Instagram Automation Features

Let customers ask questions and get help directly in Instagram DMs.

Instant DM Responses

Reply to Instagram DMs in seconds, not hours. Never leave a follower waiting.

Ask what customers need

Ask customers about their needs so your team can follow up.

Lead Capture

Ask for the contact details your team needs.

Rich Cards & Carousels

When the AI shares your photos, documents, links, videos, or booking link, each arrives as a card — title, thumbnail, and a tappable button. Multiple cards appear as a swipeable carousel right inside Instagram DM.

Help from your team

When customers need personal assistance, the AI provides your team's contact information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

Does it use the official Instagram API?

Hyperleap AI uses the official Instagram Messaging API. Your account and messages still need to follow Meta’s rules.

Can I take over the conversation?

Yes. From the Hyperleap leads page, you can view conversations and pause automation. Then you can reply directly from Instagram DMs.

How does the handover to human work?

When a customer needs human assistance, the AI can provide your team's contact information such as a phone number or email address so they can reach out directly.

Do I need a minimum number of followers?

Technically no, but Instagram's API works best with Professional (Business or Creator) accounts. There are no follower limits for Business accounts.
