Clearer Comment-to-DM docs, smoother media upload tool naming

Today's release brings a complete guide for turning Instagram comments into DMs, plus a safer transition for the media upload tool name:

  • Comment-to-DM guide: A new step-by-step guide covers the full flow for replying to Instagram comments with a private DM, from the comment.received webhook through to a working POST /v1/conversations request. It includes Instagram's rules (one private reply per comment, a 7-day window, text only), the account setup you need, a curl example with its response, a sample keyword auto-reply handler, how to continue the conversation once the commenter replies, and what each error status means for retries. It replaces having to piece the flow together from several separate pages.
  • Media upload tool renamed, old name still works: The tool for requesting a media upload URL is now called request_media_upload_url for clearer, more consistent naming. Clients still calling it by its old name, upload_media, keep working without any changes needed on your end.
