Resources and enquiries

Good leads start with a clear question. Ask it in the DM.

An interested person should know why you are asking for their email and what happens next.

Linkar can collect an address inside a supported Instagram conversation, validate its format, and save it with the contact.

You can prepare a confirmation and configure a fulfilment email for the promised resource.

Keep that resource request separate from permission for future promotional mail.

3 step process

Set up the enquiry journey.

Start with one clear request. Build the answer around the person who sent it.

Create your first replySee plans

  1. Prepare the resource

    Host the promised file or page at a stable URL. Test its access without your own logged-in session so a new subscriber can actually open it.

  2. Configure the email question

    Write the prompt, retry, and confirmation. Ask only for additional fields you need, and provide a polite way to stop the questions.

  3. Check delivery end to end

    Try a malformed address followed by a valid test address. Confirm the contact is saved correctly and any configured delivery email contains the expected resource.

Why it helps

Enquiries that are ready to continue.

Collect only what helps, and keep it beside the conversation it came from.

  1. Explain the exchange

    Tell people exactly what their address is for. A guide delivery, event joining link, and ongoing newsletter are different purposes and deserve different wording.

  2. Handle simple mistakes

    A retry prompt helps someone correct an address that does not have a valid format. Write it kindly so a typo does not feel like a failed transaction.

  3. Preserve the enquiry

    Save the address alongside relevant answers. Your team can follow up with context rather than an anonymous spreadsheet row detached from the conversation.

Sure. Which email should we send it to? We’ll use it to deliver this checklist.

Before you switch it on

Collect less, explain more

Every extra question adds friction. Start with the address and one relevant question only if needed. State newsletter consent separately when you intend to send future campaigns. Linkar’s address format validation does not verify mailbox ownership, and a saved email alone does not prove someone opted into every type of marketing.

Campaign notes

Collect the details that help your next reply

  • Explain the purpose before asking for an email or an additional answer. Linkar can validate an address’s format and save configured conversational fields with a contact. Format validation does not prove mailbox ownership. A short intake should give your team relevant context, while retry and exit messages keep the process understandable.

  • A saved address is not blanket permission for recurring marketing. Keep requested resource delivery and newsletter enrolment distinct, and test any external handoff you configure. Collect only the information needed for the enquiry. Review the completed record and fulfilment step yourself before calling the campaign a working lead journey.

Questions, answered.

Short answers about accounts, plans and setup. If your question is not covered here, our support team can help.

Does a saved email automatically join my newsletter?

Email collection saves the address in Linkar. Any newsletter enrolment needs your chosen process and appropriate permission. The page should explain that process; do not assume requesting a single resource authorises unrelated recurring email.

Can I try Linkar for free?

Yes. Start with 5 automations and 1,000 messages per month on the free plan. Features and limits depend on the plan and connected account. Compare the current plans before choosing a larger setup.
