Connect the AI assistant to Instagram

Clients DM your salon on Instagram — the assistant answers in Direct, offers free slots and books appointments into your calendar.

1

Switch to a Professional account

The assistant works with Instagram Business/Creator accounts. Switch in the Instagram app: Settings → Account type. It is free and reversible.

2

Link a Facebook Page

Instagram messaging runs through Meta, which requires a Facebook Page linked to your Instagram account. Create one (even an empty one is fine) and link it in Instagram settings.

3

Create a Meta app

On developers.facebook.com create a Business app and add the Instagram/Messenger product. Link your Facebook Page and Instagram account to the app.

4

Get the credentials

You need the Instagram account ID and a Page access token with the instagram_manage_messages permission (Graph API Explorer or app settings).

5

Connect in Klendr

In the dashboard open AI assistant → Settings → Instagram card, paste the account ID and the token, press Connect. Then in the Meta app open Configuration and paste the webhook Callback URL and Verify Token — both are shown in the Instagram card in your Klendr dashboard — then in the Webhook fields section press Subscribe on the “messages” row.

6

Test in Direct

DM your salon account — the assistant answers, quotes services and prices and books real appointments. All chats appear in AI assistant → Chats.

💡 While the Meta app is in development mode, only test users added to the app can message the bot. For all clients, Meta requires business verification + App Review — write to support@klendr.me, we will walk you through it.
