Parameters

Direct Instagram Login uses the Instagram Professional account id and an Instagram User token. Existing Facebook-backed connections keep the Page route and Page token. This is a reply surface, not cold outreach: the recipient must have initiated contact and Meta's messaging-window and policy rules apply.
