# Instagram Story offer reply template

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.

## Channel

Instagram: supported incoming interactions

## Setup

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 Avoid a destination that displays an outdated promotion.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.

## Example incoming request

DEAL

## Sample reply to customise

Here’s the offer from this Story. The page has the full details, terms, and end date.

## Next step

Open your offer page

Use a real offer and an accurate deadline.

## 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.

## 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.

Replace all sample wording and destinations. This is a workflow plan, not an importable or already-published automation.
