Ways to use story replies

  • Ask a question in your story, then send the answer or link to everyone who replies.
  • Share a behind-the-scenes link with people who reply "yes".
  • Thank people for replying, and point them to your latest Reel.
  • Tell followers to reply with a word to get a discount code.

Why stories work well

The people who reply are already your followers and already interested. A story reply also starts a real conversation, so the 24-hour messaging window is open.

  • Sign up on Hypee and connect Instagram through Instagram's own login.
  • Create an automation, choose the trigger and write your message.
