Meta app

IMPORTANT — publish the Meta app (Live mode). Webhook verification can succeed while the app is still in Development, but Instagram Direct Messages are not delivered to Odoo until the app is published (switched to Live). Without Live mode you will see an integrated webhook and no inbound POSTs, and no Discuss channels. Do this before expecting real DMs to work. App Review / Advanced Access is also required for permissions that serve Instagram accounts the app does not own.

1. Use an Instagram professional account (Business or Creator).

2. Create a Meta app at developers.facebook.com/apps and add the Instagram Login product.

3. Request instagram_business_basic and instagram_business_manage_messages. Advanced Access is required to serve Instagram accounts the app does not own.

4. Publish the app (Development → Live). This step is mandatory for messaging delivery; skip it and inbound DMs will never arrive.

Odoo gateway

1. Enable developer mode, then go to Settings > Technical > Email > Gateway. (Technical is visible only in the developer mode.)

2. Create a gateway of type Instagram.

3. Fill in:

   • Token: Instagram user access token (sent as Authorization: Bearer).

   • Webhook Secret: Meta app secret (HMAC key for X-Hub-Signature-256). Copy it from the Meta app Settings > Basic > App Secret.

   • Instagram Security Key: a string you choose. You will enter the same value in Meta as the webhook verify token (hub.verify_token).

   • Instagram Account: professional account IGID used in the send URL.

   • Instagram Version: Graph API version without the v prefix (default 26.0).

   • Webhook Key: URL path segment of your choice. It becomes part of the webhook URL.

   • Webhook User: user that creates inbound messages.

   • Members: Discuss users who join new conversations.

4. Save. Webhook Key and Webhook User must be set or the Integrate Webhook button stays hidden.

5. Press Integrate Webhook on the gateway form (header). The state becomes pending. Meta’s verification GET is only accepted in this state.

6. Open the Instagram configuration tab on the same form. Copy Webhook URL. Odoo builds it as https://<your-odoo-host>/gateway/instagram/<webhook_key>/update. You do not get this URL from Meta.

The same Webhook URL field on the main form group is visible only in the developer mode. Use the tab; that copy is for operators.

Meta webhook

1. In the Meta app, open the Instagram Login product’s webhook / callback settings.

2. Callback URL: paste the Webhook URL copied from Odoo.

3. Verify token: paste the same string as Instagram Security Key.

4. Subscribe the ``messages`` field only.

5. Meta sends a GET to Odoo. On success the gateway state becomes integrated.

The webhook endpoint must be publicly reachable over HTTPS. Self-signed certificates are not accepted by Meta.

24-hour messaging window

Instagram only allows the professional account to message a user after that user has messaged it, and only for 24 hours after the user’s last message. Replies from Discuss outside that window are rejected by Meta. Anything that must be sent later has to go through another channel. A human-agent tag that extends the window is listed on the module roadmap and is not implemented here.
