Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an Instagram Business or Creator account?
Yes, you need an Instagram Professional account (either Business or Creator) connected to a Facebook Page. This is required by Meta's Messaging API. Personal accounts cannot use the Instagram Messaging API.
Can the bot reply to story mentions and reel comments?
The bot handles DMs that come from story replies. Direct story mentions and comment replies have limited API support — Chatloom works within Meta's current API capabilities and updates as new features become available.
Will the bot sound natural in Instagram DMs?
Yes. You configure the bot's personality to match your brand voice. The AI generates conversational, natural-sounding responses — not robotic templated messages. It adapts its tone based on the conversation context.
Is there a message limit on Instagram?
Meta's Instagram Messaging API has rate limits. Chatloom manages these automatically and provides usage tracking. Your Chatloom plan determines the total message volume across all channels.
Can I see Instagram conversations alongside other channels?
Yes, that's the power of Chatloom's unified inbox. Instagram DMs appear alongside WhatsApp, Telegram, email, and web chat conversations — all in one place.
How does Instagram DM automation help my business?
Instant responses to DMs increase conversion rates, reduce response times, and prevent lost leads. Businesses using AI-powered DM automation typically see 40-60% faster response times and significant support cost reduction.
