What this helps you do
Put your business's booking link where Instagram visitors already are, and keep Bloomber's record of that setup up to date.
Before you start
- Your storefront is published and reachable at your connected domain — see Shop-owner activation checklist: getting fully set up on Bloomber.
- You have access to edit your business's Instagram profile.
- You have permission to manage integrations in Settings.
Steps
Step 1: Get your business's booking link
Your booking link is your storefront's live address with /book at the end — the same domain clients already use to reach you. If you're not sure it's live yet, confirm your storefront is published before continuing.
Step 2: Add the link to your Instagram bio
In Instagram, open your profile, and paste your booking link into your bio's website field (or your booking/action button, if your profile has one). This step happens entirely inside Instagram — Bloomber doesn't set your bio for you and can't see when it's done.
Step 3: Open Integrations in Bloomber
Go to Settings, then Integrations. Instagram is listed alongside your calendar, marketing, and review connections, showing as ready to mark once you've placed your link.
Step 4: Mark it configured
Select Mark configured on the Instagram row. This doesn't connect an Instagram account or give Bloomber any access to it — there's no login step for Instagram at all. It's a simple record that says "this is set up," so you and your team can see at a glance that this channel is covered.
What success looks like
- Instagram shows as configured in your Settings → Integrations list.
- Your booking link is live in your Instagram bio, so profile visitors can reach your booking page without you doing anything else.
Common problems
- Does this let Bloomber post to Instagram, or read my account? No. There's no Instagram login or API connection behind this — it's your booking link plus a status you set manually in Bloomber.
- I marked it configured, but then removed the link from Instagram — Bloomber has no way to see your actual Instagram bio, so the status won't update on its own. Select Disconnect on the Instagram row if you remove the link, so your Settings stay accurate.
- I'm a provider, not the business owner — where's my version of this? Providers manage their own booking link and their own Instagram status from their Station settings, separate from the business-level one described here. See Find and share your personal booking link.
- My booking link doesn't work when clients tap it — Confirm you copied the whole link and that your storefront is published, then see Troubleshoot booking-link and availability issues.
