Hello Botpress Team,
I am facing a persistent issue while trying to connect my Instagram Professional account with Botpress.
Error:
“Authentication failed! Please try again”
Request failed with status code 500
Issue Details:
- Instagram account is Professional type.
- Instagram is properly connected with a Facebook Page.
- I have full admin access in Meta Business Suite.
- Messaging permissions are enabled.
- Two-factor authentication is enabled.
- Conversation routing permissions are enabled.
- I already removed/revoked permissions from:
- ManyChat
- Interakt
- Jotform
- Cleared browser cache and cookies.
- Tried Incognito Mode.
- Tried different Botpress accounts.
- Tried reconnecting multiple times.
- Tried different browsers and devices.
Important Observation:
Previously, Botpress connected successfully once, but at that time the AI was not trained properly. After disconnecting and reconnecting, the integration started failing permanently with Status Code 500.
I suspect there may be:
- webhook conflicts,
- stale OAuth tokens,
- Meta permission cache conflicts,
- or conversation routing ownership issues between Meta and previous automation platforms.
At this point, the Instagram account still cannot connect with Botpress even after removing old integrations.
Please help with:
1. Exact resolution steps
2. Any hidden Meta permissions/webhook cleanup required
3. Whether this is a Meta-side OAuth issue
4. Or arrange a support/Zoom session if possible
This issue is blocking our AI automation setup completely.
Help me please
Thank you.
Sahil
