Connect Instagram to Grok

• Catch you up

  Ask what you missed and Grok 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. Grok searches your Instagram history and quotes the message.

  search_messages

• Draft replies

  Grok 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 Grok about your Instagram

   Open a new conversation in Grok and ask about your chats. Grok 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 Grok

  Grok supports custom connectors that point at a remote MCP server. You add ConnectChats once on grok.com, sign in with your passkey, and Grok can use the chats you share when you ask about them. xAI says connectors are available to all Grok users. Custom connectors are added on grok.com. On Grok Business and Enterprise, a team admin adds the connector in the xAI console first, then each member connects their own account. Grok lists the ConnectChats tools after you connect, so you can see what it is able to call.

• You pick the chats

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

• Drafts by default

  Grok 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.
