Helpful DM replies

The same questions arrive every day. Answer them consistently.

A shopper may need to know where you deliver, what it costs, or how long an order usually takes.

This recipe shares your current shipping policy after a supported matching message.

Keep the answer general and factual.

Order status, address changes, and exceptions belong with your store or support team rather than a keyword reply guessing the customer’s details.

Recipe in 3 steps

Swap in your details, then test.

Replace the sample copy and links, then test the supported journey in your own account.

  1. Check your shipping policy

    Review current coverage, charges, estimates, and exceptions. Make sure the policy is accessible before the shopper reaches checkout.

  2. Choose the shipping request words

    Use DELIVERY or SHIPPING and test complete questions. Keep order-problem keywords routed to appropriate personal help.

  3. Write and test the answer

    Send the policy link and the real support route. Avoid asking for payment or private order details in any public thread.

Why it helps

Built for the inbox you actually have.

Prepared answers for the questions you already know, and a clear route to your team for the rest.

  • Keep policy details together

    A current delivery page can explain coverage, charges, and normal timeframes without a long, difficult-to-maintain message.

  • Separate order support

    Make it clear how someone can ask about an existing order. General shipping information should not pretend to track a parcel.

Before you switch it on

Avoid promises you cannot observe

A prepared answer should not invent a dispatch date or parcel status. Use the policy for general expectations and your order system for the actual shipment. Review the destination when rates or delivery areas change, especially before a seasonal promotion.

Campaign notes

Keep incoming message replies useful

  • Use the words people actually send, then choose a matching mode that suits the request. An exact campaign code and a broader question keyword serve different purposes. Test an expected request, a longer sentence, and an unrelated message. Review other active flows so the same incoming question does not produce several competing answers.

  • Prepared replies should answer known questions with information you maintain. They are not a reason to improvise product claims or make custom commitments. Leave a clear route to your team and respect the supported messaging window. If the destination changes, update and retest the reply before the next campaign.

Questions, answered.

Can this track a customer’s parcel?

No. The recipe shares your shipping information. Tracking and order-specific updates require your store’s actual order records and support process.

Do I need to write code?

No. Use Linkar’s supported builder options to choose the interaction, write your messages, and configure the next steps. Supply your own destinations and test the full journey. If you need help with an account or delivery issue, contact support.
