Chat SDK adds Instagram adapter
Chat SDK now supports Instagram bots for DMs, media, reactions, story replies, and interactive cards, with buffered streaming and Meta’s 24-hour reply window.
Chat SDK’s new **Instagram adapter** supports DMs, media, quick replies, link buttons, typing indicators, reactions, and story replies through Meta’s Messaging API. It requires a **Business or Creator account**.
Builders can use one bot stack for Instagram interactions, but should design responses around channel semantics: streamed output is buffered and delivered as one completed message.

It requires a **Business or Creator account**. Builders can use one bot stack for Instagram interactions, but should design responses around channel semantics: streamed output is buffered and delivered as one completed message. Meta limits replies to a **24-hour messaging window** after the user’s last message. The material does not describe fallback behavior for expired windows or partial generation failures.
Instagram extends Chat SDK’s shared bot stack to another high-reach channel, while confirming that portability stops at the interaction boundary. Account eligibility, buffered delivery, story and media semantics, and Meta’s 24-hour reply window must be handled as Instagram-specific product constraints rather than hidden by the common adapter layer.
