Instagram DM lead qualification

They’re interested.
You still have to walk them there yourself.

AIVAS handles the work from inbound interest through qualification and a completed application, using the answers and limits you set. You step in when a lead is ready for a conversation where your judgment and relationship matter.

When the lead goes quiet · 01

The conversation doesn’t reset while she is away.

Maya goes quiet before answering the management question. The open step stays active for 18 hours, so the next message starts where the work paused, not at the top.

FAQ

Fair questions.

The questions worth answering before an assistant joins the inbox.

Will it sound like a bot?

You give it real replies and examples of how you handle common questions. Then you review its drafts in Practice and Preview. If the phrasing is wrong, you can fix the example or leave a note on the reply.

Do I have to approve every reply?

No. New assistants start in Preview, where you can inspect drafts against real traffic without sending. When the known questions look right, Live lets the assistant send on its own. You can return to Preview at any time.

What happens when it doesn't know?

It stops. Important questions that are missing from your knowledge, along with complaints and sensitive requests, go to Needs you with the full thread. The assistant stays quiet until a person marks the conversation handled.

Where does it work today?

AIVAS starts with Instagram DMs, connected directly through Meta or through ManyChat. The assistant and operator workspace are designed to support more kinds of conversation work over time, but Instagram is the live customer channel today.

What do I need to set up?

Bring the answers your team already uses: offers, pricing, policies, signup links, and a few examples of how you reply. Add the limits the assistant must respect, then test the awkward questions before going Live.
