Start your Gatsby account off with these popular Instagram Story and DM auto-replies
1. Story Mention to Instagram Follower
When someone tags you in their Instagram Story, but they don't follow your brand yet yet, encourage them to follow you using the following template and filters:
2. Story Mention to Ambassador Application
When someone tags you in their Instagram Story and has over 500 followers, but you don't have their email address on file yet, encourage them to apply to your ambassador program:
3. Ambassador Inbound Interest
When someone DMs you the words "collab" "ambassador program" and related keywords, automatically encourage them to apply to your ambassador program:
Note: The "they follow you = true" is totally up to you. You're welcome to send a different message to those that already follow you vs those that don't yet.
4. Run a Giveaway
Email your customers, run ads etc that encourage people to send you a DM with a particular keyword for a chance to win a giveaway item. This is a very easy way to spark simple engagement. You can even require they follow your brand too by using the filters.
5. Thanks for Following
In Flow Template 1, you are requiring that customers follow you on Instagram in order to finish applying to your ambassador program. Once they follow you, they need to send you a DM with the word "followed" to confirm. The following DM acknowledges that they did it.
Note: This one is highly suggested if you're using our Klaviyo Flow templates
6. Profile Confirmation or Verification Step
When someone DMs you the word "verify", let them know they've completed the verification step for applying to your ambassador program, and tell them to check their email.
Note: This one is highly suggested if you're using the following Klaviyo Form format. However since we came out with our new Flow Templates, Auto-Reply #5 above for the follow event makes this one superfluous.
After someone signs up for your Ambassador program in a form like this:
They should receive a message like this:
Then once they send you the DM with "verify" in it, they should receive this auto-reply:
Now in Gatsby, Klaviyo, Attentive and other partners, you can see which customers have verified their handle with you by sending you a DM.
Note: Any text-based DM will mark them as verified
