How to Qualify Leads in Instagram DMs

Not every DM is a buyer. Here's how to automatically separate serious prospects from browsers before your team spends time on them.

How it works

Step by step

1

Define what a good lead looks like

Agree on the signals that matter — budget, need, timeline, location — so the bot knows what to ask.

2

Build a qualifying flow

Create a short set of questions in the Flow Builder that captures those signals naturally.

3

Let AI read intent

Use Talksy to interpret free-text answers and score how ready each lead is.
