Frequently Asked Questions

Will using automation get my account banned?
No. SociaHive uses official Instagram APIs (the same ones ManyChat and other approved tools use). We follow Instagram's Platform Policy and rate limits. Your account stays safe.
Does it work with Instagram Reels and Stories?
Yes. You can trigger automations from Story replies, Story mentions, and Reels comments. Story and Reel scheduling is coming soon.
How many DMs can it send per day?
Instagram's API allows sending messages to anyone who has messaged you first (within the 24-hour messaging window). There's no hard limit on replies, but we respect Instagram's rate limits automatically.
Can I collect emails and phone numbers in DMs?
Yes. Our data collection nodes let you ask for email, phone, name, and custom fields directly in the DM conversation. Data is exportable as CSV or Excel.
What's the difference between SociaHive and ManyChat?
SociaHive is a multi-platform automation tool (8 platforms) with built-in content scheduling (9 platforms), AI-powered replies, and appointment booking. ManyChat focuses primarily on Messenger and Instagram. See our comparison page for details.
Do I need a business or creator account?
Yes, Instagram automation requires a Business or Creator account connected via Facebook. Personal accounts don't have API access.
How much does it cost?
Instagram automation is included on every plan — the free plan covers one automation flow with 50 automated DMs/month, and paid plans start at $29/month (Creator tier). Creator includes 1 connected account, unlimited automated DMs, and 300 AI credits. Pro ($129/mo) adds 5 accounts and 3,000 credits.
Can I use it for my clients' accounts?
Yes. The Agency tier ($349/mo) supports up to 50 connected accounts, making it ideal for managing multiple client accounts from one dashboard.
