Native replies sync, and a work queue for your inbox
- 4 new
Replies you send from the Instagram app or Messenger now show up in the Social Inbox and count as answered. Plus: the post next to every comment, hide and delete through the API and your AI assistant, and a next-unanswered workflow.

- Replies from the native apps now sync to the inbox - answer a DM from the Instagram app or Messenger, or reply to a comment on Instagram or Facebook itself, and the reply shows up in the Social Inbox thread as your message. The customer's message counts as answered, so nobody on the team replies twice. Facebook Pages connected before today need a one-time reconnect under Settings -> Organisation -> Workspaces to pick up Messenger replies; Instagram works without a reconnect.
- The post next to every comment - comment and mention conversations now carry the post they belong to in the API, MCP, and SDKs: caption, image, a link to the post, and the media type. Your AI assistant sees the picture and the caption before it drafts a reply, so "what size is this?" gets a real answer.
- Hide and delete comments through the API and your AI assistant - the Hide and Delete buttons from the inbox are now in the public API (
POST /inbox/messages/{id}/hideandDELETE /inbox/messages/{id}) and as tools in ChatGPT, Claude, and any other MCP client (hide_inbox_comment,delete_inbox_comment). Hide covers Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads comments; delete covers Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. YouTube does not allow tools to delete other people's comments, so hide is the option there. Deleting also removes the replies under the comment. - A "next unanswered" work queue -
GET /inbox/next(in ChatGPT and Claude:get_next_unanswered) hands you the one item that has waited longest for an answer, together with the whole thread and the post it is on. Reply withinclude_nextand the next one comes back in the same response, so an assistant can work through the inbox in a loop: "answer my unanswered comments" now does exactly that. Marking a conversation read skips it for good, hidden comments drop out automatically, andGET /inbox/conversations?unanswered=truelists everything still waiting. Details in the inbox docs.
