We’re excited to expand Instagram messaging support to all of our customers to help them provide highly personalized messaging experiences.

Be Where Your Customers Are

Instagram has been around for more than 10 years and now plays a central role in helping people connect brands. Over 2020, total daily conversations between people and businesses on Messenger and Instagram grew over 40%.

Sprinklr’s integration of the Messenger API for Instagram provides a crucial opportunity for brands to create meaningful interactions with more than 1 billion monthly active users.

Create a Unified Customer Care Experience

Businesses can manage Instagram messages from people across the platform in Sprinklr – this includes direct messages on the brand’s Profile, messages via Instagram Shops, and messages via Instagram Stories. Additionally, brands can create a unified customer care experience by using customer information from other channels or business systems connected to Sprinklr.

The same Sprinklr workflows brands use to send appropriate messages automatically to the right support agent can be used in Instagram messaging. If your brand has workflows for Messenger, you can use the same workflows for Instagram messaging to create a seamless messaging experience across channels.

Make Customers Happier

One of Sprinklr’s beta customers for Messenger API for Instagram – one of the largest global fashion retailers – was able to streamline different customer inquiries using Sprinklr. With a single Instagram handle for their global brand, they would get inquiries in various languages. By working with Sprinklr, the fashion company was able to automatically assign each inquiry to the correct team for support. As a result, the fashion company increased efficiency by 31% and CSAT by 9.45 points.
