Quick answer

Instagram auto reply answers customers' direct messages instantly: welcomes, prices, availability and orders. You need a professional Instagram account connected to a platform that supports Instagram messaging, then you write ready-made replies or switch on an AI agent that understands customer questions. In Modeer 360, Instagram messages appear alongside WhatsApp and Messenger in one inbox.

01Why fast replies on Instagram matter

An Instagram customer sees a product in a post or story and sends "Price?" in that same moment. If the reply is slow, they keep scrolling and forget. Auto reply catches that moment, turning a like into a conversation and the conversation into an order.

02What do you need to set up auto reply?

  1. A professional Instagram account: a business or creator account.
  2. A connection to a Meta Business account: together with a Facebook page.
  3. A platform that supports Instagram messaging: such as Modeer 360.
  4. Ready-made replies or an AI agent: trained on your products and prices.

04From auto reply to an AI agent

Ready-made replies are great for repeat questions, but Instagram customers phrase things in many ways: "How much?", "What does it cost?", "Price please." An AI agent understands all of these, answers from your catalog and confirms the order inside the chat.

05Instagram and WhatsApp in one place

Many customers start on Instagram and continue on WhatsApp. When both channels are in one inbox, your team member sees both conversations in the same customer profile, and the customer never has to ask the same question twice.
