Why it matters

Keep direct messages from getting lost in notifications

When Instagram becomes a sales channel, replying from one mobile account makes ownership and continuity difficult. Lippem moves direct messages into a workspace with history, status, and follow-up.

Team inbox

Authorized teammates can handle Instagram Direct without sharing the account password.

Visible context

Review history before replying and preserve continuity when ownership changes.

AI agents

Use business knowledge and response confidence to automate within defined boundaries.

Workflows

Classify, assign, and trigger next steps from messages received by the professional account.
