Connect Instagram to ChatGPT

• Catch you up

  Ask what you missed and ChatGPT reads your unread Instagram chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.

  get_messages_to_summarize

• Find any message

  The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. ChatGPT searches your Instagram history and quotes the message.

  search_messages

• Draft replies

  ChatGPT writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.

  draft_reply

• Send with your OK

  When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own Instagram account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

4. 4

   Ask ChatGPT about your Instagram

   Open a new conversation in ChatGPT and ask about your chats. ChatGPT calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.

• Instagram in ConnectChats

  One to one DMs and group chats are supported, including message requests. Shared posts, reels, photos and voice messages show up as short text descriptions. Each linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then every new message arrives as it is sent. Creator and business accounts work too, which helps when your inbox is mostly people asking the same questions.

• ConnectChats in ChatGPT

  ChatGPT connects to remote MCP servers that you add as a custom plugin. You add ConnectChats once with its server address and sign in with your passkey. ChatGPT can then read, search and summarize the chats you share, and draft replies for you to approve. Custom MCP servers are added on the web. The ChatGPT help center says which plans can add one, and the list has changed several times, so check yours there. On some plans OpenAI lets custom servers read but not take actions. Reading and searching work there; drafting and sending need a plan that allows write actions. In Business and Enterprise workspaces, an admin or owner usually has to create and publish the plugin before members can use it. ChatGPT asks you to confirm before a tool takes an action, on top of ConnectChats' own draft approval.

• You pick the chats

  ChatGPT only sees the Instagram chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.

• Drafts by default

  ChatGPT prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches Instagram, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.

• Stored messages are encrypted

  Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
