The problem

Your customers are DMing you on Instagram — is anyone watching?

For most D2C brands, Instagram is where discovery turns into intent — someone replies to a story, comments "price?" on a reel, or DMs a question about sizing. If that lands in the native Instagram app with no team behind it, you lose the sale before it starts. SMSLocal brings Instagram into the same shared inbox as your WhatsApp and SMS conversations, so nothing sits unread.

What you get

Every Instagram touchpoint, covered

From a story reply to a closed sale, without switching apps.

DM automation

Set up auto-replies for FAQs, greeting messages for first-time senders, and quick-reply buttons that route customers to the right answer without waiting on a human.

Story-reply & comment-to-DM automation

Set a keyword — 'PRICE', 'LINK', 'SIZE' — and anyone who comments it on a post or reel, or replies to your story, gets pulled straight into a DM automatically. No one has to dig through a comments thread to find them.

AI agent, same inbox as WhatsApp

Your AI agent answers Instagram DMs the same way it answers WhatsApp — grounded in your catalog and order data, with instant handoff to a human when a conversation needs one.

Catalog & product tagging

Tag products directly in a DM reply so customers can view details or check out without leaving the conversation — built for D2C brands running Instagram as a storefront.

Why it works

One inbox, one AI agent, every channel your customers actually use

Your support and sales team shouldn't have to log into a separate app for every channel. Instagram conversations show up next to WhatsApp and SMS, with the same customer profile, the same AI agent, and the same quick replies — so switching channels never means switching tools.

Faster first response

AI agent replies the moment a DM lands, day or night

Quick replies built in

Saved answers for sizing, shipping, and returns, one tap away

One shared inbox

Instagram, WhatsApp, and SMS handled by the same team, same view

Sell in the DM

Catalog tags turn a question into checkout without switching apps

Why SMSLocal

Instagram is a channel, not a separate business

Add Instagram to the same omnichannel inbox that already runs your WhatsApp, SMS, and email conversations, and let the same AI agent handle the routine questions across all of them — so growth on Instagram doesn't mean growing your support headcount.
