What an ig.me link does
An ig.me link opens a direct message thread with your Instagram account. It is useful where a normal link is allowed but you want the visitor to start a conversation: your bio, a website button, an email, a QR code or an ad destination.
Someone who taps the link can then message you first. With an automation, that message can trigger a prepared reply, such as a price list or a booking link. In InboxLoop, a DM Auto Reply automation starts when an incoming DM contains a keyword you chose.
How to use it with an automation
- Choose a keyword people will send, such as PRICE or BOOK, and tell them to send it, for example in your bio or an email.
- Create a DM Auto Reply automation in InboxLoop that responds to that keyword.
- Use the link above wherever you want people to start the conversation.
- Test it by opening the link from a second account and sending the keyword.
Questions about ig.me links
Do I need a Professional account?
Messaging automations through Meta need a Creator or Business account. The link itself opens a message thread with whichever account you enter.
What is the reference code for?
A short label added as ?ref= so you can tell campaigns apart in your own records. Use letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores.
Does this tool store my username?
No. The link is generated in your browser and is not saved or sent anywhere.
Can I see who clicked the link?
For click history, use tracked link buttons inside an InboxLoop automation. See the link tracking guide for what the metrics mean.
