Instagram Direct Messages
eclincher now supports Instagram Direct Messages
In an effort to create a better UX/UI for Instagram users, the Messenger API for Instagram now allows developers to connect to the direct message feature of Instagram. Due to an API limitation, previously, Instagram Direct messaging was not included in eclincher's Social Inbox and social media managers still had to work natively on Instagram to check messages and mentions as well as, reply to messages. With the NEW API, eclincher can now give its users an improved workflow that increases productivity as well as provide a high quality messaging experience removing another limitation to eclincher clients.

Reply to direct messages through the eclincher platform
