Instagram Integration

Is ReplyLink safe to use with my Instagram account?

Yes, ReplyLink uses Instagram's official API and complies with their terms of service. We use secure OAuth authentication and never store your password.

Will using ReplyLink get my Instagram account banned?

When used properly, ReplyLink should not put your account at risk. We implement sending limits, natural delays, and other safeguards to ensure your automation appears natural and complies with Instagram's guidelines.

Does Instagram know I'm using automation?

Instagram is aware that businesses use approved partners like ReplyLink for account management. Our integration is transparent and uses official API channels, not scraping or unauthorized methods.

What happens if I change my Instagram password?

If you change your Instagram password, you'll need to reconnect your account in ReplyLink. Your automations will be paused until you reconnect.

Features and Functionality

How quickly are comments detected?

ReplyLink typically detects new comments within 1-5 minutes of posting, depending on API refresh rates and current system load.

Can I set up different messages for different posts?

Yes, you can create post-specific automations with unique message templates for each post or category of posts.

Can I include links in automated messages?

Yes, one of the main benefits of moving conversations to DMs is the ability to include clickable links, which aren't possible in comments.

Will my followers know the messages are automated?

Messages are sent through your Instagram account and appear as regular DMs. However, we recommend adding personalization and natural delays to make interactions feel authentic.

Can I see analytics for my automations?

Yes, ReplyLink provides comprehensive analytics including open rates, response rates, link clicks, and conversions for all your automated messages.
