Get Started FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Is Instagram DM automation safe for my account?
Yes. LoopFuel connects through the official Meta Messenger API, which is the approved channel for automated Instagram messaging. Your account stays in good standing because you're using the platform exactly as Meta intended. Tools that use browser extensions or scrapers are unsafe. LoopFuel does neither.
Do I need a business Instagram account?
Yes. The Meta API requires an Instagram Business or Creator account connected to a Facebook Page. Switching from a personal account is free and takes about 30 seconds in your Instagram settings. Your followers, posts, and engagement history are preserved.
How much does it cost?
LoopFuel offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. Paid plans start at ₹499/mo (Creator) with flat-rate pricing. No per-contact fees, no per-message charges. You can pay in INR through UPI, Razorpay, or Indian debit/credit cards.
How long does setup take?
Most restaurant owners set up their first automation in under 10 minutes. Connect your Instagram account, create a keyword trigger, write your response, and you're live. No coding required.
Can I still respond manually when needed?
Absolutely. Automation handles the first response and common questions. Complex conversations, complaints, and custom requests get routed to your team through the unified inbox. The goal is to speed up your initial reply, not replace human interaction entirely.
