Before you can start automating your Instagram DMs with ReplyRush, there are a few important requirements you need to check.
The requirements depend on the connection method you choose — Facebook Login or Instagram Login.
If You Connect via Facebook Login (Recommended)
-
Instagram Account Type
Your Instagram account must be set to either a Creator or Business account.
Personal Instagram accounts are not supported for automation features.
-
Facebook Page
Your Instagram account must be linked to a Facebook Page.
A personal Facebook profile alone is not sufficient — the Instagram account must be connected to a Page.
-
Full Admin Access
You must have full Admin access to both your Facebook Page and Instagram account.
Editor or other lower-level roles may not have the required permissions for automation.
If You Connect via Instagram Login
-
Instagram Account Type
Your Instagram account can be Personal, Creator, or Business — but for best performance and more features, we recommend switching to Creator or Business.
-
Facebook Page
Not required for Instagram Login connections. You can connect directly to your Instagram account without a linked Facebook Page.
Why These Are Important
These prerequisites are set by Meta (the parent company of Facebook and Instagram) to control how third-party platforms like ReplyRush can access and send DMs.
Using Facebook Login gives you the most reliable connection, while Instagram Login is faster and simpler for basic automation.
