a DM asking to follow you before they get the link

Hi ​@Alcottventures, just include in your flow a Condition that checks if the lead is already following your account. If he is, send them the link, if not, remain them to do it.

See the example of the image below - I put this out for you so you can see how to do it -.

Hope this helps!

Thank you. ​@cata_rendon   I was trying to do it in this in the template: “Auto DM from Comments”.  Also, is there a way to enable them to follow from within the DM, so they do not need to leave this page to go to the bio, click Follow, and then again come back to the DM? I think this would be a much more seamless user experience than having them leave the DM and then return. 

No there is no native way to have them follow from DMs, it’s a meta limitation 

Hi ​@Alcottventures , its a good idea to have it like that, but no, unfortunately users cannot follow you within the DM. That is a development that has been implemented. Probably you can proposed as an idea in the community.
