Disconnect the integration

Important: Disconnecting stops data synchronization but preserves existing data in both systems.

  2. Find the Instagram Integration
  3. Click Disconnect and confirm

Data Impact: Existing data remains unchanged in both systems, but sync stops and Autohive loses Instagram API access.
