Instagram · Enquiry in a conversation
Resources and enquiries
Ask for the details while they’re still talking to you.
Coaching enquiries often begin with a broad question: ‘How does it work?’
Before offering a call, you may need to explain your programme and understand what the person wants help with.
Linkar can share your overview and collect a few relevant details in the conversation.
Keep personal recommendations with the coach; the automation prepares the enquiry rather than making promises about somebody’s results.
3 step process
How the enquiry journey comes together.
Start with one clear request. Build the answer around the person who sent it.
Prepare the overview
Create a clear destination for your programme details and booking process. Keep claims factual and check the page works well on mobile.
Create an enquiry flow
Choose a keyword such as COACHING, write an introduction, and configure the relevant questions. Explain any email collection and how the team uses it.
Continue personally
Review the answers before a call or a human reply. Test the booking link and keep the automation from making a commitment your coach has not reviewed.
Why it helps
Enquiries that are ready to continue.
Collect only what helps, and keep it beside the conversation it came from.
Explain the programme once
Send a maintained overview covering format, timing, and who the programme serves. That helps interested people decide whether a conversation makes sense.
Ask a useful opening question
Collect the goal or programme interest your team needs first. Avoid demanding a long personal history before the person can see what you offer.
Share the actual booking page
Send your existing appointment link. Availability, confirmations, and changes stay with that booking system rather than being assumed from a DM.

Before and after
A name is not a lead. Context is.
With Linkar
Ask, explain, save.
- The purpose explained before you ask
- Email format checked inside the conversation
- Configured answers saved with the contact
- Retry and exit messages when someone stops
Before you switch it on
Use qualification to help, not exclude blindly
A short intake should prepare a relevant conversation. Remove questions that do not change the next step, and avoid collecting sensitive health or financial details in a general campaign. Clarify that a link opens the booking page; an automatic reply alone does not reserve a session.
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.
Can Linkar conduct the coaching session?
No. It handles supported messages and collection steps you configure. Coaching, personalised guidance, and decisions about the service remain with your team. The workflow is an introduction and intake, not a replacement for professional judgement.
Which account do I need?
Connect an Instagram professional account, either Business or Creator. Check the capabilities available to that account and use a supported incoming interaction. Personal Instagram accounts are not supported for these automation journeys.
