If you are getting an error when trying to Accept the New Instagram Permissions, then you may well need to adjust your Instagram "privacy settings."
Instagram has added brand new privacy settings for your third party / partner tools (which they call "connected apps."
See screenshots of the process below. If permissions for your "connected apps" is not enabled, you will get an error code 200 with subcode 2534041 and the following details "The account owner has disabled access to instagram direct messages" will be returned.
