Hi ​@whereishelo_ , yes you can, here is the guide on how to do it: https://help.manychat.com/hc/en-us/articles/23096654243740-Follow-to-DM-on-Instagram-Say-Hi-to-New-Followers

 

If you prefer not to include a link in the DM for new followers and simply want to send a friendly “Hi!”

  1. Turn off the Opening DM toggle under They will get.
  2. When the pop-up suggests turning it back on, simply skip it.
  3. Add the message you want to send to new followers under And then they will get, just leave out the link.

This way, your new followers will still receive your message, but without a link. Keep in mind that unless they reply or interact, you won’t be able to continue the conversation.

Hope this helps!
