Instagram channel
Instagram DMs, comments, and story mentions in the same inbox as WhatsApp
Connect a professional Instagram account with Meta login. An automation can start from a direct message, a comment on a new post, or a story mention.

Example chat
VisitorComments PRICE on a post.
Mark360.aiSends the price list as a DM.
The Instagram screens
Empty states stay empty until the account is connected. Nothing on these shots is simulated customer data.
Pick the event, then the keywords
Incoming DMs, comments on new posts, or story mentions. Match any keyword or a list you type.

Activity after you connect
Follower, reach, and automation numbers live on the Instagram analytics view once the account is linked.

The honest empty state
Before Meta login, the inbox says Instagram is not connected. That is the screen a new workspace should see.
What connecting actually changes
You grant the permissions Meta asks for. Instagram then sits next to WhatsApp in the inbox. The Free plan includes Instagram automation. Scale, at $19/month billed quarterly, adds room for more triggers, seats, and campaigns.
This page does not claim a follower-growth number. Comment and story triggers start a conversation. They do not buy followers.
Connect, then write one trigger
01
Use a professional account
Meta login is for a professional Instagram account, not a personal one you cannot connect.
02
Grant permissions
The docs describe the connect as taking a few minutes. Previous Instagram app chats are not imported as a history you can search.
03
Write one keyword
Start with a comment keyword you already use in captions, such as a price or a city.
04
Read the reply in the inbox
The DM and your WhatsApp chats share assignment, mentions, and resolve.
