## What you can do

Connect this agent connector to let your agent:

- **Get user, oembed, media insights** — Get an Instagram Business/Creator account's profile info (username, bio, follower count, media count, etc.)
- **List tagged media, stories, recently searched hashtags** — List media where the connected Instagram professional account has been photo-tagged by other accounts
- **Send sender action, message, message attachment** — Send a typing indicator or mark-as-seen signal in an Instagram Direct conversation
- **Publish media** — Step 2 of the Instagram publish flow: publish a previously created media container (from instagram_media_container_create) to the account's feed
- **Create media container, comment reply, comment private reply** — Step 1 of the Instagram publish flow: create a media container (image, video, reel, or carousel item) from a source URL
- **Search hashtag** — Look up an Instagram hashtag by name to get its hashtag ID
