How to receive your Messenger and Instagram DM messages on Livebeep?

Integrating the instant messaging channels of Instagram Dm and Messenger in Livebeep is a very simple process. You just have to keep in mind that for the integration of Instagram DM you must previously verify a series of settings in your Facebook and Instagram accounts.

If you only want to receive Messenger messages from a Facebook Page, make sure that the Facebook user who logs into Livebeep is an administrator of the page and that's it. Important: You cannot receive Messenger messages from a personal Facebook account. Click here to see the steps to connect Messenger

What should you check to integrate Instagram DM?

The Instagram account must be a professional account.

Not a professional account? Click here and follow these steps to update your account.
Link your professional Instagram account to a Facebook Page.

In Livebeep you can receive only Instagram DM messages, but this step is still required for the API to work properly.

The messaging permission must be enabled on your Instagram account.

Make sure you have "Allow access to messages" turned on in your Instagram settings. It can only be done from the Instagram mobile app.
