AI Instagram Appointment Setter

What is an AI Instagram appointment setter?

It is software that does the job of a DM setter. It reads incoming Instagram messages, replies like a person on your team, asks qualifying questions, and offers a call to the leads who fit. The goal is not to chat forever. The goal is a booked appointment with a qualified prospect, handed to the person who closes the sale.

How Closrix works

1. 1A lead sends your Instagram account a DM, replies to a story, or comments a keyword on a post.
2. 2Closrix replies within seconds, in your brand voice, 24/7.
3. 3It asks the questions from your campaign script one at a time, in order.
4. 4If the lead asks about price, timing, or what is included, Closrix answers from your approved playbooks, then returns to the script.
5. 5If the lead goes quiet, Closrix follows up on a set cadence (1 hour, 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days) and then stops.
6. 6When the lead is qualified, Closrix asks permission, then sends your calendar link.
7. 7Once a call is booked, Closrix stops pitching. Your team can take over any conversation at any time.

AI appointment setter vs chatbot

Traditional Instagram chatbots run on rules: a keyword triggers a fixed message or a button menu. They are good for delivering a freebie or a link. An AI appointment setter reads free-text replies, understands intent, answers questions it was not explicitly programmed for, and steers the conversation toward a booked call.

AI appointment setter vs human setter

AI is always on, replies instantly, and follows the script the same way every time. A good human setter reads nuance, builds rapport over long threads, and handles unusual situations better. Many teams use both: Closrix handles first response, qualification, and follow-up, and humans step in on complex or high-value conversations.

Instagram lead qualification

You define the qualifying questions in a campaign, for example goal, timeline, and whether they want a consultation. Closrix asks them word for word, one at a time, and tracks which step each lead is on so it never repeats or skips a question.

Automated follow-up

If a lead stops replying, Closrix sends up to four nudges: after 1 hour, 24 hours, 3 days, and 7 days. Each nudge re-asks the current script question. If the lead still does not reply, follow-up ends.

Booking appointments

Closrix only sends your calendar link after the lead says yes to a call. It will not send the same link twice in a row, and it stops pitching once a booking is detected.

Human handoff

You can pause AI on any lead, pause it during your team's working hours, or let it hand off automatically when a question is outside your playbooks, such as a refund, complaint, or account-specific issue. Every message in the inbox is labeled AI or Human.
