Message Arrives A DM, Story reply, or mention, any time, day or night. AI Agent Resolves It Answers from your knowledge base. AI Actions updates the order, like a shipping address, through an audited API call. Agent Picks Up with Context AI Copilot has the full history ready, so the agent addresses it quickly instead of reading the thread first. Comments convert to conversations for tracking, but don't get an AI Agent handover, welcome message, or auto-close. They stay agent-handled. Core Capabilities ## Everything Your Team Needs From Instagram Customer Support Software - Story Replies & Mentions - Live Chat DMs - Comments as Conversations - Multi-Account Support - Auto-Assignment ### Every Story Interaction, Captured When a customer replies to your Story or mentions your business in theirs, it lands in the same inbox as a live chat, turned on with a toggle in the account's configuration when you connect Instagram. ![Instagram story reply dashboard for managing customer conversations and social media support](https://www.bolddesk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Story-reply-1024x568.webp) ### Direct Messages, Live in Chat As Instagram DM software, BoldDesk turns every incoming Direct Message into a live chat conversation, the same way Live Chat and WhatsApp do. Agents can link a ticket to any conversation for longer-term tracking, without turning the chat itself into a different object. ![Instagram direct message dashboard for managing customer conversations and support requests.](https://www.bolddesk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/DM-1024x568.webp) ### Comments Convert to Conversations Comments on your posts and Reels are captured as conversations too. They don't get a welcome message, AI Agent handover, or auto-close. Agents reply to them directly. ![Instagram comments dashboard for managing customer conversations and social media support](https://www.bolddesk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Comments-1024x568.webp) ### Multiple Accounts, One Workspace Connect and manage several Instagram Business accounts from one BoldDesk workspace, each mapped to its own brand and agent group. ![Instagram account management dashboard for managing multiple business accounts and integrations](https://www.bolddesk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Multiple-Acounts-1024x568.webp) ### Auto-Assignment DMs, Story replies, mentions, and comments all route to the right agent automatically through Auto-Assignment, a block inside Chat Workflows. Rules can be scoped by brand and by Instagram account, with no limit on how many you create. ![Instagram customer support workflow with automated ticket assignment and department-based routing](https://www.bolddesk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Auto-Assign-1024x568.webp) Beyond The Inbox ## What BoldDesk Adds to Instagram Support Meta Business Suite is where you post and message. It doesn't triage, route, or report on any of it. That's the gap BoldDesk closes. - Story replies, mentions, and DMs all land as one live conversation type, no toggling between Instagram's own inbox tabs to catch each kind - Multiple Instagram Business accounts route to the right brand and agent automatically, instead of one shared login per account - AI Agent resolves repeat DM and Story questions on its own, not just a canned auto-reply - Comments get tracked as a conversation too, so nothing quietly falls through - Any conversation can turn into a trackable ticket the moment it needs longer follow-up - The customer's full history, including email, live chat, WhatsApp, and every other channel, sits alongside their Instagram conversation, in the same workspace Meta Business Suite gets the message in front of you. BoldDesk is what turns it into a resolved conversation with a record behind it. ## Reply to Instagram From Your Phone Download the BoldDesk agent app for iOS or Android to manage Instagram on the move. Push notifications on web and mobile mean nothing waits until you're back at your desk. ![BoldDesk mobile support platform displaying customer conversations and messaging in a unified inbox.](https://www.bolddesk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Help-Desk-Access-7-1024x655.webp) - Mobile App: stay connected on the go, never miss a customer query, for iOS and Android. - Chat SDK: embeds just the live chat widget inside your own iOS or Android app, with push notifications.

BoldDesk's Instagram customer support software connects your Instagram Business account to your customer support platform, working as Instagram live chat software so agents can manage Direct Messages, Story replies, Story mentions, and comments alongside every other channel instead of switching to Meta Business Suite. Does an Instagram DM or comment create a ticket in BoldDesk? No. An Instagram DM, Story reply, or Story mention arrives as a live chat conversation, the same way live chat does. A comment also converts to a conversation. Agents can create and link a ticket to any of them at any point for longer-term tracking, but the conversation itself stays a chat. Does BoldDesk capture Instagram Story replies and mentions, not just DMs? Yes. Story replies and mentions land in the same inbox as a Direct Message, turned on with a toggle in the account's configuration when you connect Instagram. Are Instagram comments handled the same way as DMs? Comments convert to conversations too, but they don't get a welcome message, AI Agent handover, or auto-close the way DMs, Story replies, and Story mentions do. Agents reply to them directly. Can AI automatically respond to customers on Instagram? Yes. AI Agent can resolve Instagram DM, Story reply, and Story mention conversations on its own, with AI Copilot assisting agents on any conversation that needs a human, and AI Actions handling backend updates like order or account changes. Can I message an Instagram customer who hasn't messaged first? No. Instagram's messaging policy limits replies to the window after a customer's last message, and BoldDesk follows that policy. There's currently no broadcast or proactive outbound messaging feature for Instagram, unlike WhatsApp and SMS. What does Instagram support cost with BoldDesk? Instagram support is included in every BoldDesk plan at no extra cost, from $99 per month for 5 agents to $1,799 per month for 100 agents, with a 15-day free trial. ## Give Instagram a Real Place in Your Support Workspace Every channel and SSO are included from the first plan, with no add-ons required.
