Use SlideDM from Claude and ChatGPT

When you connect, the consent screen asks how much the assistant may do. Read only is preselected.

To move a connection from Read only to Read and take actions, disconnect it in SlideDM Settings and connect again. To go the other way, choose Switch to read only next to the connection in Settings. It applies on the assistant's next request. Turning off AI actions in Settings makes every connection in the workspace read only.

• Read only: the assistant can read your data and analytics. It cannot change anything, send DMs or reply to comments.
• Read and take actions: the assistant can also use the actions below. This choice appears only for Claude and ChatGPT, and only after a workspace owner turns on Allow AI assistants to take actions in SlideDM Settings under Connected AI apps.

Analytics work on both access levels. Days are counted in UTC.

• Performance summary: comments, automation runs, DMs sent, failed and skipped, replies, opening DMs, link clicks and leads for the last 7, 30 or 90 days, compared with the period before, plus your top automations and posts.
• Conversions: orders and revenue attributed to each automation, when conversion tracking is set up.
• Sentiment: how commenters feel and the top themes for each Instagram account, when sentiment analysis is on for your workspace.
• Bio page: views, link clicks and top links, on plans that include Bio pages.

With Read and take actions, the assistant can do the following. Most assistants ask you to confirm before an action runs. Each action works on one Instagram account; if your workspace has several, name the account.

Messages an assistant sends go out from your Instagram account under Meta's rules. You are responsible for what you approve. SlideDM refuses messages with blocked words, email addresses or phone numbers, and the same message sent to the same place twice within 10 minutes.

Instagram accounts you manage for a client cannot be used for actions.

• Pause or resume an automation. Automations paused by SlideDM support or for billing stay paused until support or billing is sorted out. Automations paused because Instagram limited the account in the last 72 hours stay paused until you resume them in SlideDM.
• Draft a comment to DM automation on a post or on any post. The assistant never launches it: open the link it gives you to review and launch it in SlideDM.
• Edit the trigger words, public reply, DM text, button or name of an automation. Pause a live automation before changing its DM text, public reply or button link.
• Links in messages and buttons must already be used in SlideDM and start with https: a domain your automations or bio page already use, your own bio page, or the exact short link or Google Docs, Forms or Drive link you already saved.
• Read the comments waiting in Reply Desk and reply to one in public from your Instagram account.
• Read your recent DM conversations and send a DM in one of them. Instagram delivers DMs only within 24 hours of the person's last message, so the assistant cannot start a conversation or message someone whose window has closed.
• Export leads as a one use download link that works for 15 minutes while you are signed in to SlideDM. The file with the email addresses and phone numbers your followers shared is downloaded by you in your browser. It is not sent to the assistant: only the link goes to the assistant. An export can optionally mark those leads as exported.

Limits are shared by every connection in a workspace. Instagram's own limits still apply: when Instagram is limiting your account, sends are refused until it recovers.

• 30 actions every 10 minutes.
• 20 comment replies every 10 minutes.
• Each day, resetting at midnight UTC: 20 automation changes, 100 comment replies, 100 DMs and 5 lead exports.
• 20 conversation lists every 10 minutes.
• Up to 1,000 leads in one export, 200 if you do not say how many.

Every action is logged. In SlideDM Settings under Connected AI apps, each connection shows its access level and its last 20 actions, including ones that failed. The log records the action and its target, including the Instagram username of the person you replied to or messaged, never the text of a message or the value of a lead. It is kept for 180 days.

The workspace owner gets an email the first time a connection takes an action, and every time leads are exported.

The connector is included with the Pro and Max plans. You need a Claude plan that supports custom connectors, or a ChatGPT plan that supports apps. See /pricing for SlideDM plans.

Only Claude and ChatGPT can connect. Other apps are refused on the consent screen.

Your SlideDM account needs a password, and only the workspace owner can connect a workspace. If you signed up with Google or an email code, set a password in SlideDM Settings first.

1. In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, and choose Add custom connector. If SlideDM is listed in the connector directory, you can add it from there instead.
2. Enter https://www.slidedm.app/api/mcp as the server URL and continue.
3. Sign in to SlideDM if asked. On the consent screen, check that you will return to claude.ai, pick the workspace to share, choose Read only or Read and take actions, and choose Allow.
4. Start a chat and ask about your automations, leads or posts.

1. In ChatGPT, open the apps directory and search for SlideDM, then choose Connect.
2. Sign in to SlideDM if asked. On the consent screen, check that you will return to chatgpt.com or openai.com, pick the workspace to share, choose Read only or Read and take actions, and choose Allow.
3. Mention SlideDM in a chat, or pick it from the tools menu, and ask your question.

Each connection works with exactly one workspace. To share a different one, disconnect the assistant in SlideDM Settings under Connected AI apps, then connect again and pick the other workspace.

Open SlideDM Settings, find Connected AI apps, and choose Disconnect next to the assistant. Access stops immediately and the assistant's tokens stop working. You can also remove the connector inside Claude or ChatGPT.

An assistant can read the Instagram usernames and comment text of people who commented on your posts, the usernames and recent message previews of people who messaged you, and the leads you captured, which include the email addresses and phone numbers your followers shared with you. Only connect assistants you trust. Data you ask for is sent to the assistant's provider and handled under its privacy policy. Section 4 of our /privacy policy explains what SlideDM records about connections and actions.
