The N-SHOES Instagram Bot: Benefits and Features of Our Direct Assistant

An assistant bot works in the Direct messages of our official @nextshoes2009 page. Around the clock it shows prices and in-stock sizes straight from the catalogue, finds your size by foot length, takes orders in the chat, checks your parcel status and, when needed, hands the conversation to a real manager.

Chatbots on Instagram: encyclopedia entry

Chatbot

A chatbot is a program that chats with a person in a messenger: it recognises the request, answers according to set scenarios and, when needed, hands the conversation to a staff member. In retail, chatbots answer common questions about products, stock, delivery and payment.

Bots in Instagram Direct

Meta lets professional Instagram accounts connect apps to Direct through its official messaging interface. The account owner turns on message access, and the app receives permissions from Meta. The bot only sees messages sent to the account and has no access to your personal chats.

The 24-hour rule

A business account can reply automatically within 24 hours of a customer's last message. That's why the bot answers your requests but doesn't send mailings you didn't ask for.

Quick questions and menu

At the start of a new chat, Instagram shows up to four quick questions set by the business, and a persistent menu holds the main actions. You can start a conversation with one tap, without typing.

Replying to a comment in Direct

A business can send the author of a comment one private message in reply to that specific comment. The price and sizes reach you personally, and the comments under the post stay tidy.

Safety

The official N-SHOES bot works only on the @nextshoes2009 account. It never asks for your card number, CVV or SMS codes, and it shows an order status only by order number and the last digits of your phone.

Questions and answers

Does the bot reply at night?

Yes, the bot works around the clock. If your question needs a person, a manager will reply during store hours.

How do I talk to a real person?

Tap "Manager" in the menu. While a manager is chatting, the bot stays out for 12 hours; type "menu" to return to the bot.

What if the bot doesn't understand me?

After two unrecognised messages in a row, the bot hands the conversation to a manager.

Is it safe to share my phone in the chat?

Your phone is only needed to place an order. The bot never asks for card details, CVV or SMS codes — if someone does, it isn't N-SHOES.

Is the bot on other messengers?

Yes. The same assistant replies in Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp, and our Telegram bot is @nshoes_bot. A manager sees all conversations in one window.

Message us in Direct

Send an article number, your foot length or just "Hi" — the bot will reply in seconds.
