FAQ

Before you connect Instagram

How does the agent connect to Instagram?
You sign in with your own Instagram account. Permissions are limited to what the agent needs, the connection is health-checked, and you can revoke access from Instagram at any time.
What can the agent actually do in Instagram?
The page above lists the 36 actions currently available through the Instagram connection. The role determines which of those actions the agent may use, and write access is only enabled when the workflow needs it.
Is Instagram included in my plan?
Connections are priced per tool on top of the base plan. Some are included and some are premium. See pricing for how connection charges work.
How long until Instagram is ready?
Timing depends on the sign-in method, permissions and workflow being connected. We confirm the scope and setup plan before enabling the connection.
