Helpful DM replies

You’ve answered this DM before. Let the answer go out again.

This recipe responds to a person sending your giveaway word in a supported DM.

Share the official rules and accurately describe whether the message completes an entry or records interest for further review. Eligibility, duplicate entries, winner selection, and prize fulfilment need your actual campaign process. An automatic reply should never invent a winner or imply a prize has been awarded.

  1. Publish the actual rules

    Prepare the campaign requirements, dates, selection process, and contact route. Confirm the reply will describe the real entry status.

  2. Configure the DM keyword

    Choose GIVEAWAY or a distinct campaign word. Write the acknowledgement and link to the official rules.

  3. Test status wording

    Try the expected request and a repeat message. Make sure the response does not imply extra entries or completed eligibility checks that your process has not performed.

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.

  1. Rules beside the acknowledgement

    Send a maintained rules destination with dates, requirements, and how the winner is selected. The person should not have to guess the process.

  2. A distinct campaign word

    Use a giveaway-specific keyword so normal product enquiries do not accidentally become entry acknowledgements.

Before you switch it on

Be clear about what the message proves

An acknowledgement shows the flow responded; it does not establish eligibility or random winner selection. Keep the official campaign process responsible for those steps. Review duplicate-entry handling and close the automation when the campaign ends so older content does not invite invalid participation.

Campaign notes

Keep incoming message replies useful

Download the recipe planA Markdown copy of this recipe to keep with your campaign notes.

  • 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.

Will Linkar choose a giveaway winner?

This recipe sends your prepared reply. Winner selection and prize management belong to your campaign process. Do not describe the message workflow as a random draw or eligibility checker.

Can I try Linkar for free?

Yes. Start with 5 automations and 1,000 messages per month on the free plan. Features and limits depend on the plan and connected account. Compare the current plans before choosing a larger setup.
