What is Instagram Automation?

Automating DMs, comment replies, and story interactions on Instagram via the Messaging API.

Instagram automation is the use of Meta's Instagram Messaging API to automatically handle direct messages, comment replies, and story interactions. It lets businesses respond instantly to DMs, run comment-to-DM campaigns, answer FAQs, and qualify leads on Instagram at scale.

Because Instagram is a major discovery and engagement channel, automating it captures interest that would otherwise be lost to slow manual replies. Automations respect Instagram's messaging policies, including windows for proactive messaging similar in spirit to WhatsApp's rules.

Combined with WhatsApp and Messenger, Instagram automation lets a brand serve customers wherever they engage, from a single platform.
