What you need before you connect
Updated Oct 14, 2026
A few things to have ready, so connecting takes about a minute.
Your checklist
- A Google account to sign in to Auto Reply.
- An Instagram account or a Facebook Page that you own or are allowed to manage.
- The ability to approve access in a Meta window. If Meta asks you to switch an Instagram account to a professional account first, do that and then try again.
- For the free trial, at least 100 followers and 9 posts on that account.
How connecting works
We connect your accounts through our connection provider. You approve access in a Meta window, then pick the account inside Auto Reply. The Meta window shows the name of our provider’s app, and that is expected.
What it costs
A connected account costs $4 a month for the first, $3 for accounts 2 to 5 and $2 from the 6th. An account you add part way through the month is charged for the days left. The free trial covers one account. How Credits work
