Instagram Integration · Social-Commerce Conversations Straight to Your Agents

Instagram DMs are a brand's closest entry point to overseas consumers. SBK connects your business account via the Instagram Graph API, pulling DMs, Story replies and @-mentions together into the agent desk, with every conversation captured in the CRM customer profile.

Capabilities

Instagram Support Needs More Than Just Receiving Messages

From business-account binding, real-time DM ingestion and Story-interaction tracking to ad-driven conversation grouping, the full social-commerce support flow is covered

🔗 Business Account Authorization

Requires an Instagram business / creator account linked to a Facebook Page; once authorized, host and manage multiple accounts in one place

📩 Real-Time DM Send/Receive

Customer DMs sync instantly to the agent desk, with text, images, stickers and voice messages all rendered correctly

📸 Story Reply Merging

When a customer swipes up to reply to a Story, the Story thumbnail is carried into the conversation, so agents instantly know which content they're commenting on

📢 @-Mention Aggregation

When a customer @-mentions the brand account in post comments, it enters the workspace queue as a pending message, so nothing is missed

💰 Ad-Driven Conversation Grouping

Conversations from Click-to-Message ads are automatically tagged with the ad source, making ROAS easy to calculate

📇 CRM Customer Profile Capture

Instagram handle / user ID auto-profiled and aggregated with Facebook / WhatsApp / email customer identities

Conversation auto-attaches Story thumbnail / post / ad creative

Bring Story / Post Context into the Conversation

The biggest awkwardness in Instagram support is "the customer asks about 'the one you posted yesterday' and you don't know which one." SBK attaches the Story thumbnail, the commented post image and the ad creative to the conversation context, so agents get the first reply right.

  • Story replies carry the original Story's thumbnail within 24h
  • Post-comment @-mentions carry a reference to the post content
  • Ad conversations carry a preview of the ad creative
  • An interaction-history timeline avoids repeated pitching

Unified history timeline once merged · same tag / stage / owner

Instagram Customers Auto-Linked with Facebook / WhatsApp

The same customer might inquire on Instagram, order on WhatsApp and request an invoice by email. SBK CRM automatically merges identities via the trio of handle / email / phone, so the rep sees a complete customer rather than fragments.

  • Cross-channel customer identity aggregation and recognition
  • A unified history timeline once merged
  • Manually merge / split mis-identified identities
  • Unified tag, stage and owner fields
Use Cases

Who Uses Instagram Integration

DTC Cross-Border Brands

Lead DMs from Story / Reels ad creatives are grouped in one tap, with conversion and support response time measured by ad campaign.

Beauty / Fashion Live Commerce

A comment @-mentioning the brand about sizing under a livestream teaser post auto-enters the pending queue, with support's first reply within 5 minutes.

Local Dining / Homestays

Customers ask about hours and location via a Story, and the store manager replies straight from the SBK mobile app without switching to the IG app.

KOL / Personal-IP Monetization

A team takes over the creator's IG DMs, sorting them by partnership / after-sales / fan greetings, sparing the creator from being worn out by manual handling.
