# Get started with Instagram Automation

Instagram Automation allows Instagram Businesses to use a chatbot to manage their Instagram DMs. An Instagram Business Account must be connected to a Facebook Page for Instagram automation to work.

Instagram Automation is available for the following accounts:

* Any Instagram Professional account for a business.
* Any Instagram Professional account for a Creator.

To manage Instagram messages via Business Robots Ai, Instagram business accounts must enable the connected tools to toggle under message control settings.

**How to build Instagram flows**

The process of building flows for all channels is the same. We recommend you always use the **Omnichannel** message type.
