Reply to Instagram DMs with your team

Instagram Business DMs land in the same inbox as WhatsApp and Messenger, answered by AI or your agents -- no separate Instagram app to check.

How it works

  1. 01

    Connect your Instagram business account

    Link the Facebook Page tied to your Instagram Business or Creator account through Facebook Login, right from the dashboard.

  2. 02

    DMs land in the same inbox

    Instagram messages show up alongside WhatsApp and Messenger, in the same conversation list.

  3. 03

    Answered by AI or your agents

    The AI is directed to answer from your business material, but it can still get things wrong -- an agent can take over any time a customer asks to talk to a person.

What you can do

One inbox with WhatsApp & Messenger
Instagram DMs land in the same conversation list as your other channels -- no separate app just for Instagram.
AI is directed to answer from your business material
Assign a chatbot you've already created to your Instagram account from Channel Setup, so incoming DMs get answered from your business material -- the AI can still be wrong, and you can take over any time.
Hands off to a human whenever the customer asks
The moment a customer says something like "talk to human" or "connect me to an agent", the AI stops and the conversation waits for an agent. Agents can also take over any time.
Customer name & profile photo copied automatically
A new contact from an Instagram DM is created automatically, with the customer's name and profile photo pulled in automatically whenever Instagram allows it.
One account, one workspace
An Instagram account already connected to another workspace cannot be connected twice -- so its DMs never get split between two places.

FAQ

Which Instagram accounts can I connect?

A professional Instagram account (Business or Creator) that is already linked to a Facebook Page. You connect it through Facebook Login from the dashboard, not with Instagram credentials directly.

How are Meta accounts (WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook) charged?

The first account on each platform is free: one Instagram, one Facebook, one WhatsApp. The second and later accounts on the same platform connect as inactive; once the workspace owner or an admin activates one, Rp30,000 per account per month is charged upfront and then every 30 days. An account used for both the inbox and posting counts once.

Is there a time limit for replying to an Instagram DM?

Normally 24 hours from the customer's last message. Up to 7 days, replies can still be sent but are tagged as a human-agent reply; past 7 days, Meta rejects the send.

Can the AI give wrong answers?

It can. The AI is steered to answer from the knowledge base you fill in, but it can still get things wrong, especially when that material is incomplete. You can always see which replies came from the AI and take over the conversation at any time.

Can I connect one Instagram account to more than one workspace?

No. One Instagram account can only be attached to one workspace. If the account is already connected elsewhere, disconnect it there first, then connect it here.
