Instagram chatbots can process orders through DMs. Clients can easily place orders, ask questions, and receive real-time updates.

To make the most of your Instagram chatbot, consider launching it to collect client feedback. This will determine whether your clients are satisfied with your product or service.

If you're seeking a reliable and powerful Instagram CRM with a chatbot builder, Kommo may be the one.

Kommo is the world's first Instagram CRM and an officially badged Meta Business Partner, indicating that Kommo's expertise has been verified and recognized by Meta. 🤝

Kommo is a great solution for building connections with clients through Instagram. The platform offers a set of useful features, including:

• Ice-breakers
• Quick Replies
• Lead routing
• Auto-reply to comments
• Measure customer satisfaction
• Automated follow-ups
• Document generation
• Automated invoices

Let's delve into each feature.

Keyword triggers are words or phrases coded within the chatbot to prompt specific actions or responses from predefined conversation flows. For example:

• An e-commerce chatbot recognizes 'dress' and provides a catalog of trendy dresses 👗
• A banking chatbot recognizes 'transfer' and quickly provides details of all transfers 💰

If your client inputs a term your chatbot doesn't know, it will ask a human for help.

Here is a detailed video on how you can use this strategy.

You can use Instagram's ice-breaker feature to show prompt messages to potential clients when they contact you for the first time.

How does it work? 🤔

• When an interested client opens your Instagram DM chat, message buttons appear.
• When clients click on one of the options, their selection will be sent as a message, which will also appear in your Kommo account.

Ice-breakers are a great way to start a conversation with new customers and personalize their experience with your brand.

You can create messages with quick-reply buttons with the help of the chatbot. 🤖 Quick reply buttons allow clients to respond to your message with a single tap, making it easier and more convenient.

Here's how it works:

• When your lead taps on one of the quick-reply buttons, their selection will be sent as a message.
• The message will then appear in your unified inbox, allowing you to easily respond to all your customer interactions in one place.

Using quick-reply buttons can improve your response times and streamline your customer communication. 🔥

With Kommo's Instagram chatbot, you can easily ensure your leads are routed to the most appropriate customer support representative.

Simply ask a few leading questions, and the chatbot will route them to the specialist who is best equipped to answer their inquiries. 🤓 This bot will save your team time and provide customers with a more personalized experience, increasing the likelihood of conversions.

The auto-comment reply chatbot allows you to respond automatically to comments on your social media posts. You could ask people to reply to a post on your page, and a few seconds after they do, they get a message from your chatbot in Messenger or Instagram.

Last by not least is the chatbot that measures customer satisfaction. It provides a simple yet powerful way to see how satisfied your customers are with your service. 🙌

With just an emoji, your customers can easily give feedback, allowing you to gather valuable insights and improve your customer support.

You can fully automate follow-ups, including those for WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger, and ensure every lead is taken care of.

For example, if a potential client doesn't respond to you for 3 days, you can be sure that your chatbot will follow up on your last chat.

Kommo's document generation bot can transfer all your valuable data from Kommo lead cards to your document template. 📋 With special modifiers, you can move anything from names to order details.

After this, you can start building your chatbot's personality. You can make it more fun by using emojis and buttons. Here's how the buttons will prompt the bot to send a message depending on your customer's answer.

If you want to add quick replies in another message and the customer provides a written response instead of clicking the button, Kommo allows you to add synonyms to your bot.

When the customer clicks the quick reply button, the Instagram chatbot can provide an answer and a file.

If the customer clicks Tomorrow, the bot will send the eBook as requested.

Building a chatbot is just one of several tasks involved. You must customize it to ensure it produces the best outcomes for your company. Often, triggers determine whether a chatbot is successful or not.
