page

Click **Edit Profile**.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Add your OCS URL

In the **Website** field, copy & paste or type your OCS URL (browser link).

![Website info](/files/1da763df9b512f6e32283c2483df57e93aefcc1b)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Update your bio

Somewhere in the **Bio** field, you'll want to include verbiage directing your clients to "Book now using the link below".
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Complete the setup

Click **Done** in the top right corner.

*If you are using a computer, the button will say **Submit**.*
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Once a client clicks on the link on your Instagram page, it will open another tab *within* Instagram for them to log in and schedule.

## Second setup option

**If you already have a business website URL you would like to keep as a clickable link on your Instagram page, you'll want to use the second setup option.**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

## Go to your business Instagram profile page

Click **Edit Profile**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Add your OCS URL to your bio

In the **Bio** field, you'll want to copy & paste or type your OCS URL (browser link) after some type of verbiage directing your clients to visit that URL in order to book online.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Complete the setup

Click **Done** *(or **Submit**)* once you are finished.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Alternatively, you can copy & paste or type your simplified URL link (Web Page URL) in the Bio field when completing the second integration option.

This way your clients don't need to type some much!

Your simplified URL is set up by you and found within:

**Manage** > **Web Page** > **URL(link)**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.rosysalonsoftware.com/online-client-scheduling/instagram-integration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
