Instagram Integration
Sage + Instagram: Every DM a Sale.
Connect Sage to Instagram and turn every product question into a completed purchase. Product discovery, inventory queries, visual search, and checkout — all handled inside the DM thread.
What Sage Executes on Instagram
DM-Based Product Discovery
A customer DMs "Do you have this in red?" — Sage checks real-time inventory and responds with the exact variant inside the DM thread.
Buy-Links in DM
Sage sends a direct, pre-populated checkout link into the Instagram DM so the customer can purchase without leaving the app.
Real-Time Inventory Queries
Every product query is answered against live Shopify inventory. Sage never recommends an out-of-stock variant.
Order Tracking via DM
"Where is my order?" resolved instantly. Sage retrieves live carrier status and sends the tracking link directly in the DM.
Visual Search Handoff
Customer sends a photo of a product they want. Sage matches it to your catalog and surfaces the closest variants with a one-tap buy.
Cross-Channel Context Continuity
A shopper who browsed on your Shopify storefront is recognized when they DM on Instagram. Their cart, history, and preferences follow them.
Return Initiation via DM
Customers open a return request directly in the Instagram DM. Sage validates eligibility and sends the return label in the same thread.
Proactive DM Campaigns
Re-engage customers with back-in-stock notifications, post-purchase upsells, and personalized offers sent proactively via Instagram DM.
Deep Integration via Universal Adapters.
Sage uses a proprietary Universal Adapter layer to connect to Instagram via the Meta API. Zero technical debt, deployment in under 48 hours.
