Hi @INC, welcome to the Community!

 

It wont be possible to do this with Zapier because there’s not an Instagram action that allows you to send messages - sorry about that. 

 

We’re not able to build actions and triggers around direct messages in Instagram because Instagram’s API (the bit of code that allows third party apps to integrate with them) doesn’t allow it.

@INC Zapier doens't have this integration like said above, but if you need this you can always create some integration / system yourself. It requires a developer / team but could be worth it.

My team and me use programming languages to create online systems that Zapier doesn't provide (like you request above) and integrate these with Zapier.

 

Let me know if that helps you! If you like any additional support send me a message.

You can check what kind of integrations those apps have on the “Apps” page. For example, on the instagram integration: https://zapier.com/apps/instagram/integrations

Scroll down and you will find the Triggers / Actions it has
