Story conversations

Stories don’t stay up for long. Reply while they do.

A customer or audience member sharing your account deserves an acknowledgement that fits the moment.

This recipe uses a Story mention trigger and a short thank-you message.

It is a starting point for appreciation, not automatic permission to republish the Story.

Keep any request to reuse the content explicit and review the answer personally.

  1. Select Story mentions

    Choose the mention trigger for the connected Instagram account. Keep it separate from a reply to your own Story.

  2. Write your acknowledgement

    Replace the sample with language that sounds like your brand. Avoid promising a repost or a reward that has not been reviewed.

  3. Test a supported mention

    Ask another account to mention you in a Story and inspect the reply. Confirm the event is available to your connected account.

Before and after

Mentions are easy to miss. A thank-you shouldn’t be.

Without a system

Thanks that come late.

  • Mentions noticed days later
  • Thank-yous typed one by one
  • Reposts without asking first
  • Replies and mentions treated as the same thing

Example conversation

One Story moment, followed through.

ExampleA customer mentions your account. A mention acknowledgement should sound like your own team.

Why it helps

Mentions and replies, never mixed up.

Story replies and mentions get a fitting answer while the moment is still fresh.

Start for free

  1. Notice the contribution

    A simple acknowledgement can recognise the person’s support without immediately turning the moment into a sales pitch.

  2. Keep the next step optional

    If a relevant resource belongs in the response, explain it briefly. Let the person choose whether to continue the conversation.

Setup checklist

Instagram

  • An Instagram professional account

    Business or Creator. Personal Instagram accounts are not supported.

  • A short thank-you in your own words

    Plus a plan for asking permission before you reuse someone’s Story.

  • The free plan to start

    5 automations and 1,000 messages a month. Features and limits depend on the plan.

  • No code

    Choose the interaction, write the reply, and test it from another account.

Before you switch it on

Do not bury a sales campaign in a thank-you

Begin with the acknowledgement. If you want to reuse the Story, ask permission and let your team review the response. Supported mentions depend on the account and privacy context; this recipe does not scrape Stories or guarantee every tag is delivered.

Campaign notes

Choose the right Story interaction

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

  • A Story reply is a response to your own Story. A Story mention arrives when another person includes your account in theirs. These interactions deserve separate triggers and wording. Use a specific request word for an offer, and a short acknowledgement for a mention. Supported event availability can depend on account and privacy context.

  • Stories and highlights can outlive a promotion. Keep the offer destination current and remove expired instructions. A mention does not automatically establish permission to reuse a customer’s content; ask and review that separately. Test from another account, including any general DM flows that may also match the incoming interaction.

Questions, answered.

Can I automatically repost the mention?

This recipe sends a prepared thank-you. Reuse of somebody’s content needs the appropriate permission and your own review. It does not establish an automatic reposting workflow.

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.
