Verifying Your IG Connection
How to Confirm Your Connection
1. Finish Connecting via Settings
- Log in and go to Settings → Account → Connect Apps.
- If your IG account shows a “Connected” status, permissions were granted successfully.
2. Check Permissions on Instagram
Instagram should show Lihat.ai as an authorized app able to:
- Read and monitor comments
- Send direct messages on your behalf. These permissions are essential for the platform to function.
3. Test the Integration
- Post a test message on Instagram with your chosen keyword.
- Comment on that post using the keyword from a separate account.
- Check if Lihat.ai
Detects the comment
Send the correct DM template you've set up. Successful automation confirms a fully verified connection.
4. Monitor Comment & DM Activity
In your dashboard analytics, you should start seeing:
- Comment counts
- “DM Sent” and “Read” statuses. This tracking confirms that the comment-to-DM pipeline is active.
Summary
To verify your Instagram connection:
- Ensure the status shows as Connected in Lihat.ai Settings
- Confirm permissions are granted on Instagram
- Run a test comment and check for automated DM
- Validate analytics are updating for comments and DM deliveries
Once verified, you're ready to run full automation campaigns with confidence. Need help testing your first trigger? Just let me know!
