Kommo’s Guide to Instagram CRM

Instagram CRM is a customer relationship management (CRM) tool that's fully integrated with Instagram.📱

The idea behind Instagram CRM is to help you capture and manage conversations from Instagram Direct, stories, and comments.

But that's not all! With Instagram CRM, you can also:

Instagram offers two types of accounts: personal and professional.

💼 The professional account is further divided into Instagram Creator Account and Instagram Business Account.

To determine which account best suits your needs, take a look at the table below:

📥 Instagram business account provides 3 inbox options for managing your DMs, depending on your business needs and size. These include:

The Instagram App Inbox is best suited for a micro-business or if you run a business by yourself. All you need to have is an Instagram Business account.

Here’s what you can do:

Now, if you're running a small business that requires more flexibility and automation, the Meta Business Suite Inbox is a better option.

Simply connect your Instagram Business Account to your business's Facebook page. 🔗

💬 The Instagram DM API is an ideal solution for medium and large businesses relying heavily on Instagram to communicate with customers.

It can handle many messages and has advanced automation features, making it a powerful tool for businesses with high message volumes.

Most CRMs have either native or third-party integrations with Instagram.

🔌 The native integration is built into a CRM platform provided by the CRM itself. The third-party integration, on the other hand, is built by an external company and developers.

Kommo is the world's first Instagram CRM. 🌎

It comes equipped with dozens of Instagram features to empower your team to sell more effectively.

At Kommo, we are proud to say that we are an officially badged Meta Business Partner, which means that our expertise has been vetted and recognized by Meta. 🤝

Our partnership with Meta has helped us elevate our services and provide our clients with the best possible solutions for their digital marketing needs, including those who use Instagram.

Now let’s explore how you can take the full advantage of Instagram potential for lead management with Kommo.

Kommo offers a set of essential marketing features, including:

• Instagram lead capture – where no DM goes unnoticed.
• Remarketing campaigns – reconnecting with your awesome audience on the platform they love most.
• Performance measurement - tracking those DMs and stellar performance like a boss.
• Chatbot automation – providing lightning-fast responses 24/7, because the bot never sleeps when it comes chatting with your followers! ⚡💬

With the great power of Instagram DM API come great responsibilities. 😳

To encourage businesses to reply faster to their leads and customers, Meta has imposed a 24-hour messaging rule, which means you, as a business, have only 24 hours to respond to the message.

⏰ This means no more days off unless you start using Kommo, of course!

With our platform, you can increase your messaging window by up to 7 days using the Human Agent tag, giving you more time to respond to messages and engage with your customers on your own schedule.

What’s more, our chatbot can even send reminders to your team when a conversation is approaching the 24-hour mark, ensuring that you don't miss out on any important opportunities. ⏳

Since businesses are not allowed to initiate conversations using Instagram DM API, there are some strategies you can implement to encourage your followers to message you.

1. Chat links and QR codes
2. Instagram Widget
3. Click to Instagram Direct
4. Generate leads from comments
5. Instagram Story Mentions

Chat Links & QR codes

Recently Instagram has introduced ig.me links, so-called chat links 🔗 that redirect Instagram users directly to your Instagram DMs. The links adhere to the following format, where the username is the IG handle of your Instagram account:

All you have to do is share the link on your website, email, or text message and connect with your customers more easily than ever before. No more searching for Instagram profiles – just click the link and start chatting. 💬

But if you are using Instagram to enhance your brand awareness 📣 and prefer to communicate with customers through a messenger like WhatsApp, you can easily redirect them to your WhatsApp chat using a WhatsApp link, QR code, or button.

Instagram Widget

Now, if you want to drive more traffic to your Instagram profile, you can add an Instagram widget to your website. This little eye catchy icon will stay throughout the whole browsing experience, appearing on every page of your website and reminding the visitors about your Instagram account and other socials. 🤓

With the Instagram widget, not only can visitors get a taste of your Instagram content, but they can also follow your account or even DM you.

Find out how to add the instagram widget to to your website via Kommo in just a few simple steps:

Click to Instagram Direct ads

If you plan on reaching a wider audience, Click-to-Instagram Direct Ads can be the way to go.

The ads can be shown in Instagram Stories or Feeds and prompt the user to write you a direct message. The new conversation will then appear in your Instagram DM inbox. 📥

Here is how it works:

This form of advertising can help you initiate more conversations with potential customers and interact with them more quickly. This means that you can move leads down the sales funnel much faster, resulting in better conversion rates. 🤑

Generate leads from Instagram Story Mentions

Similarly, if a user mentions your business in their Instagram Story, it will pop up in your CRM account. This way, you can start a conversation with them.

This feature lets you stay on top of your mentions and engage with potential customers helping you build stronger relationships with your audience.

Generate leads from Instagram comments

While Instagram Direct Messages are a popular option, you can also generate quality leads from comments under your posts. 👀

When a user leaves a comment, it will appear in your Kommo account, where you can follow up with them and turn them into potential customers.

But that's not all – you can also increase your page engagement with various promotions and set up a chatbot to automatically respond to your comments using specific keyword triggers. Learn about keyword triggers. ⚡️

The Instagram chatbot is a must-have tool for marketing teams these days. With this little AI friend, you can automate your messages, engage with followers, and drive sales. 📈

By setting up the bot, you can ensure you provide quick support, send personalized content, gather feedback, and make sure no lead is left unattended.

The best part? You don't need any coding skills to set up the chatbot. 👩‍💻 Our visual chatbot builder is extremely user-friendly and straightforward.

If you're feeling adventurous, you can build a chatbot from scratch. But if you are like the rest of us, you can select an existing template and customize it to fit your business needs. 🤖

One of the most common examples would be setting up the bot to get opt-ins to send out your marketing campaigns.

Let’s be honest. Not everyone wants to get spammed by your business, even if it means getting the best deals. 🙅‍♀️

So, simply asking for your client's consent to receive promotional materials can enhance their perception of your brand and improve their overall attitude towards it. ✅✅

Here is how you can do it in just 2 steps:

1. Customize a chatbot template to ask customers whether they want to opt in or opt out of receiving promotional deals from you.
2. Based on their response, the chatbot assigns a specific tag to the contact.

After all the tags are in place, you can initiate your promotional campaign. 🚀

Instagram ice-breakers

With the Instagram ice-breakers feature in the Kommo Instagram integration, you can show prompt messages to users reaching out to you for the first time.

Here's how it works:

• When someone opens an Instagram DM chat with your account, static message buttons appear.
