Use Conversations to reply to Instagram direct messages

Now that you connected your Instagram professional account to Conversations, you can receive and answer your customers' Instagram direct messages directly in Conversations.
You can answer your customers' Instagram direct messages in the same way as in the chat and use the Saved replies, Agents, and Groups features.

To access all your messages from the different platforms, go to Conversations > All conversations.

There are four ways of recognizing an Instagram direct message in Conversations:

1. Instagram logo next to the sender name.
2. Instagram logo next to the time the message was sent.
3. Instagram logo at the top left of the sender profile picture.
4. Instagram logo and Instagram account name under the Channel section.
