End-to-end test: Account B (tester) sends a text DM to Account A (business connected in this app).

0. Developer — one-time setup

Meta → Roles → add Account B under Instagram Testers.
Meta → Webhooks → object Instagram → Callback URL: https://insta.ufanisi.net/webhooks/instagram Verify token = META_WEBHOOK_VERIFY_TOKEN in .env → subscribe messages + messaging_postbacks → Verify and save.
For real DMs (not only “Send to My Server”): app Live + Advanced Access on instagram_business_manage_messages.
Keep running: php artisan serve, php artisan queue:work, and ngrok (URL must match APP_URL).

Account A — business / inbox owner

Account must be Business or Creator.
Open this link and tap Log in with Instagram as Account A: https://insta.ufanisi.net/login
Approve all permissions (especially instagram_business_manage_messages).
Complete onboarding until you reach Messages.
Open Starters → review chips → Push to Instagram.
On Account A’s phone (Instagram app): open Message requests → Accept Account B’s chat if it appears there.
Wait for Account B’s message, then refresh Messages or run php artisan instagram:diagnose.

Account B — tester / sender

Developer adds Account B’s @username as Instagram Tester in Meta.
On B’s phone: Instagram → Settings and privacy → Website permissions → accept invite for this app.
B should be Business or Creator when possible.
In Instagram on a phone (not desktop): open DM with Account A — look for suggestion chips above the composer.
Tap a chip or send plain text (e.g. Test from B).
Do not use a random account that isn’t a tester. B does not need to open this login page.

Verify it worked

tail -f storage/logs/laravel.log → look for Instagram webhook received and stored inbound message.
Logged in as A → Messages shows the new thread.
If dashboard test works but B’s DM does not → check Live mode, webhook URL, and that B accepted the tester invite.
