Story conversations

Answer Story replies and mentions in the moment.

Use this recipe for a Story that invites viewers to request a specific offer.

A Story reply keyword connects the request to your maintained offer page. Keep deadlines and terms visible, and avoid leaving an expired promotion running through a saved highlight. The message should explain the offer rather than create false urgency.

  1. Prepare the offer page

    Check price, inclusions, terms, and the real end date. Avoid a destination that displays an outdated promotion.

  2. Choose Story replies and DEAL

    Configure the Story reply trigger with your intended word. Use the same instruction visibly in the Story.

  3. Test and plan retirement

    Send a matching Story reply and check the destination. Decide when to update or stop the automation, including any highlights carrying the instruction.

Why it helps

Built for the way people answer Stories.

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

  1. A reply tied to the Story

    The chosen word should identify the current offer. That helps keep ordinary DMs and other Story campaigns separate.

  2. Clear terms at the destination

    Use a page containing the actual conditions and deadline so a viewer can check the details before acting.

Supported channels

Where this works

Linkar connects to Instagram professional accounts and Facebook Pages. What an automation can do depends on the channel and the account you connect.

Setup checklist

Instagram

  • An Instagram professional account

    Business or Creator. Personal Instagram accounts are not supported.

  • A current offer for the Story

    Plus a short thank you for people who mention you in theirs.

  • 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

A highlight can outlive the offer

Review saved Stories when a promotion ends. Update the resource or remove the old request instruction so viewers are not sent to an irrelevant sale. Test the Story flow alongside general message keywords to avoid two different replies competing for the same request.

Campaign notes

Choose the right Story interaction

  • 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.

Short answers about accounts, plans and setup. If your question is not covered here, our support team can help.

Is this a reply to somebody else mentioning me?

No. It responds to a supported reply to your own Story. Use a Story mention recipe for a thank-you when another person includes your account in their Story.

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.
