Getting Started with Instagram Automation

Modified on Tue, 14 Nov, 2023 at 8:11 PM

Instagram Automation allows Instagram Businesses to use a chatbot to manage their Instagram DMs. An Instagram Business Account must be connected to a Facebook Page for Instagram automation to work.

Instagram Automation is available for the following accounts:

  • Any Instagram Professional account for a business.
  • Any Instagram Professional account for a Creator.

To manage Instagram Messages via ChatbotBuilder, Instagram business accounts must enable the connected tools to toggle under message control settings.

In your Instagram Account, go to Settings & Privacy > Messages and story replies Message controls > Connected Tools (turn on Allow access to Messages)





Connect your Instagram Professional Account to ChatbotBuilder

Go to Settings Channels > choose Instagram.




How to Build Instagram Flows

The process of building flows for all channels is the same. We recommend you always use the Omnichannel message type.
