Helpful DM replies
You’ve answered this DM before. Let the answer go out again.
This recipe gives a new contact a concise introduction after their first supported incoming interaction.
Explain what your account helps with and share one useful starting point.
Keep the greeting short enough to leave room for the visitor’s question.
It is a first-message welcome, rather than an unsolicited DM to everyone who follows you.
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.
Choose first contact
Create a first-message welcome on Instagram. Review any general DM flow already active on the account.
Replace the introduction
Use your actual account purpose and a maintained resource destination. Offer a way to ask a person for help when appropriate.
Test new and returning contacts
Try the greeting from a fresh contact, then message again. Confirm the welcome and other replies work together sensibly.
Why it helps
Familiar questions, careful answers.
Prepared answers for the questions you already know, and a clear route to your team for the rest.
An introduction with a purpose
Tell the visitor what they can find here. One relevant link is usually clearer than a long list of offers.
Respect the next visit
Test a returning contact so your setup does not keep treating the same person as new whenever they ask a question.

Before you switch it on
Do not start with a form
Someone saying hello may be exploring. A clear introduction is enough before you ask for detailed information. Check overlapping welcome and keyword flows so a specific pricing question receives its useful answer instead of several disconnected messages.
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.
Short answers about accounts, plans and setup. If your question is not covered here, our support team can help.
Does this send a DM when somebody follows?
No. Following alone does not trigger this Linkar recipe. The welcome follows the person’s first supported incoming interaction with the connected account.
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.
