Instagram DMs go through Meta's Graph API, so the connect flow runs through Facebook. Your Instagram account must be a Professional account (Business or Creator) and linked to a Facebook Page you manage.

1

Open the Channels page in Loop

In the left sidebar, click Channels. On the Instagram card, click Connect.

Sign in with Facebook

Loop redirects you to Facebook's login dialog. Sign in with the Facebook account that manages the Page your Instagram is linked to.

3

Approve the permissions

Facebook asks you to approve the permissions Loop needs (reading and replying to Instagram DMs, reading your business pages). Approve all of them or the connection will be incomplete.

After Facebook confirms, Loop lists every Instagram Professional account linked to that Facebook. Pick the one you want this workspace to use.

Send a test DM

From a different Instagram account, send a DM to the connected profile. Watch it land in your Loop Inbox and let the AI reply.
