Meta-approved DM automation

Repli automates Instagram and WhatsApp direct messages entirely through Meta's official APIs with approved advanced permissions — no scraping, no unofficial logins, no shadow-ban risk.

Why teams choose Repli

Is Instagram DM automation allowed by Meta?

Yes, when it runs on the official Instagram Graph API with approved permissions. Repli is a Meta-reviewed integration that messages only inside the 24-hour window, so automation is fully within policy.

What Meta enforces against is unofficial automation: tools that log into your account with your password, drive the mobile or web app in a headless browser, or send unsolicited cold DMs. Those trigger action blocks and reach penalties. Repli does none of them.

What is the 24-hour messaging window?

Meta lets a business reply to a user for 24 hours after that user's last message or comment interaction. Outside that window, unsolicited DMs require Advanced Access and, on WhatsApp, an approved template.

Repli tracks the window per conversation. If it closes, automations pause for that contact instead of pushing a message that would breach policy — which is why our customers do not collect messaging warnings.

Frequently asked questions

Is Instagram DM automation allowed by Meta?

Yes, when it uses the official Instagram Graph API with approved permissions and stays inside the 24-hour messaging window. Repli meets all three conditions.

Will Repli get my Instagram account banned?

No. Repli never logs into your account, never scrapes and never cold-DMs. All traffic goes through Meta's approved API endpoints.

What is Advanced Access?

It is the Meta permission level that allows a reviewed app to manage messages and comments for accounts that are not its own. Repli holds it, which is why setup takes one click.

Do I have to share my Instagram password?

Never. You authorise Repli with Instagram Business Login, an OAuth flow run by Meta. Repli only receives a revocable access token.

Can I send DMs to people who never messaged me?

Not outside the 24-hour window. Meta reserves unsolicited messaging for specific approved use cases, and Repli enforces that limit rather than working around it.

Is WhatsApp automation also official?

Yes. WhatsApp automation runs on the WhatsApp Business Platform (Cloud API) with approved templates and automatic opt-out handling.

What happens if Meta changes its policy?

Repli tracks Graph API versions and policy updates and ships changes ahead of deprecation dates, so your automations keep running.

Can I revoke access?

Yes. Disconnect the account in Repli or remove the app in your Instagram settings and every token is invalidated immediately.
