Yes, Zapier can help you automate sending a message to new Instagram followers. Here's a step-by-step guide to set it up:

Prerequisites:

1. You have an Instagram Business account or a personal account with a large following.
2. You have a Zapier account and have connected your Instagram account to Zapier.
3. You have a messaging platform (e.g., email, SMS, or a chatbot) connected to Zapier.

Step 1: Connect your Instagram account to Zapier

1. Log in to your Zapier account and click on "Connect Account" in the top-right corner.
2. Search for "Instagram" and select the "Instagram Business" or "Instagram Personal" app.
3. Authenticate your Instagram account by logging in and granting Zapier permission to access your account.

Step 2: Set up the trigger

1. In the Zapier dashboard, click on "Make a Zap" and select "Instagram" as the trigger app.
2. Choose the trigger "New Follower" and set up the trigger by selecting the specific account and the type of followers you want to trigger the zap for (e.g., new followers, unfollowers, etc.).
3. Set the trigger filter to "New Followers" and choose the time frame for which you want to trigger the zap (e.g., last 24 hours).

Step 3: Set up the action

1. In the Zapier dashboard, click on "Add Action" and select the messaging platform you want to use (e.g., email, SMS, or a chatbot).
2. Choose the action "Send Message" and set up the message template. You can use variables like the new follower's username, profile picture, or bio to personalize the message.
3. Set the message frequency to "Once" or "Daily" depending on your preference.

Example Message Template:

"Hi [New Follower's Username], welcome to our Instagram community! We're excited to have you on board. Check out our latest posts and stories for exclusive updates and behind-the-scenes content. #newfollower #instagramcommunity"

Step 4: Test and enable the zap

1. Test the zap by sending a test message to a new follower.
2. Review the message and make any necessary adjustments.
3. Enable the zap to start sending messages to new followers.

Tips and Variations:

• You can customize the message template to fit your brand's tone and style.
• Use Zapier's "Delay" feature to send the message after a certain time period (e.g., 1 hour, 1 day, etc.).
• Set up multiple zaps for different messaging platforms or different types of messages (e.g., welcome message, promotional message, etc.).
• Use Zapier's "Filter" feature to exclude certain followers or messages from being triggered.

By following these steps, you can automate sending a message to new Instagram followers using Zapier.
