How Instagram works with Nilyo

Connection. Secure hosted sign-in on your own Instagram account; a verification code may be requested by Instagram on the provider side, never in the chat.

What your agent can do. Direct messages (read, reply, send), profile lookup, followers and following lists, your own profile.

Pacing and safety. About 100 actions per day per account, calls serialized.

  • Instagram limits new conversations with people who do not follow you; the agent says so instead of retrying.

Prompts to try

“Reply to the last Instagram DM from Marie.”
“Who follows me that I don't follow back?”
“Research this creator before I message them.”

Questions about Instagram

Can the agent post on Instagram?

Direct messages, profiles and followers are supported; publishing is limited by what the provider exposes and is flagged explicitly when unavailable.

All Instagram guides

Your accounts stay under your control

Your agent only sees accounts you connect and authorize. Provider passwords are never shown, reading does not silently authorize writes, and the agent asks when several accounts or people could match your request.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Company billing never gives managers access to a member’s messages, email or calendars. You can revoke agent access or disconnect an account whenever needed.

Example questions

Give Nilyo to your agent.

Paste one setup link. Your agent can guide OAuth, account connection and the first useful action.
