**Short answer:** In the new menu, Instagram DM and Facebook DM are now Quick Automation, with an Instagram tab and a Facebook tab. Flows have their own menu item, Flow Automation. API & MCP is a button at the top right of Home. Team is in Account Settings, on the Team tab. New automations start from the New Automation button on Home.

InstantDM's web app has a new left menu. The first time you log in after the change, a "What's changed" slideshow explains it once. This page is the same map in one table.

## Old menu → new menu

| You used to click | Now click |
|---|---|
| **Instagram DM** (posts, stories, ads, next post) | **Quick Automation** → the **Instagram** tab (tooltip "Instagram") |
| **Facebook DM** | **Quick Automation** → the **Facebook** tab (tooltip "Facebook") |
| **Instagram DM** → **Flow Automation** tab | **Flow Automation** in the left menu → **New Flow Automation** |
| **Facebook DM** → **Flow Automation** tab | **Flow Automation** → **New Flow Automation** → **Facebook** |
| **Instagram DM** → **DM Insights** tab | **Quick Automation** → the chat-bubble tab (tooltip "DM Insights"), or the **DM Insights** panel on the right of **Home** |
| Quick DM keyword automations | **Quick Automation** → **Instagram** (or **Facebook**) → the **DM Automation** switch |
| Saved automations library | **Quick Automation** → the **Saved Libraries** tab |
| **API & MCP** | **Home** → **API & MCP** button at the top right |
| **Team** | **Account Settings** → **Team** tab → **Open Team settings** |
| Starting a new automation from a post | **Home** → **New Automation** (top right), or from a post in **Quick Automation** as before |

## What stayed the same

**Home**, **Later**, **Insights**, **Contacts**, **Automation Recovery**, **My Plan** and **Account Settings** are still in the left menu. The bottom of the menu still has **Need Help?**, your profile card (to switch accounts) and **Collapse Panel**.

The new left menu, top to bottom: **Home**, **Quick Automation**, **Flow Automation**, **Later**, **Insights**, **Contacts**, **Automation Recovery**, **My Plan**, **Account Settings**.

## What's new

- **New Automation** on Home walks you through three questions: When (**Comment to DM**, **Story to DM**, **DM Automation**), Where (which posts, stories or inbox) and What (**Send Link & PDF**, **Lead Gen** or **Flow Automation**). See [How do I set up my first automation?](https://instantdm.com/how-to/first-automation.md)
- The **Home** box "New automation" ("Pick when it should run") has the same three cards plus **Instagram Scheduling**, which opens **Later**.
- **Quick Automation** has icon tabs. Hover a tab to see its name: **Group Automation**, **Instagram**, **Facebook**, **Saved Libraries**, **DM Insights**.
- Inside the **Instagram** tab the categories are **Posts**, **Collabs**, **Stories**, **Live**, **Meta Ads** and **Next Post Automation**. The **Facebook** tab has no Collabs, Stories or Live.
- **Tour** at the top right of Home replays a 6-step tour.

## On the phone app

The phone app has its own layout and doesn't use this menu. It has Home → **Instagram**, **Facebook**, **Flows**, **Later** and the rest. See [What can I do in the InstantDM phone app?](https://instantdm.com/how-to/instantdm-phone-app.md)

## Good to know

- Nothing was deleted. Your automations, flows, contacts and settings are all still there.
- The **Settings** popup (from **Account Settings**) now has a **Team** tab next to **Safety & Limits**, **Automation**, **AI Configuration**, **Account** and **Integrations**.
- A settings card for Facebook Messenger says it "Runs automatically when you open Facebook DM". There is no Facebook DM page in the new menu. If Messenger replies don't work, click **Verify & activate** on that card in **Account Settings** → **Safety & Limits**.

## If it doesn't work

- **You still see Instagram DM in your menu**: your account is on the previous layout. The guides marked for the new menu will match once the update reaches you.
- **You can't find a setting**: most settings are in **Account Settings**. The whitelist and the on/off switches are on the **Automation** tab. Hourly limits and connections are on **Safety & Limits**.

## Questions people also ask

**Did my automations change?**

No. Only the menu moved. Your post, story, DM and flow automations are where they were, under new menu items.

**How do I see the tour again?**

Click Tour at the top right of Home. It replays the 6-step tour of the new layout.

**Does the phone app have the new menu?**

No. This new menu is for the web app at app.instantdm.com. The phone app has its own layout.
