## Why Included

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.

## Source Summary

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**.

## Practical Implication

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.

## Agent-Ready Context

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.

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.

## Connected Context

Feed7 judgment across 542 accumulated Signals:

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.

- [Chat SDK adds X adapter support](https://feed7.dev/p/chat-sdk-adds-x-adapter-support-1tpeb4z) — Both expand one bot codebase across social channels, but their constraints differ: Instagram buffers streamed output and imposes a 24-hour reply window, while X accepts no streaming and limits reactions to likes.
- [Use any Chat SDK adapter with eve](https://feed7.dev/p/eve-chat-sdk-channel-03h905c) — The Instagram adapter becomes another destination available to eve’s cross-channel agent model, but eve’s shared threads and proactive-send abstractions still need to respect Instagram’s account and reply-window constraints.
- [Chat SDK now supports reactions and ephemeral messages on Teams](https://feed7.dev/p/chat-sdk-reactions-and-ephemeral-messages-on-teams-1e9k504) — Together they reinforce that Chat SDK provides a common channel layer while important interaction primitives remain adapter-specific: Instagram adds story replies and link buttons, whereas Teams adds private ephemeral delivery and distinct authentication behavior.

## Uncertainty

- 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.
