What are all 7 ways to activate your robot?

1st: Keywords:

This functionality is widely used to start a specific flow exclusively by choosing keywords. To further optimize this capability, it is possible to create groups of words to designate specific flows.

2nd: Welcome:

Welcome is only sent to new contacts (those who have never sent a message to the bot) and only once. This must be the flow that has the initial greeting + Main Data Collection as Name.

3rd: Standard answer:

If you want your Flow to be triggered with Any Word or Message, this should be the enabled mode. Standard Response is sent with any message or character other than a keyword.

4th: Mentions in Stories:

If you want to trigger a stream whenever someone mentions you or your business in their Stories, this option must be enabled. Reply to users who mention your profile in Stories

5th: Comments and Links Campaigns:

If you want to trigger a stream whenever a comment is made on one of your posts, you must enable campaigns. Enable this in Settings > Campaigns.

6th: Greeting Buttons:

If you want to enable buttons so that when someone sends you a message on your Instagram, they are displayed, you must activate the Greeting Buttons.

7th: Main Menu:

If you want a main menu in your Instagram direct message, so that when a contact clicks on the menu in the upper right corner they are displayed, you must activate the MAIN MENU
