Story conversations
Stories start conversations. Answer while they’re warm.
Stories invite quick questions, but those questions can pile up while you are filming or serving customers.
A Story reply automation recognises a supported reply to your Story and sends the answer you wrote. Use a specific word for a discount, a booking page, or a resource so the response fits what the person saw and asked for.
3 step process
Set up the Story trigger and the reply.
Start with one clear request. Build the answer around the person who sent it.
Write the Story instruction
Tell viewers which word to reply with and what it delivers. Keep the instruction visible and simple enough to remember without watching the Story again.
Configure Story replies
Choose a Story reply trigger and matching words. Prepare the message with the offer details and a link that works on a phone.
Test alongside your DM flows
Send a Story reply from another account. Confirm the Story automation owns the response and your general DM answer does not add a confusing second message.
Example conversation
What the person on the other side sees.
Seen this lately?
tara.moves replied: DEAL
Then the reply lands.
Replied to your story
tara.moves: DEAL
Your reply:
Here’s the offer from today’s Story. The page has the full terms and end date.
Why it helps
Short-lived Stories, useful answers.
Story replies and mentions get a fitting answer while the moment is still fresh.
Catch the request in context
A reply to a Story is different from a mention in somebody else’s Story. Configure the appropriate trigger so each interaction gets the intended message.
Keep offers easy to reach
Share a destination directly in the conversation. Someone interested in the Story should not have to leave it and search for a changing bio link.
Make campaign words distinct
Use a recognisable word for each offer. A Story inviting DEAL should not activate an unrelated course or giveaway response.
Before you start
What you need to start

InstagramAn Instagram professional account
Business or Creator. Personal Instagram accounts are not supported.
A current offer for the Story

The free plan to start
5 automations and 1,000 messages a month. Features and limits depend on the plan.
No code
Choose the interaction, write the reply, and test it from another account.
Before you switch it on
Retire temporary offers
Stories may be saved as highlights, and a viewer can encounter an old instruction. Keep destinations current or disable the expired flow. In the reply, state any deadline and link to the terms. A request for an offer is an opening for that information, not permission to send an unlimited sequence of unrelated messages.
Campaign notes
Choose the right Story interaction
A Story reply is a response to your own Story. A Story mention arrives when another person includes your account in theirs. These interactions deserve separate triggers and wording. Use a specific request word for an offer, and a short acknowledgement for a mention. Supported event availability can depend on account and privacy context.
Stories and highlights can outlive a promotion. Keep the offer destination current and remove expired instructions. A mention does not automatically establish permission to reuse a customer’s content; ask and review that separately. Test from another account, including any general DM flows that may also match the incoming interaction.
Questions, answered.
Short answers about accounts, plans and setup. If your question is not covered here, our support team can help.
Can the same flow thank people who tag me?
Use the Story mention trigger for that. A Story reply responds to your own Story; a Story mention arrives when another person includes your account in theirs. Separate the two so a thank-you does not send an irrelevant offer.
