# Instagram DM & Messenger

Instagram DM and Facebook Messenger are Meta’s native messaging platforms that enable real-time interactions between brands and users directly from their social media profiles, stories, ads, and shop listings.

These channels are often the first point of contact for D2C and service brands, making them crucial for lead generation, customer engagement, and post-sale support.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.quickreply.ai/product-modules/integrations/available-integrations/social/instagram-dm-and-messenger.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
