6 Simple Hacks for Configuring Automated Replies on Instagram and Facebook

Welcome to the gateway of improved customer interactions! Do you worry that you might be leaving your cherished customers hanging or missing out on valuable deals? Guess what, the solution lies right at your fingertips—automated responses! These magical tools are your secret weapon to conquer these challenges with ease. Brace yourselves, as I unravel the art of using Business Suite and the Instagram app to set up automated responses that'll leave your customers delighted.


1. Elevate Customer Experience with an 'Away' Message


Imagine never missing a beat, even when the lights are out. With an automated away message, you can ensure that your customers receive instant replies even after business hours. To set the stage, open Business Suite, go into your inbox, and spot the Automations button in the top-right corner. There, you'll find your gateway to creating automation wonders—click on "Create Automations" and select "Away Message."

Handpick the channels (Messenger and/or Instagram) for your message's grand entrance. Dictate the hours when the away message should gracefully take the stage. Pro tip: If capturing sales is your goal, sprinkle in some nuggets of info for warm leads. Let them embark on their buying journey without waiting for sunrise. A link to pricing or a ticket to a product demo might just be the key.

Craft your away message with care, encompassing the common queries. Bullet points are your sidekicks in efficiency here. To elevate the personal touch, let customer names take centre stage with a simple click. Visualize your masterpiece using the Preview in Messenger button—it’s a sneak peek your customers deserve.


2. Swift Engagement with Instant Replies


Your team's got talent, and they're on the clock! An instant reply is your trump card during the business day hustle. For those newcomers knocking on your digital door, it's your chance to shine. Sadly, it's not a magic trick for ongoing conversations. Dive in by locating Instant Reply in the automations menu. Take your pick—Messenger, Instagram, or both. Condense your wisdom into 500 characters or less.

Maybe you'll reuse a tweaked away message, or perhaps you'll sculpt something brand new. If rapid response is your forte, guide your prospects toward the next steps. Spark curiosity, give them a taste of what's to come, and voilà—a seamless buyer's journey is set in motion.


3. Sharing is Caring: The Contact Details Shortcut


It's the little things that matter, like sharing your contact details without lifting a finger. Common questions about your store's address, operating hours, or email—put them on autopilot. Business Suite brings the magic to Messenger, where a button bearing crucial info becomes your customers' beacon.

The Contact Information, Location, and Hours options in Business Suite are your trusty companions. Craft your message with finesse, and don't forget the URL button for extra oomph. Need to jazz up your pop-up locations? A manual URL is your go-to for dynamic changes.


4. FAQs: Your 24/7 Knowledge Butler


Time for a Q&A party! Frequent queries deserve swift answers, and FAQs are your ace in the hole. Create a treasure trove of self-help answers, beautifully orchestrated for both Facebook and Instagram. Get set up in Business Suite, and embrace the magic in the Instagram app.

For Facebook, navigate through the Frequently Asked Questions template in Business Suite. Your customers will soon find comfort in the familiar embrace of these questions. Smart tips: Keep them relevant, toggle on that menu, and adapt as seasons change.

Instagram's no stranger to FAQs either. Embrace customization—import or tailor your questions. Tap into your unique audience's curiosity and let your FAQs shine during those fresh conversations.


5. Craft Your Symphony: Custom Automations


Templates are splendid, but sometimes a personal touch is the real gem. Say hello to tailored workflows! Dive into Business Suite's inbox, meet Automations, and break the mould. Start from scratch and unveil a world of possibilities.

Custom labels are your secret sauce. Team up with your crew to define your customer journey stages. Label Is Added becomes your golden rule. Set triggers, perfect timing, and responses that seal the deal. Harness the power of your sales team's charm to turn prospects into loyal patrons.


6. Comment Magic: Respond with Finesse


Comments aren't just comments—they're conversations waiting to bloom. While Meta's tools can't automate all comment responses, keywords can spark your magic. Behold, custom keywords in your Business Suite inbox automations!

Sprinkle in keywords, and let the enchantment begin. Warm leads mentioning "pricing" could receive a nudge towards their answers. Craft your message, infuse keywords, and you're ready to enthrall. And why stop at one option? Let them choose their adventure with interactive buttons.


In Conclusion: Your Journey Begins


Welcome to the era of elevated engagement, efficient inquiries, and cost-effective customer acquisition. With automated responses at your command, Facebook and Instagram will be your playgrounds of personalization. Swift responses, meaningful info, and engaging conversations are your trump cards. Dive into the realm of automated finesse, and watch your business soar.
