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.

  • 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

  1. 01

    Use a professional account

    Meta login is for a professional Instagram account, not a personal one you cannot connect.

  2. 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.

  3. 03

    Write one keyword

    Start with a comment keyword you already use in captions, such as a price or a city.

  4. 04

    Read the reply in the inbox

    The DM and your WhatsApp chats share assignment, mentions, and resolve.

Three-step setup
Three setup steps: pick the post or reel, set the comment keyword, then write the public reply and the private DM
