At this time, HubSpot’s integration with Instagram only allows users to manage/schedule social posts, so you will need to log in to your app natively to manage these replies.
I would recommend creating an idea in our ideas forum to ensure this feature request is seen by our product team.
Please let me know if you have any other question.
It’s really bad that this does not exist. Should not even need a feature request Hubspot should be ahead of the curve here. You’re a marketing automation platform and CRM.
Being able to reply to my business Instagram Direct Messages within Hubspot would be a really efficient feauture. I see I can reply to facebook messages and emails but i was really hoping Instagram DMs could be added as well because thats an important part of customer service for my team and I. I was under the impression that this was possible but I just realized it unfortuntaly is not available.
I agree, and it would be great if it could go one step further and host all comments and messages in a communal space or a place where questions can be sent to the right team members and answered by them. Kind of like a website chat but for instagram.
For a a high traffic and communication platform like Instagram this really should be something to take care of. The reply rates for messages on Instagram are extrelmy high.
Hey i´m new to Hubspot this week, but not beeing able to link my instainbox feels really akward and 2018. When is due to be lauched. 60% of all our traffic goes through insta and i was kinda expextig a system like Hubspot would have a solution for this.
Yes, also being able to track new instagram followers would be ideal. Our data isn’t feeling accurate because we track new followers for other platform but not Instagram.
So I spoke with the guys at ManyChat and they say one of the main reasons why this is not available is due to Instagram not having the API keys available for integration softwares like HubSpot and ManyChat to get feeds from the IG chat. So, it seems clear that the demand is there and it’s just a matter of time.
There is a free extension app for google chrome called “All-in-one” and it allows you to integrate different chat/messaging systems into a single application (with multiple tabs allowing you to jump into each respective platforms) one of these chat systems is Instagram - so those guys figured a work around.
But at the moment, my team is just sitting behind our Facebook business page for any social inquiries coming from IG and FB platforms..
Based on the engagement that we receive, Facebook compared to Instagram, Facebook Messenger is a nice to have and Instagram is a MUST HAVE. We would love to see this idea gain some traction!
I am suprised HubSpot still hasnt made this a feature/function. To manage and Customer center all communications should be centralized. Facebook posts, Facebook Messenger, Instagram Messenger, Twitter, TikTok, Youtube & Linkedin. all comments on posts and direct messages should be fed into the Customer Center engagment to create a ticket and enable a response.
