# Manage your Instagram automation   
by asking ChatGPT or Claude

Connect Reachlee once and your assistant can do the work you'd do in the dashboard: tell you which reel drove the most link clicks, set up a comment-to-DM on your latest post, pause an automation, or draft replies that go out only after you approve. It works for Instagram accounts and Facebook Pages, on every plan.

## Can ChatGPT or Claude manage my Instagram DM automation?

Yes. Reachlee has an AI connector that links ChatGPT, Claude and other assistants to your account. After you sign in and click Allow, the assistant can read your analytics, automations, conversations and leads, create or change comment-to-DM automations, pause and resume them, message past commenters and reply in open conversations. Anything that sends a message shows a preview and waits for your confirmation. It is included on every plan.

1In ChatGPT, find Reachlee in the plugin directory, connect it and start a message with @Reachlee. In Claude, add Reachlee as a connector.

2You sign in with the Google account you use for Reachlee and approve what the assistant may do: read, manage automations, send replies.

3It works across every Instagram account and Facebook Page you can open in Reachlee, which makes one-question reports possible.

4The assistant follows the same rules as the app: replies only inside Meta's 24-hour window, and nobody is messaged first.

## Things you can ask

Copy any of these into ChatGPT (start with @Reachlee) or Claude after connecting. Change the handle, keyword and link to yours.

1. Give me a report for the last 7 days across all my accounts: DMs, clicks, reply rate and follower change, and tell me which account did best.

2. Which of my reels had the highest click rate this month? Show the top five with links.

3. On @yourbrand, set up a comment-to-DM on my latest post. Keyword GUIDE. Send https://yourbrand.com/guide with the button label Open the guide, and reply publicly "Sent you a DM!"

4. My LINK automation sent almost nothing yesterday. Why?

5. Who asked about pricing in the last 24 hours? Draft a reply for each and send after I approve.

6. Pause every live automation on @yourbrand.

7. People commented GUIDE on that reel for a week before I set this up. Can we send them the link?

8. List the leads captured this week with email and phone, grouped by account.

How it works

## Connect it in about a minute.

01

### Add Reachlee to your assistant

ChatGPT: open Plugins, search for Reachlee and connect it. Claude: add Reachlee as a custom connector with the address in the setup docs. Claude Code, Cursor and Gemini CLI use the same address.

02

### Sign in and click Allow

A Reachlee page opens in your browser. Sign in with Google, check what the assistant is asking to do, and click Allow. There is no key to create or paste.

03

### Ask in plain words

Describe what you want. With several accounts, name one, such as "on @yourbrand", or let the assistant list them first. In ChatGPT, begin with @Reachlee.

What's inside

## What the assistant can do for you.

Sixteen tools in four groups. You never call them by name.

01

### Reports across every account

DMs sent, comments replied, link clicks, reply rate and follower change for any range, and posts or automations ranked by click rate.

02

### Automations by sentence

Create a comment-to-DM on your latest post, a post link, every post or your next post, with keywords, the DM, a button and a public reply, live or as a draft.

03

### Edit, copy, pause, delete

Change keywords, messages, links or posts, duplicate an automation as a draft, pause or resume it, or delete it after a preview.

04

### Message past commenters

Retrigger shows how many past commenters are eligible first. Nothing is sent until you agree, and Reachlee paces the sends. Retrigger is a Pro feature.

05

### Read and reply to DMs

The assistant reads recent conversations and says whether the 24-hour window is open. A reply is shown to you as a preview and sent only after you confirm.

06

### Leads on request

List the contacts who shared an email or phone number, filtered by account or search.

## What stays under your control

Connecting an assistant doesn't hand over your account. You choose the permissions at sign-in, every change is one you asked for, and messages wait for your yes. The connector uses the same send path as the Reachlee app, so Meta's rules and your plan's limits apply in the same way.

* Three permissions that you grant at sign-in: read, manage automations, and send replies.
* Replies and Retrigger return a preview first and act only after you confirm.
* Settings, then AI apps, lists each connected app with when it was last used. Disconnect revokes it at once.
* Nobody who hasn't written to you first can be messaged, by you or by the assistant.

FAQ

## Managing Reachlee from an assistant, answered.

Is Reachlee available inside ChatGPT?

Yes. Reachlee has been listed in ChatGPT's plugin directory since 27 October 2026\. Connect it from Plugins, sign in to Reachlee to approve access, and start a message with @Reachlee.

[Connect ChatGPT](/docs/ai-connector/connect-chatgpt/)

Does it work with Claude?

Yes. Add Reachlee as a custom connector in Claude on desktop or the web, sign in and click Allow. Claude Code, Cursor and Gemini CLI can connect too.

[Connect Claude](/docs/ai-connector/connect-claude/)

Can the assistant send DMs without asking me?

No. A reply in a conversation and a Retrigger both come back as a preview first, with the recipient and the message, and go out only after you confirm.

[Permissions and security](/docs/ai-connector/permissions-and-security/)

Can it message people who never contacted me?

No. The connector follows the same rules as the app: replies only within 24 hours of the person's last message, and no first-contact messages.

Do I need a paid plan or an API key?

Neither. The connector is included on every plan and you sign in with Google. Tools follow your workspace's plan, so a feature that needs Pro in the app needs Pro here too.

Does it work with Facebook Pages?

Yes. Reports cover Instagram accounts and Facebook Pages, and the assistant can create a comment automation on a Page post as well as on an Instagram post.

How do I disconnect an assistant?

Open Settings, then AI apps, in Reachlee and click Disconnect next to the app. Access ends immediately and the assistant has to ask you to connect again.
