Instagram DMs in the team inbox
Inbound Direct messages from a connected professional account show up beside WhatsApp chats. Assign an owner, add an internal note, and reply without sharing the Instagram password.
Instagram DMs, Comments, Team Inbox & Agent Replies
Ominiflow connects a professional Instagram account so DMs and comments land in the same team inbox as WhatsApp. Agents reply with assignment and history, or an AI agent answers routine questions and hands the thread to a person when it should.
Stop running Instagram from one shared login. DMs and comments come into a team inbox next to WhatsApp. Agents reply with the full thread, or an AI agent handles the first answer and passes the chat when a human is needed.

Key Capabilities
Comment replies
Keyword and rule replies on post comments, plus a private reply into Direct when the buyer should leave the public thread. Complaints and refunds stay with a person.
One queue for the team
Support, sales, and the founder do not each open the Instagram app. Collision handling keeps two people from answering the same DM.
AI agent replies
An agent grounded in your FAQs and catalog answers price, size, and availability questions on Instagram, then hands off with the transcript when the buyer asks for a person or the intent is a refund, order, or payment.
Same customer, WhatsApp for the close
Discovery can stay on Instagram. OTP, COD confirmation, shipping, and payment links still run on WhatsApp Cloud API in the same workspace.
Official Meta connection
The account is a professional Instagram account on Meta’s messaging APIs — not a scraped login or an unofficial Android panel.
Popular Use Cases
D2C “price please”
Comment or DM asks for price or size. The agent or a saved reply answers, then a human closes the order on WhatsApp.
Shared support desk
Several agents cover Instagram DMs and WhatsApp from one inbox, with assignment instead of a founder phone.
After-hours cover
The AI agent replies overnight on Instagram and queues anything it should not answer for the morning shift.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Ominiflow manage Instagram DMs?
Yes. Connect a professional Instagram account and inbound Direct messages appear in the Ominiflow team inbox. Agents reply there, with assignment and history, alongside WhatsApp chats.
Can you reply to Instagram comments from the inbox?
Yes. Comment events can get a public reply or a private reply into Direct. Use rules for predictable questions such as price and size. Send complaints, refunds, and orders to a human agent.
Do AI agents reply on Instagram?
Yes. An AI agent can answer routine Instagram DMs and comment follow-ups from your FAQs and catalog, then hand the thread to a person in the same inbox when the buyer asks for a human or the topic is payment, refund, or an order exception.
Is this the same as the Instagram app inbox?
No. The Instagram app is one login. A team inbox gives each person their own access, assignment, notes, and an audit of who replied. The customer still sees your Instagram account.
Should orders and OTP stay on Instagram?
No. Use Instagram for discovery DMs and comments. Run OTP, COD confirmation, shipping updates, and payment links on WhatsApp Cloud API. Both can sit in the same Ominiflow workspace.
What do I need to connect Instagram?
A professional Instagram account linked to your Meta business portfolio, and permission for Ominiflow to read and reply to messages and comments. Personal accounts and unofficial “multi-login” tools are not this product.
