Chat SDK now includes an Instagram adapter that lets bots exchange DMs and media, handle quick replies and link buttons, show typing indicators, and process story replies via Meta's Messaging API.
Developers can now build Instagram bots with the same Chat SDK interface used for other platforms. The adapter requires a professional Business or Creator account and inherits Meta's 24-hour messaging window, so bots can only reply within a day of the user's last message. Streamed responses are buffered and sent as one message, which affects real-time interaction patterns.

The adapter connects through Meta's Instagram Messaging API and requires a professional Business or Creator account.
Bots can send and receive DMs and media, render cards as quick replies and link buttons, show typing indicators, receive reactions, and handle story replies.
Messages are buffered, so streamed responses send as one message, and Meta enforces a 24-hour messaging window.
