Step-by-Step Template Breakdown

1. Trigger on New Comment

Select your promotional post announcing the upcoming release. Each new comment (e.g., “Pre-save”) fires the workflow immediately.

Pro tip: We're using a specific keyword to ensure the automation targets people with strong intent. The post content is designed to prompt users to comment with that keyword in exchange for the pre-save link.

2. Automated Reply Message

Your first DM thanks the user for their comment and asks:

“Hey [Name]! Thanks for the hype. Would you like an exclusive preview of the new track?”

This personalized approach keeps the excitement alive and primes them for the next step.

3. Button Question for Preview Opt-In

Embed a button (“Yes, Send Preview 🎧”) in the DM. When clicked, Inrō treats it like a manual reply and saves the contact in your CRM - it’s a sort of manual opt-in.

Opt in button for instagram automation

Pro tip: Always include an opt-in or 'interested' button in your first automated message to someone who comments. Instagram only allows one message unless they accept your request—but if they tap the button, they become an 'active' contact, allowing you to send follow-ups and full DM campaigns.

4. Send Audio Snippet

Immediately after the opt-in, the template delivers an audio snippet—a 15- to 30-second clip that teases the chorus or hook. This exclusive sneak peek drives anticipation and emotional connection.

5. Pre-Save Link Delivery

Once the snippet is sent, the next DM automatically shares your pre-save link (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.). A simple message like:

“Enjoy that teaser? Lock in your pre-save here 👉 [Pre-Save Link]”

Because it’s automated, every interested follower gets the link instantly—no manual copy-paste needed.
