In case you don’t know, this will be really honest. I am really committed to you guys doing more of that and less of opening these inboxes up and being like, “Eww. That is like what this stuff is for, right? That’s why we do what we do. In addition to loving my DM inbox on Instagram because I hear from great people, I’ve also had the ability to get into other DM inboxes and start conversations with people I really respect or people I really wanted to work with and cultivate relationships that converted into actual business or actual opportunities.

Not as often on my page, but definitely my personal profile. It’s one of the few places where I get quality messages, because more and more often, my Facebook inbox is filled with spam and cold pitches and gross messages, quite frankly. I love Instagram DMs a lot because I think they’re a really powerful way to shift from talking at people to talking with people.

To prevent messages from being sent but not delivered, the composer will be blocked once the messaging window is closed. Note that agents need add comments to an Instagram message from within the Zendesk Agent Workspace replies made directly in Instagram will not add a comment to the related ticket.Īs with Facebook Messenger, Instagram Direct allows a business only seven days to respond to the end user before the messaging window closes.
