How to Train Your Instagram Agent

August 25, 2025

Keeping up with Instagram DMs, comments, and replies can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re answering the same questions again and again. Jotform’s Instagram Agent takes that weight off by handling repetitive messages, replying in real time, and keeping every response in line with your brand’s voice. It’s like having a teammate who never misses a message.

Even better, you can train your agent to reply exactly the way you want. By pulling from your Instagram bio, posts, and past DMs, it learns your style and tone so your audience gets quick, consistent replies—while you save time and focus on creating or growing your business.

Notes

  • You’ll need a Professional Instagram account to use the Instagram Agent. Professional accounts can be set up as either Business or Creator.
  • If you reset your Instagram password and log out of all devices, your Instagram Agent will disconnect. To keep using it, just log back in and authenticate your account again. As long as you stay logged in, the connection won’t break.
  • You can only connect one Instagram account to one agent at a time. If you want to switch agents, first disconnect the current one from Meta, then authenticate the new agent with your account.
  • Some users turn off DMs. If you do that while using Instagram Agent, it won’t be able to send you DMs either.
