ONE INSTAGRAM WORKFLOW · END TO END
From content engagement to a useful next step.
Do not stop at an automatic link. Let each clear signal begin a focused flow, then keep the resulting conversation in the same workspace.
Use an eligible Post or Reel comment, Story reply, or new DM as the reason to begin—not a cold, contextless message.
Reel commentPost commentStory replyNew DM
Send a resource, ask one qualifying question, share a booking link, or direct the customer to the right page with a flow you can preview first.
The AI Customer Agent uses the business knowledge, goal, tone, and boundaries you approve to answer follow-up questions and clarify fit.
Move a qualified conversation toward a booking, purchase, or human follow-up. The earlier context remains visible in the Unified Inbox.

THE FLOW IS THE OPENING · THE AGENT IS THE CONVERSATION
Do more than send the link.
A template handles the predictable first move. When the customer asks “which one?”, “does this fit me?”, or “what happens next?”, the AI Customer Agent can answer from the business information you approve.
- 01 Answer open-ended product or service questions
- 02 Ask for the detail needed to understand fit
- 03 Recommend an approved next action
- 04 Pause and hand off when human judgment is needed
FOR PEOPLE WHO DO BUSINESS ON INSTAGRAM

Ask one predictable question in the flow, then let the Agent clarify the customer’s situation.
