Which countries does the retailer lookup cover?

Get Nearby Retailers accepts United States and Canada postal codes and returns the retailers available there for delivery or pickup, such as Safeway, Walmart or Publix. Outside those two countries Lyro has no coverage data to work from.

Can Lyro tie a shopping list to a specific store?

Yes. Get Nearby Retailers returns a retailer_key for each store, and that key is accepted by Create Shopping List Page and Create Recipe Page, so the page Lyro sends opens against the retailer the customer chose rather than a generic store picker.

Does Lyro place the Instacart order itself?

No. Every action here produces a shareable Instacart URL; the customer selects their store and completes checkout on Instacart. There is no order-placement, pricing or stock-lookup action in this toolkit, so Lyro never quotes a price it cannot see.

When should Lyro send a recipe page instead of a recipe link?

A recipe link goes straight to the ingredient shopping list for one-click purchase. A recipe page is a public page showing the recipe with ingredients, instructions and an image plus store selection, which is the better one to share by email or SMS or embed on a site.

Send a shoppable list scoped to a store that delivers

How it works

Get started in 3 steps

Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Lyro reads the Instacart actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.

01
Connect Instacart
Authorize the Instacart account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Lyro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.
02
Tell your agent what you need
Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Lyro maps it to the Instacart actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.
03
Watch it work
The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.
