Do I need an Instagram Business account?
+
Yes. IotaBot connects to an Instagram Business account through Meta’s official sign-in. Personal accounts cannot use Meta’s messaging API.
Can IotaBot reply to Instagram comments automatically?
+
Yes. You set rules per post — exact phrases, AI-matched context, or reply to everything — and choose whether it replies on the comment, sends a DM, or both.
Is Instagram DM automation allowed by Meta?
+
IotaBot uses Meta’s official Instagram messaging API and follows its rules, including only messaging people who contacted you within the last 24 hours.
Can my team take over a conversation?
+
Yes. Any DM can be handed to a live agent in real time, and the agent sees the full conversation history.
Does the Instagram chatbot use the same knowledge as my website chat?
+
Yes. Instagram DMs run through the same knowledge base and tools as your website widget, so answers stay consistent across channels.
