Instagram integration

Another that we used for a period of time was HootSuite. Alternatively for most we use websta.me as it can pull most data in a better way than Insta allows. For support our primary channel is dm. However, that function is only available on Instagram and not through any third party program.

Any updates on this?? We'd really like to see it...

Instagram is one of the biggest social sites today and lot's of our customers interact with us using this platform. It's a shame that Freshdesk doesn't offer any kind of native integration. Hope our voice will be heard before it's too late...

 

Any news on this? Such a missed opportunity... 

Hey Freshdesk, hello!!!

Any news about Instagram integration?? 3 years have passed ..

Yes an Instagram integration would be super super useful! 

@ Freshdesk. What is the reason that this is not being integrated?

I'm starting to build firstline.app

 

It is sales and customer support for Instagram sales. It converts issues from Instagram comments into CRM tickets.

I'm early on in the process, and looking for lots of feedback from potential users. Would you be interested? Please vote for Freshdesk integration here where I collected requirements from this discussion.

Hi guys,

I'm thrilled to finally let you all know that we have developed an integration with Instagram. Our app is approved by Facebook/Instagram and currently under review by Freshdesk's marketplace team, so hopefully it will be released within very short.

Our app looks really good (if I may say so myself...) and will give you all really good possibilities to handle all your Instagram posts, comments and replies straight from Freshdesk. It's possible to sort, search and filer comments in some really efficient ways, and of course you can also create tickets out or certain comments that needs extra attention.

We've been doing beta testing with selected customers during some time, and we are still open for a few more until the app is officially released. If you are interested in participating, please sign up on our website. You'll find more info here: http://swedbyte.com/freshdesk-instagram-integration/

Don't hesitate to write us on instagram@swedbyte.se if you have any questions

Any news from Facebook regarding the direct messages? Unfortunately we don't have any use for creating tickets from replies and comments, but direct messages in Freshdesk would be golden.

Hello Freshdesk team,
any news about the Instagram direct messages integration? The proposed app from swedbyte specifically mentions it doesn't support direct messages, which is IMHO the most important channel to have covered for support needs.

Is there a technical limitation from Facebook/Instagram side? Do you have any time frame for possible integration? Thanks.

Hi all,

We are working on a major update of our Instagram app, and are currently in beta. There are some details that needs a bit more polish, but hopefully it's ready to be posted within some week.

Regarding the direct messages (DM's) there is unfortunately still a limitation from Instagram's/Facebook's side, making it impossible to interact with and handle DM's outside IG/FB. I know that there are tools on the market who claims that they handle DM's, but the truth is, that if they do actually handle DM's, they are not following the IG/FB directives and they have simply built their tools on unlawful grounds.  Not only is it illegal, but also they run the risk of being shut down at any moment by IG/FB, so I would strongly recommend against using and running any serious business on such tools.

Freshdesk should offer a native Instagram integration, like FB :)
