Connect Instagram for DM automation

See it in the app

Free account. No card.

In short

  • You need an Instagram Business or Creator account.
  • Connect it once in Settings, and say yes to what Instagram asks.
  • Automation is on every plan, Free too.

Steps

  1. Open Settings and find Social accounts.
  2. Next to Instagram, click Connect an Instagram professional account.
  3. A popup opens on Instagram. Log in.
  4. Allow the permissions Instagram asks for.
  5. Open Automation in the menu on the left.
  6. Look at Accounts. Each account has three dots: plan, Instagram permissions, ready to send.
  7. Is a dot red? Click Grant Instagram permissions. Instagram opens in a small window. Tick both permissions.
  8. All three dots green? You are ready to set up your first automation.

Good to know

  • See Turn on automation next to your account in Settings? Click it. That account still needs the permissions.
  • A personal account will not connect. In the Instagram app, go to Settings, then Account type, and switch.
  • Connecting only works on sprkly.app.
  • Each plan includes people a month per account: 10 on Free, 100 on Creator, 1,000 on Power.
