    Hi Joao! 

    You cannot delete Instagram direct messages from within the Sprinklr platform due to an API limitation, so you must delete them natively through the Instagram app or website. To delete a message or chat from both sides of the conversation, you must use the "Unsend" option in the native Instagram app for messages you've sent. If you try to delete a message in Sprinklr and it fails, it's a platform limitation, not a glitch; delete the message directly on Instagram instead. 


    How to Delete a Message or Chat on Instagram (Natively)

    • Open the Instagram app or website: and go to your Direct Messages. 
    • Find the conversation: you want to delete the message from. 
    • Tap and hold: the message you want to remove. 

    Choose an option:

    • Unsend: Deletes the message from both your chat and the recipient's chat. This only works if the recipient hasn't opened it yet. 
    • Delete for you: Deletes the message only from your own chat, while it remains visible to the other person. 

    To delete an entire conversation, go back to your inbox, tap and hold the conversation, then select "Delete" to confirm. 

    Hope this helps!

    Hello everyone,I'm interested in integrating Sprinklr with Power BI to personalize my information. However, I haven't been able to find any documentation on the API itself. The only resources I came across were third-party platforms that require a fee for this integration. Has anyone successfully in

    Good morning, I am wondering if it is possible to add music or audio to an Instagram post. When I upload/schedule, I use the Quick Publish widget and I don't see it there. If it is currently not possible, I think it would be a really neat tool!

    Hi Everyone! I wanted to share a success story we published a few weeks back with Deutsche Telekom. They're rolling out Sprinklr Service in their contact centers across Europe — they have a couple hundred agents already onboarded and expect to have 40k+ once the project is fully implemented. I loved

    Estou criando uma apresentação e não entendo como ela está classificando por Classificar por. Seria possível ordenar alfabeticamente, ou criar alguma regra para esta ordenação?
