What bundle.social handles
Instagram comments belong with the campaign
A reply is not just a support action. It is part of the public campaign surface, and bundle.social keeps that context attached.
Workflow
How it works
Connect accounts once, then create and schedule posts with channel-specific fields from one API.
Create an API key
Generate an organization API key and use it from your backend with the x-api-key header.
Connect accounts
Connect the social accounts your product, agent, or customer workflow should manage.
Run the workflow
Call the API with platform-specific data while bundle.social tracks status, context, and dashboard visibility.
Capabilities
Instagram comment workflows for product teams
Reply, triage, and connect comments to the Instagram posts that created them.
Reply API
Create Instagram comment replies through the shared comment endpoint where permissions allow. Handle high-volume campaigns efficiently.
Post context
Keep every comment tied to the media and campaign that generated it. Provide full context for your support team.
Team review
Let marketing and support review comment context from the dashboard. Avoid giving everyone native Instagram access.
Analytics connection
Pair comments with Instagram engagement and audience reporting for campaign analysis. Measure the true impact of your content.
Platform specifics
Instagram API details that affect comment workflows
Instagram comments are tied to media objects, account permissions, and campaign context, so the posting surface still matters.
Media context matters
Feed posts, Reels, Stories, and carousels have different rules. Carousels can include up to 10 items, and comment handling should keep that parent media context attached.
Meta connection path
Some Instagram discovery and location workflows only work when the account is connected through the Facebook login flow, not every direct Instagram connection.
Publishing constraints nearby
Reels and Stories are vertical-first, feed images usually need 4:5 or 1:1, and auto-fit or auto-crop options help normalize non-standard images before campaign comments arrive.
Developer example
Reply to an Instagram comment
Examples use bundle.social's public API shape: API key authentication, a post date, selected social account types, and platform-specific data.
1await fetch("https://api.bundle.social/api/v1/comment", {2 method: "POST",3 headers: {4 "x-api-key": process.env.BUNDLE_SOCIAL_API_KEY,5 "Content-Type": "application/json"6 },7 body: JSON.stringify({8 teamId: "team_123",9 fetchedParentCommentId: "ig_comment_123",10 text: "Thanks for reaching out - sending details now."11 })12});Supported content
Honest limitations
- Instagram comment access depends on Meta permissions and account eligibility.
- Private messages and public comments are separate product surfaces.
- Some moderation actions may remain native-platform specific.
