How to manage multiple Instagram accounts at once

Let’s get straight to it – NapoleonCat is a social media management app that, amongst other things, lets you manage multiple Instagram accounts from one place. Imagine being able to:

  • Manage all your Instagram messages and comments from multiple accounts using one dashboard
  • Set up different automatic replies to comments based on keywords that you define (ads included)
  • Automatically hide or delete comments based on keywords of your choice (ads included)
  • Schedule posts for multiple Instagram accounts at once
  • Schedule in-depth analytics reports for your Instagram accounts
  • Analyze the performance of your accounts
  • Spy on your competitors on Instagram

In short, it’s comments moderation and auto-moderation, bulk-scheduling, analytics, and reports – all in one place. Let me break it down for you.

How to manage comments and messages for multiple Instagram accounts

If you need to manage comments and DMs across multiple Instagram profiles, or you’re wondering what’s the easiest way to manage comments for a large Instagram account, the Social Inbox should fit your needs perfectly. Here’s how it works.

The Inbox is where you’ll find all the comments from your organic posts and Instagram Ads as well. It’s all located in one simple stream, one dashboard, all ready for your moderation.

And now, you can also manage your Instagram DMs, which is a huge advantage:

Of course, you don’t want to be overwhelmed with all those social interactions. You can e.g., set your filters to show comments only for specific accounts of your choice.

You can also set a custom time frame to see all the interactions from that specific time.

From the Inbox, you can easily manage all your comments – you can reply to them, delete them, or even hide them.

Hiding specific comments of your choice is something that is not even available in the Instagram app, but the Inbox solves that problem.

Bear in mind that the Inbox also works for other social platforms – you can manage multiple social media accounts from Facebook, Messenger, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Google My Business.

Manage multiple Instagram accounts in a team

You can work on moderating Instagram comments and DMs in a team. You can assign tickets to other team members, leave notes under specific comments and DMs (e.g., with some additional information), or send them for consultation via email or phone.

Moreover, each member of the team will see what others are doing in the Inbox, in real time. This way, no one will answer the same comment or message twice, and your work won’t overlap with others.

Can you translate Instagram comments and messages?

The Inbox has a built-in Translations feature. If you receive Instagram comments or DMs in a foreign language, you’ll find that feature super useful. Translations work in over 100 languages that Google Translate supports. 

With only one click, you can translate any Instagram message or comment and then reply in the language of the person you’re addressing as well.
