Instant Instagram
Connect Instant Instagram to your business.
Overview
Instant Instagram connects your Instagram Business account to Opsfly the fast way — no Meta developer app, no webhook setup, no manually copying access tokens or secrets. You just sign in.
Once connected, incoming Instagram DMs and comments on your posts and reels reach Opsfly the moment they happen — there's no delay and nothing to refresh.

:::tip Regular Instagram connections normally involve building a Meta developer app, registering a webhook, and manually retrieving an access token. Instant Instagram skips all of that — the whole connection happens in the popup. :::
Good to know
Instagram has some platform restrictions compared to Messenger — there are no buttons, product carousels, or file attachments, and replies can only be made to top-level comments (a reply to a reply gets automatically promoted to the top level by Instagram).
