Channels 路 Instagram

Instagram DMs, handled like a team.

Story replies, mentions and direct messages land in the same inbox as everything else, answered inside Instagram's rules, by the right person.

Story replies & mentions

Catch every mention, not just DMs.

When someone replies to your story or mentions you, it becomes a conversation in Relayd, right next to their direct messages, so nothing gets missed.

  • Story replies and mentions become conversations
  • Reactions and shared posts, in context
  • One thread per customer, like every channel

The rules, handled

A 24-hour window, and up to 7 days for a person.

You can reply freely for 24 hours after someone messages. When a human needs longer to resolve something, the human-agent allowance extends that to 7 days. Instagram doesn't use WhatsApp-style templates, and you can only message people who messaged you first, Relayd keeps you inside the lines.

  • Free-form replies for 24 hours
  • Human agents get up to 7 days
  • No unsolicited outreach, they message first
