How an Instagram DM link works
An Instagram DM link opens a direct message to your account in one tap. People don’t have to find your profile and then tap Message. Meta’s format is:
https://ig.me/m/yourbusiness
- It works best on phones. The link opens the Instagram app straight to a message to you. On a computer it opens Instagram on the web, where the person may need to sign in.
- The first message is theirs to write. Instagram doesn’t support pre-filled text in a DM link, so tell people what to send, right next to the link.
- The link is your username. It never expires, but changing your username breaks it.
Where to share your Instagram DM link
WhatsApp, email and YouTube
Put it in your WhatsApp Business profile, your email signature or a video description, so people can reach you where they prefer.
Printed in your shop
Print the QR code on the counter, a trial-room mirror or a shopping bag. A scan opens a message to you, not just your profile.
Packaging and inserts
“Show us how you styled it, DM us” on a delivery insert brings photos, reviews and repeat orders into your inbox.
Give people a reason to message
A link alone gets fewer messages than a link with an invitation. “DM us your size for availability”, “DM PRICE for this month’s rates” and “DM us your date to check the venue” all tell people what to send, so the first message already says what they want.
Questions
Common questions.
Is this Instagram DM link generator free?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and the links and QR codes are yours to use anywhere. They are made in your browser; your username is not sent to Serviti.
Can I add a pre-filled message, like on WhatsApp?
No. Instagram does not support a pre-typed message in a DM link, so people type their first message themselves. Tell them what to send next to the link, for example “DM us PRICE for the price list”.
Does an ig.me link work with a personal account?
The link opens a message thread with whichever username is in it. Meta documents ig.me links for professional accounts, and business tools such as inbox labels and automated replies need one. Switching to a professional account in Instagram settings is free.
What is the difference between ig.me/m and an instagram.com link?
An instagram.com link opens your profile, and the person still has to tap Message. An ig.me/m link opens the message box directly, which is one tap fewer.
What happens to the link if I change my username?
It stops working. The link and any QR code contain your username, so if you change it, make new ones and replace the old ones wherever you shared them.
Where do messages from the link arrive?
In your Instagram inbox. Messages from people who don’t follow you may land in Message requests rather than the main inbox, so check there too.
