How it works

Connected through your Facebook Page.

Instagram opens DMs to business tools through the Facebook Page your account is linked to. Keloa receives only the access token Meta issues for that Page.

  1. Link your account to a Page

    Make sure your Instagram professional account (Business or Creator) is linked to a Facebook Page you manage, in Meta Business Suite.

  2. Continue with Meta

    In Keloa, go to Integrations, then Instagram, and continue with Meta. Pick the Page and the Instagram account to connect.

  3. Pick the AI agent

    Choose the AI agent that answers DMs on this account, or let your team answer every message.

  4. Send a test DM

    Message the account from another Instagram account. The DM shows up in your Keloa inbox within seconds.

What the AI agent does

Your best seller, in every DM.

Instagram DMs are often buying questions. Your AI agent answers them from your own content, fast.

Answers inside the window

The AI agent replies within 24 hours of the customer's last message, the window Instagram allows for automated replies.

Remembers the conversation

Before every answer the AI agent reads the DM thread so far: the latest messages word for word and a summary of everything earlier, story replies included.

Grounded in your knowledge

Product, sizing and shipping questions are answered from your website, documents and Q&A pairs, with the sources it used, in the customer's language.

Hands off to your team

When the AI agent can't help, or a customer asks for a person, the DM moves to Open in the inbox and a teammate answers from Keloa, without opening Instagram.

Long answers stay readable

Long replies are split into several messages that arrive in order, the way people write in DMs.

CSAT in the DM

When a conversation is solved, Keloa can send a short satisfaction survey in the same chat.

Good to know

What to expect on Instagram.

DMs, not comments

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Which Instagram accounts can I connect to Keloa?

Instagram professional accounts, Business or Creator, that are linked to a Facebook Page you manage. You connect them in Keloa under Integrations, then Instagram, by continuing with Meta and picking the Page. Personal Instagram accounts can't be connected, because Instagram only opens DMs to business tools for professional accounts.

How long can the AI agent reply to an Instagram DM?

Instagram allows automated replies for 24 hours after the customer's last message, and Keloa's AI agent answers inside that window. After it, the AI agent stops and the reply box locks. If you turn on the extended reply window (needs Meta's Human Agent approval), teammates can follow up for up to 7 days. A new message from the customer opens the window again.

Do story replies and comments come into Keloa?

Replies to your stories arrive as DMs, so they land in the Keloa inbox like any other message. Comments on posts and reels stay in Instagram: Keloa handles direct messages only, so your team keeps moderating comments in Instagram itself.

Does the AI agent remember earlier messages in an Instagram DM?

Yes. Before every answer Keloa's AI agent reads the DM thread so far, the latest messages word for word and a summary of everything earlier, together with your knowledge base. Replies to your stories arrive as DMs in the same thread, so a question about a story is answered with the rest of the chat in view.

Which Keloa plans include Instagram?

Instagram DMs are included on Keloa's Growth (€49/month), Business and Scale plans, together with Facebook Messenger. Starter doesn't include them. AI replies on Instagram use the same monthly reply credits as every other channel.
