Trust & Compliance

On the Official API

What You Can Do

Turn Engagement Into Conversations

Everything the Instagram Messaging API enables — comment-to-DM, story automation, a shared inbox, and chatbots — from one workspace tied to your CRM.

Comment-to-DM

Someone comments your keyword on a post or reel — they instantly get a private DM with the link, offer, or answer.

Story Reply Automation

Auto-respond to story replies and mentions, turning quick taps into real conversations and captured leads.

Auto-Reply & Chatbots

Greet, qualify, and answer DMs 24/7 with no-code flows that hand off to a human the moment it matters.

Shared Team Inbox

Every Instagram DM in one inbox your whole team can assign, reply to, and note — with full history and CRM context.

CRM Sync

Each DM becomes a contact in your CRM, so sales, support, and marketing all see the same Instagram history.

DM Analytics

Track automated replies, response time, and leads captured — so you can see which posts and flows drive conversations.

Comment-to-DM

Turn a Comment Into a Conversation

Post a reel, ask people to comment a keyword, and the moment they do they get a private DM with your link, offer, or answer — captured as a lead. It’s triggered by their own action, so it stays within Instagram’s rules.

  • Keyword triggers on any post or reel
  • Instant private DM reply
  • Public auto-reply to the comment too
  • Every lead saved to your CRM

Sample data · shared across your team

Story Replies & Engagement

Every Tap Back Is a Lead

Story replies and mentions are pure intent. Auto-respond, capture the contact, and keep the conversation going — instead of letting it vanish after 24 hours.

Story reply auto-responses

A tap-back triggers an instant, on-brand DM that starts a real conversation.

Mention & tag capture

When someone mentions you in their story, thank them and capture the lead.

Quick-reply menus

Offer tappable options so people self-serve answers without waiting on an agent.

CRM Sync

Every DM Becomes a Contact

Instagram conversations don’t stay stuck in the app. Each one creates or updates a contact in your CRM — so sales, support, and marketing share one timeline.

Auto-captured contacts

Handle, source post, and the first message logged the moment someone DMs.

One shared timeline

DMs sit beside WhatsApp, email, and deals, so the next person has full context.

Segments & tags

Tag and segment Instagram leads to follow up and retarget the right people.

Automation

Set a Trigger, Pick an Action

SocialHype watches your Instagram engagement and routes the right action the moment it happens — within Instagram’s messaging rules.

Data Security

Security That Keeps Your Account in Good Standing

Your Instagram account is protected at every layer — official API, how you authenticate, how data is stored, and who on your team can act on it.

Official Messaging API

Automation runs on Meta’s official Instagram Messaging API — not an unofficial bot that logs into your account and risks a ban.

OAuth via Meta

You connect your Instagram Professional account through Meta’s official login. We never see your password — only the access you explicitly grant.

Encrypted In Transit

Every message and credential moves over encrypted HTTPS/TLS between your workspace, our platform, and Meta’s APIs. Tokens are encrypted at rest.

Role-Based Access Controls

Decide who can view DMs, build flows, or manage the connection — permissions scoped per role and per team.

Opt-Out & Disconnection

Users can stop messages at any time and we honour it; you can disconnect your Instagram account from your workspace, or revoke access in Meta, instantly.

SocialHype’s use of the Instagram Messaging API follows Meta’s Messaging Platform policies and Platform Terms. See our Privacy Policy and Security page for full detail.

How SocialHype Uses Instagram Data

Only What You Connect. Nothing More

SocialHype only accesses the Instagram Professional account you connect through Meta’s official login, and uses its data solely to provide the messaging features you set up.

What we request access to

Send and manage messages on the Instagram Professional account you connect — DMs, comment replies, story replies, and messaging analytics. We request the minimum scope each feature needs — and you grant it explicitly through Meta’s official login before any data is accessed.

Data is used exclusively to

  • Send and receive DMs on the account you connect
  • Power a shared team inbox and conversation history
  • Run the comment-to-DM, story, and chatbot flows you set up
  • Sync contacts and conversations into your own CRM
  • Generate DM analytics and reports for you

SocialHype never

  • We do not sell Instagram or Meta user data — ever
  • We do not share your message data with third parties for their own use
  • We do not use your message content to train generalized AI/ML models
  • We do not message users who have not engaged or who have opted out
  • We do not access anything beyond the Instagram account you authorize
Engagement, Consent & Deletion

Built to Keep You Compliant

Instagram’s rules protect people — and your account. SocialHype builds them in, so you only message those who engaged, the right way.

Engagement-based

Automated DMs are triggered by a user’s own comment, reply, or message — not cold outreach.

24-hour window

Free-form replies within 24h of a user message; the human-agent tag for longer support windows.

Easy opt-out

Every flow respects opt-out and blocks, so people only hear from you when they want to.

Within Meta policy

Built on the Messaging API and the Platform Terms — so your account stays in good standing.

Your data, yours to remove

Disconnect your Instagram account from your workspace at any time — access stops immediately and stored tokens are removed. You can also request full deletion of connected data, processed within 30 days.

Still have a question? Talk to us →

Yes. SocialHype connects through Meta’s official Instagram Messaging API after you authorize it with Facebook Login. It is not an unofficial bot that logs into your account — so your account stays in good standing and automations are reliable and policy-compliant.

Yes. You need an Instagram Professional (Business or Creator) account linked to a Facebook Page. You connect it through Meta’s official login — the account and its audience always belong to you.

Yes — that’s comment-to-DM. When someone comments your chosen keyword on a post or reel, the API can send them a private reply (a DM) with your link, offer, or answer. It’s triggered by their own action, which keeps it within Instagram’s policies.

Yes. Instagram DMs land in a shared team inbox where multiple agents can assign, reply, and add internal notes, with full conversation and CRM history on every contact — instead of one person on a phone.

Messages and credentials are encrypted in transit over HTTPS/TLS and access tokens are encrypted at rest, with role-based access over who can see or send. You can disconnect your Instagram account from your workspace at any time, or revoke access in Meta’s settings — which stops all access immediately.

Turn Instagram Into a Sales Channel

Connect your Instagram account in minutes — comment-to-DM, auto-replies, and a shared inbox on the official Messaging API. You authorize the access, and you can disconnect anytime.
