DM Automation

Stop Losing Leads in Your DMs

Scalent's DM automation instantly replies to Instagram and Facebook messages and comments, qualifies the lead, and books appointments — so social media inquiries convert instead of going stale.

The Problem It Solves

Social media is often the first place a customer reaches out, and also the easiest place for a lead to go cold. Manually checking DMs between calls and walk-ins means hours-long response times, and by then the customer has already messaged three competitors.

How It Works

  1. 1

    We connect your accounts

    Instagram and Facebook business accounts are connected securely through official messaging APIs.

  2. 2

    It replies the moment a DM arrives

    New messages and comment replies are answered instantly with a natural, on-brand response — no more 'seen' with no reply.

  3. 3

    It qualifies the lead in conversation

    The AI asks the right follow-up questions to understand what the person wants before booking or handing off.

  4. 4

    It books or hands off to your team

    Qualified leads are booked directly or flagged to your team with full context, so no conversation starts from scratch.
