As Instagram is gaining popularity among Ecommerce brand owners, Instagram Direct Messages (DMs) is becoming a major channel for customer support.
Instagram released its Messenger API to businesses on June 2, 2021. With this release, omnichannel customer support tools like Zendesk, DelightChat, Reamaze, and many others now integrate Instagram DM support directly into their products.
Let’s answer a few questions revolving around Reamazee and its support for Instagram direct messaging.
Does Reamaze support Instagram Direct Messaging?
Yes, Reamaze offers integration with Instagram DMs along with the existing Instagram comments support. With this integration, businesses can connect with the customers over direct messages right from the Reamaze interface.
After the integration is complete, you can also reply to comments on posts, however replying privately to post comments through DMs is not yet possible.
If you want to reply to Instagram comments via DMs, Reamaze would be lacking. You may want a tool like DelightChat (that’s us!) which integrates with Instagram and supports Instagram DMs, comments on posts and ads, and allows you to reply to comments via direct messages, all from a single screen.
