How to automate Instagram DMs for your business

Instagram DMs are where customers ask about pricing, hours, and bookings—but replying 24/7 is impossible manually. Here is how to automate Instagram DMs with AI that sounds like your brand.

To automate Instagram DMs: connect your Instagram Business account to an AI platform like Stronos via Meta APIs, upload your FAQs and policies to a knowledge base, enable DM automation, and monitor conversations with human handoff for complex cases.

What you get

  • Why automate Instagram DMs

    78% of customers expect a reply within an hour. Automation ensures every DM gets a helpful first response.

  • What to automate first

    Start with FAQs—hours, pricing, location, and booking intake—before complex sales conversations.

  • AI vs flow builders

    AI knowledge-base bots handle open-ended questions. Flow builders only cover pre-scripted paths.

  • Stay Meta-compliant

    Use official Meta Business messaging APIs—not unauthorized automation tools.
