Instagram Direct

Connect your Instagram account so your agent answers direct messages. You sign in with Instagram, so you don't need a Facebook page.

Who can do this: owners and admins.

Before you start

  • An Instagram professional account (business or creator).

1 Open Channels

In the sidebar, under Connect, select Channels, then select Connect Instagram.

2 Sign in to Instagram

Sign in to the account you want answered, then approve the permissions.

3 Check it connected

Your @username appears on the Instagram Direct card. Send a DM from another account to test it.

If something goes wrong

Instagram won't let me connect. Switch the account to professional in the Instagram app, then try again.
