# Instagram collaboration enquiry template

Collaboration enquiries can get lost among audience questions. This recipe gives a brand, creator, or prospective guest a distinct route to share their proposal. Collect the basic topic and the contact information your team needs, then acknowledge the enquiry accurately. A submitted pitch is not a sponsorship agreement or a guarantee of a response by a specific time.

## Channel

Instagram: supported incoming interactions

## Setup

1. Define the necessary details

Choose the contact address, proposal topic, and campaign context your team needs first. Avoid asking for information you will not use.

2. Configure the intake flow

Use an incoming keyword journey and relevant collection fields. Explain who reviews the proposal and how they may follow up.

3. Test the review process

Submit a sample pitch and inspect the saved contact. Make sure a real team member can find the enquiry and continue personally.

## Example incoming request

COLLAB

## Sample reply to customise

Thanks for considering a collaboration. Which email should our team use, and what’s the campaign or idea?

## Next step

Save the proposal for review

An enquiry acknowledgement should not imply acceptance.

## Acknowledge without committing

Avoid promising a rate, availability, or accepted partnership before review. Keep agreements and commercial negotiations with the person responsible for them. Make the initial intake short and assign the proposals an owner so the organised record actually leads to a useful response.

## 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.

Replace all sample wording and destinations. This is a workflow plan, not an importable or already-published automation.
