Setting up your first automation doesn't have to be complicated. Here is the exact end-to-end blueprint to take an idea from blank canvas to live, revenue-generating DM flow.
Step 1: Choose Your Trigger
Decide how followers will enter the automation: Post Comment, Story Mention, Story Reply, or Direct Message keyword.
Step 2: Add the Response Message
Craft your initial message using natural language. Include personalized tags like {username} or {first_name} to establish immediate rapport.
Step 3: Connect Actionable Buttons
Add a clear CTA button with your destination URL (Link in Bio, Store Checkout, or Consultation Booking).
Step 4: Test & Deploy
Send a test comment from another account to verify that the webhook triggers instantly within 2 seconds. Once confirmed, toggle your flow to Active!
