Social Link Feature

The Social Link Feature (“Feature”) is designed to enhance the user experience by automating replies and Instagram Direct Messages (DMs) with product links in response to comments on users’ posts.

Meta Permissions

Before accessing specific endpoints for app user data, the application must receive consent from the app user to obtain all necessary permissions associated with that particular endpoint.

To enable the full functionality of the Feature, the Company has requested the following Meta permissions:
  • pages_show_list: Authorization to access a list of pages managed by the user.
  • pages_manage_metadata: Permission to manage metadata for pages administered by the user.
  • instagram_manage_comments: Authority to manage and respond to comments on Instagram posts.
  • business_management: Access required for handling business-related functionalities.
  • instagram_manage_messages: Permission to manage Direct Messages on Instagram.
  • instagram_basic: Essential access to basic Instagram account information.


Granting these Meta permissions is necessary for the seamless operation of the Link-Lo Feature.

User Control

Users have the right to cancel or disable the Feature at any time. Canceling the Feature will result in the revocation of the granted Meta permissions associated with it. The activation and use of the Feature are entirely optional. Users retain the discretion to choose whether or not to enable the Feature. By choosing to activate and use the Feature, users expressly agree to the terms outlined in this document, including the granting of Meta permissions. Users acknowledge the optional nature of the Feature and affirmatively consent to the Company’s access to the specified Meta permissions for the purpose of Feature functionality.
