Before you start
- Instagram is connected in Fliqr AI
- You have a published flow whose message type supports Instagram (or omnichannel content that can send on Instagram)
Set up Story mention replies
1
Create the reply flow
In the Flow Builder, create the message you want to send when someone mentions you. Publish the flow.
2
Open Instagram channel settings
Go to Settings → Channels → Instagram.
3
Choose the mention reply flow
Find Instagram Mention Reply (or Story Mention Reply), select your published flow, and click Save.
4
Test
From another account, mention your Professional account in a Story and confirm the DM arrives.
The mention notification is inbound-only. Fliqr AI can reply in DM; it cannot post content into the other person’s Story through the API.
Tips
- Keep the first message short. Offer a clear next step (button or quick reply).
- Use a dedicated flow for mentions so you can measure conversion separately from Story replies.
- Combine with conversation starters so returning users still see useful prompts.
