We’re expanding our Intelligent Engagement Platform to include Messenger API support for Instagram, giving businesses a new way to deliver seamless, personalized customer service experiences through Messenger from Facebook.
We’re excited to announce the latest addition to our Intelligent Engagement Platform: Messenger API support for Instagram. Just announced at F8 Refresh, Facebook’s virtual developer conference, this API will deliver seamless integration with Messenger from Facebook, expanding the reach of Nuance’s intelligent engagement tools to Instagram.
Instagram’s continued focus on professional accounts over the past few years, including branded stories and shoppable posts, is helping businesses turn communities into customers. And with 90% of people on Instagram following at least one business account, and two thirds of users agreeing that Instagram enables interactions with brands, Instagram Messaging is the perfect channel for engaging with those customers. Messaging is particularly valuable for the retail industry as convenient and conversational interactions can help consumers move quickly through the buying journey, converting browsing into sales.
As your Instagram audience continues to grow, so will their expectations for their inbox—they’ll be looking for the same level of service they get through your other contact channels. Whether it’s a casual product inquiry or a specific question about an order, businesses need to be confident they can deliver personalized support at scale through Instagram messaging. So how can you make that happen?
Launching soon: Messenger API for Instagram
