Connect Instagram to Perplexity

• Catch you up

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

  search_messages

• Draft replies

  Perplexity 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 Perplexity about your Instagram

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

  Perplexity adds custom remote connectors on its paid plans, and ConnectChats works as one. Add it once, sign in with your passkey, and Perplexity can search the chats you share alongside the web. Custom remote connectors in Perplexity need a paid plan. On Enterprise, an admin has to allow members to add them. The same ConnectChats account works in every AI app, so the chats you already linked are available in Perplexity without linking them again. ConnectChats only sees the chats you choose to share, and it asks for your approval before any reply is sent.

• You pick the chats

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

• Drafts by default

  Perplexity 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.
