Overview
What Instagram is
Instagram is the distribution channel rather than the content-generation model. Its platform APIs support eligible Business and Creator account operations, including publishing, messaging, comments, mentions, and insights. An AI workflow can prepare media or reply suggestions before an authorized publishing step.
For a first workflow, create content and confirm rights, claims, and branding. Use a supported professional account and the required app permissions. Check the media, caption, and target account before publication.
