**Note**: bridging to Facebook [Instagram](https://instagram.com) via this bridge is being [superseded by a new bridge - mautrix-meta](https://github.com/mautrix/facebook/issues/332). For now, the mautrix-instagram bridge continues to work, but the new [mautrix-meta-instagram bridge](./configuring-playbook-bridge-mautrix-meta-instagram.md) is better and more supported. Consider using that bridge instead of this one.
You may wish to look at `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-mautrix-instagram/templates/config.yaml.j2` and `roles/custom/matrix-bridge-mautrix-instagram/defaults/main.yml` to find other things you would like to configure.
You then need to start a chat with `@instagrambot:YOUR_DOMAIN` (where `YOUR_DOMAIN` is your base domain, not the `matrix.` domain).
Send `login YOUR_INSTAGRAM_EMAIL_ADDRESS YOUR_INSTAGRAM_PASSWORD` to the bridge bot to enable bridging for your instagram/Messenger account.
You can learn more here about authentication from the bridge's [official documentation on Authentication](https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/python/instagram/authentication.html).
