Full FB and Instagram integration is needed

A full integration of Facebook as well as Instagram (with all types of comments on all posts and ads) are needed for any integration to make sense, at least in our company. Our goal is to gather all customer contact in one platform: Zendesk. This is important for our productivity, as well as compliant handeling of data and logins for our agents.
But unfortunately there are way too many limitations for a full integration to make sense at this moment, and we still have to handle the majority of the customer contact on theese platforms in Meta Business Suite. 

Current limitations are..
On FB:

Comments on regular FB wall-posts after 7 days is not supported

Ads created via dynamic ads is not supported 

On Instagram

Instagram stories and comments on theese can’t be integrated
Instagram-posts and comments on theese not supported
Instagram ads, and comments on theese not supported.



I really hope these issues will be addressed as soon as possible.
Can you give any indication on how theese issues are placed on your roadmap?

    Echoing Louise here, ideally we can provide full support to customers with these social integrations within Zendesk itself. Without comments on posts coming in as support tickets, this would require associates to split their time supporting customers via tickets from the Instagram Direct Channel integration and Meta Business Suite itself for comments. This is not an effective process for our team. 

    The issue with story reactions coming in as tickets, and also not being able to see the story a customer is replying to within the ticket interface, are other big limitations that would cut down on agent efficiency. This has been addressed here, but I don't see any follow-up from Zendesk support yet on potentials workarounds or fixes to this: https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/4445591860634-Trigger-and-attachment-needed-for-Instagram-Direct-stories-reactions

    Any advice or insights you can share would be helpful and very appreciated, thank you!
