Connecting Gatsby with Smile.io

Convert Instagram followers into loyalty members

With just a few clicks, you can connect Gatsby and Smile to start converting Instagram followers into Smile loyalty members.

1. Connect Gatsby to Smile

  • Log into your Gatsby account

  • Go to Settings → Integrations → Smile.io

  • Click “Connect Smile” and complete the OAuth flow


2. Set Up Your Loyalty Auto-Replies

To convert Instagram followers into Smile loyalty members, you'll use a two-step auto-reply sequence:

Step 2a: Create the Keyword Trigger

  • Go to Gatsbty → Auto-Replies → New Auto-Reply

  • Choose a keyword (e.g. "loyalty") that followers will DM you

  • Set your reply message to ask for their email address (e.g. “Got it! Reply with your email to join our loyalty program and start earning rewards.”)

Step 2b: Set the Follow-Up Reply with Loyalty Action

  • Create another auto-reply triggered by the email response

  • Select "Advanced Auto-Reply" and fill out the details
  • Select the Gatsby Action → Create Smile Loyalty Member

  • Customize your acknowledgement message they will receive after clicking the button (e.g. “You're in! You’ll start earning Smile points when you tag us on Instagram!)

Note: The feature to reward members for tagging on Instagram is coming soon!
