Resources and enquiries

Interest fades fast. Capture it inside the chat.

A portfolio post can bring enquiries that all start with ‘rates?’.

Before you can quote, you may need the shoot type, timing, and location. Linkar can send your package overview and collect a few project details so the next conversation is useful. Keep date availability and custom pricing with the photographer rather than promising a booking from a prepared message.

3 step process

How the enquiry journey comes together.

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

  1. Prepare a maintained brochure

    Include package scope, exclusions, and how to request a quote. Host it at a link that a prospective client can open without special access.

  2. Build the enquiry intake

    Choose the request word and write a useful first answer. Configure only the details you need to begin a conversation.

  3. Review before committing

    Test the saved enquiry and contact details. Confirm your team can check scheduling and requirements before sharing a final quotation or booking confirmation.

Why it helps

Enquiries that are ready to continue.

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

Share the right package overview

Separate weddings, portraits, and commercial work when their offers differ. A visitor interested in a product shoot should not receive a wedding brochure.

Collect project context

Ask for the shoot type and preferred timing where relevant. Explain that the enquiry still needs review before availability is confirmed.

Keep the personal consultation

Creative briefs and custom quotations deserve a person. Use the automated flow to prepare that discussion, not to invent a price.

Example conversation

One enquiry, followed through.

Before you start

What you need to start

Four things and no developer. With these ready, you can build this workflow and test it from another account.

Setup checklist

Instagram
  • An Instagram professional account

    Business or Creator. Personal Instagram accounts are not supported.

  • A reason for every detail you ask

    Explain why you need an email or an answer before you ask for it.

  • 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

Show what a starting price means

If a package starts at a certain price, explain its included scope on the destination page. Keep travel, usage rights, and custom deliverables clear. A photographer should review the brief before committing to a quote; automation is a way to collect that brief without repeatedly typing the same introduction.

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 an automated reply confirm a date is free?

Only your actual scheduling process can establish availability. Use Linkar to collect the request or send a booking page, then let that process confirm the session. Do not claim a slot is reserved simply because the person sent a DM.

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.
