Helpful DM replies
The same questions arrive every day. Answer them consistently.
This recipe starts with an incoming offer request and adds a short timed check-in to a supported DM flow.
The follow-up should offer help with the original request. Delivery depends on messaging eligibility and opt-out status at the scheduled time. A configured delay is not a permission to contact someone after the supported window closes.
Recipe in 3 steps
Copy the recipe, then make it fit.
Replace the sample copy and links, then test the supported journey in your own account.
Prepare the requested offer reply
Use an incoming DM keyword and a maintained destination. Make the first message useful without relying on the later nudge.
Write one short check-in
Choose a sensible delay within the intended journey. Offer help, avoid false urgency, and keep any destination consistent with the first reply.
Test send and skip behaviour
Review the scheduled follow-up in a test conversation. Check opt-out and closed-window cases before relying on the reminder in a live campaign.
Example conversation
One message, followed all the way.
Follow one request from the moment it arrives to the step after the reply.

- Your reply:Here’s the offer overview. You can reply here if you need help with the details.
Eligible reminder:
‘Any questions about the offer?’
Before and after
Interest can cool after the first answer. A timely nudge can help.
With Linkar
One check-in, at the right time.
- One check-in at a delay you choose
- Skipped when the person is no longer eligible
- Opt-outs respected
- The same link as the first reply
Why it helps
Helpful answers, and a person when it matters.
Prepared answers for the questions you already know, and a clear route to your team for the rest.
Keep the context recognisable
Reference the offer already shared. The person should understand why the check-in appears in the same conversation.
Respect a changed state
A person may opt out or the window may close. Treat a skipped reminder as expected behaviour when delivery is no longer eligible.

Before you switch it on
A helpful nudge is enough
Do not stack reminders merely because the builder accepts a delay. Review whether people reply or ask to stop, and remove the follow-up if it adds pressure without helping. Keep actual deadlines on the offer page. A private comment reply alone should not be treated as permission for ongoing DM reminders.
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.
Can I schedule a reminder after seven days?
A scheduling option does not override messaging eligibility. Linkar checks the supported window and opt-out status before delivery; a later ineligible reminder is skipped.
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.
