Showing 16 of 16. Your agent can use every one of them; you don't pick them, you ask for the outcome.

How it works

Connected in a minute. In your control after that.

  1. Connect Instagram

    Open Connections, find Instagram and press Connect. You sign in on Instagram's own page; there's nothing to configure.

  2. Choose what it may do

    Full, Ask first or Read-only, for the whole workspace. Share Instagram with the team, or keep it under each person's own login.

  3. Ask from anywhere

    Text your agent on iMessage or WhatsApp, message it in Slack or the app, or put a Instagram job on a schedule: every morning, every Friday.

Works with your other tools

Instagram, together with the rest of your stack.

Ask for an outcome that spans apps and your agent pulls from each one, cross-checks them and sends back one answer.

Questions

Instagram and Cicada, answered.

Does Cicada integrate with Instagram?

Yes. Instagram is one of the 888 apps with a page here, and it connects with one click. Once it's connected, every agent in your workspace can use it from any channel you talk to them on.

How do I connect Instagram?

Open Connections, find Instagram and press Connect. You sign in on Instagram's own page; there's nothing to configure.

What can Cicada do in Instagram?

16 actions: 9 that read from Instagram and 7 that change things in it, for example get user info, get user media, get post status. It picks the right ones for what you ask and chains them with your other apps.

Can I stop Cicada changing things in Instagram?

Yes. In Connections, set Instagram to Read-only and no agent in your workspace can create, change or delete anything in it; it can still read. Ask first lets it act but makes it check with you before each change.

Can I ask about Instagram from my phone?

Yes. Text your agent on iMessage or WhatsApp, or message it in Slack or the app. It answers in the same thread, and it can run Instagram jobs on a schedule, like every morning at 8.

Is my Instagram data safe?

Your Instagram login or key is stored on the server and never appears in a conversation. Disconnecting removes it. Every action an agent takes is in your activity log, and your data isn't used to train models.

One teammate. The output of a team.
