Hi Experts,
I'm new to Hootsuite, and I just got the Pro account.
I added Twitter & LinkedIn flawlessly, and already setup my streams and posted.
I added also Facebook by leaving the default selections, except for unchecking my Personal Profile, my Groups, as well unchecking 2 out of the 3 Pages that I manage.  
The page, IWSCC, is the  one that I left checked, is the one that I want to manage through Hootsuite, and added the stream to my dashboard.
The issue that I am having with is with Instagram, hich I know has to go through the FB page. I keep getting:
...But, when I click on the link "Link Instagram to this Page", I see,...
... Meaning, that Instagram IS connected to the IWSCC FB Page.
I also think that Instagram is a Business account, as under Switch profile, I only see Personal or Creator as choices.
So, why can't connect Instagram to Hootsuite?
Thanks!

Adding Instagram to Hootsuite

A social networking service is a platform to build social networks or relations among people who share similar interests, activities, backgrounds or real-life connections. A social network service consists of a representation of each user (often a profile), his or her social links, and a variety of additional services such as career services. Social network sites are web-based services that allow individuals to create a public profile, create a list of users with whom to share connections, and view and cross the connections within the system. Social networking sites allow users to share ideas, pictures, posts, activities, events, and interests with people in their network. Other popular services include Google+, LinkedIn, Instagram, Reddit, Pinterest, Vine and Tumblr.

Social Networking

Facebook is an online social networking service. After registering to use the site, users can create a user profile, add other users as "friends", exchange messages, post status updates and photos and receive notifications when others update their profiles. Additionally, users may join common-interest user groups, organized by workplace, school or college, or other characteristics, and categorize their friends into lists such as "People From Work" or "Close Friends". Notable features include a News Feed, Friends, a Wall, a Timeline, the Like button, Messages and an inbox, Notifications and Networks and groups.
