Hey everyone! 👋 If you are using Beacons for your link-in-bio, you need to stop what you're doing and set up this feature immediately. Beacons has a built-in tool called Smart Reply. Essentially, it’s an automated comment-to-DM responder (like ManyChat) built right into your link-in-bio platform. When someone comments a specific trigger word on your Instagram posts, reels, or stories, Beacons will automatically slide into their DMs with your product link, freebie, or guide. Instead of manually messaging hundreds of people or losing leads because you forgot to reply, this handles everything on autopilot while you sleep. Here is exactly how to set it up in less than 5 minutes: 🛠️ Step-by-Step Setup Guide Step 1: Head to Your Menu Open up your Beacons dashboard and click on the More menu button in the bottom right corner. Select Marketing from the options list. Step 2: Open Smart Reply Inside the Marketing menu, click on Smart Reply (it has a paper airplane icon next to it). Step 3: Create Your Automation Click the big blue button that says + Smart Reply (or + New Smart Reply if you already have some running) to start creating your new automation. Step 4: Select Your Instagram Content Type Beacons will ask you where you want this automation to trigger. You can choose: Specific post or reel: Great for a targeted campaign or launching a brand new digital product bundle. • Specific post or reel: Great for a targeted campaign or launching a brand new digital product bundle. • Any post or reel: Perfect for evergreen lead magnets (e.g., "Comment FREEBIE on any of my posts to get my guide"). • Stories & DMs: Perfect for interacting with highly engaged viewers watching your daily stories. Step 5: Set Your Trigger Word & DM Message Type in your exact trigger word (like GUIDE or FREEBIE) and write out the automated friendly message that will deliver the link to your community member or customer. 💡 Pro-Tips for Maximum Conversions: 1: Keep trigger words short and simple: Words like READY, VAULT, or GROW work better than long phrases because they are easy for people to type without autocorrect messing it up.
