Instagram Ad Comments

We've developed an integration to allow you to respond to your Instagram Ads directly through Gorgias:

New top-level comments are fetched every 20 minutes for all active ads live on Instagram.
The top-level comments sent when this feature wasn't enabled aren't fetched.
When you reply to a top-level comment via Gorgias, the reply is sent as a thread reply.

IG TV comments can't be pulled in.
Liking Instagram comments using Gorgias isn't available.
