# 1. Connect Instagram

> Link your Instagram account to Orsay so the AI can reply to DMs, story replies, and comments.

Connect your Instagram account once, and Orsay can automatically reply to every **DM**, every **reply on your stories**, and every **comment on your posts**.

<Note>
  This is the **inbound** Instagram integration — Orsay reads and responds to people who already engaged with your account. There are **no daily limits** on inbound: every message gets a reply.
</Note>

## Connect your Instagram account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Integrations → Instagram">
    In the sidebar, click **[Integrations](https://app.orsay.ai/integrations)** → **Instagram** → **[Connect Instagram](https://app.orsay.ai/integrations/instagram/connect)**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize via Facebook">
    You're redirected to Facebook. Log in to the Facebook account that owns the Instagram business profile, then approve the permissions Orsay needs (read messages, send messages, read comments).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick the Instagram account">
    If your Facebook account manages multiple Instagram accounts, pick the one you want to connect.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    You're sent back to Orsay. The [integrations page](https://app.orsay.ai/integrations) shows the new account as **Connected**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Your Instagram account must be a **Business** or **Creator** account (not Personal), and it must be linked to a **Facebook page**. This is Meta's requirement for any messaging integration.
</Warning>
