From channel to sales conversation

Instagram inquiries should not stay buried in Direct.

A customer asks about your service on Instagram. Lead Recovery receives the inquiry from your connected professional account, clarifies details and passes the conversation context to a manager.

Start with one channel. Your team controls pricing and booking decisions.

All examples on this page are illustrative, not customer results.

Could I book a consultation tomorrow evening?

Next step: Reception checks the service and confirms a time

Sound familiar?

Direct gets checked between tasks

A service question has no next step.

Questions repeat

Your team keeps collecting the same basic details.

Before you connect

Questions before getting started

Can I use a personal Instagram account?

Check the professional Instagram account and connection permissions

Can it reply to any Direct message?

Replies depend on Meta policy and an eligible conversation.

Who confirms a service time?

A person confirms availability when reliable data is missing.

Can we broadcast to followers?

Direct access does not permit arbitrary broadcasts.

How do we test the handoff to reception?

Test an incoming message and a handoff to reception

Will AI replace our receptionist?

No. It clarifies permitted details in eligible conversations. Your team decides on services, exceptions and confirmations.

What makes a first reply useful?

Services, current information, essential questions and reply boundaries. Missing information or complex questions require a person.

Make the next Direct inquiry easy to hand over

Start with a recurring price, service or availability question. Test the conversation, collected details and handoff to reception.
