Lead with a reason

A direct message should have a clear purpose for the recipient. It might answer an enquiry, share requested information or help someone take the next step. Connect the message to the context in which the person chose to hear from the brand.

Keep the route simple

Decide whether the next action is a reply, a booking or a visit to a page. Avoid combining several competing instructions. Check the destination on a phone and make sure the wording matches the promise in the message.

Design the human handover

An automated flow should help route the conversation, not hide the team. Decide when a person needs to respond and what context they should receive. Keep questions focused on information that is genuinely useful for the enquiry.

Review relevance, not just volume

Use the campaign brief to decide what makes a conversation useful. Look at the questions people ask and where they need clarification. Before any campaign, confirm applicable platform requirements and permissions with the team responsible for delivery.
