Add a follow-up DM after a first message that shared a link
I have an automation already tested and running: it sends a DM with a clickable link.
Now I want to add a step to collect the person’s email address. Here is what it looks like (work in progress). However the message #2 does not get sent out. What did I do wrong?
Note: I don’t really need the action that tags the person, but I don’t know how to send a second DM without this in between...
For context… When you use the User Comment trigger and put a button + link in the first message (as comment reply), clicking the button doesn't open the 24h Window and you won't be able to send any further message/content.
To open a Message Window, the first interaction must be a button or quick reply connected to another step. And there you can set your button + link.
This will act as if the user sent you a message and make IG open the window.
Ok… it's an additional step for the user, but it enables much more possibilities. Take a look:
Your triggers
The first message (as comment reply) with a “friendly greeting” to the user. This can even encourage them to continue . This will have a button that's just connected to the next step
The message with the button + link to content (4, 5 and 6 are optional, but act as a follow up if the user doesn't click to watch)
As next step, a Smart Delay that you set to a follow up.
A Condition Block checking if the contact hasn't the tag applied at Item 7 In other words, this will verify if the contact has clicked on the button.
A follow up message.
Connected to the button, an Action adding a tag to sinalize the click.
