How do you ask a qualifying question before you send the link?

We sell two very different packages and the DM link goes to a page with both, which confuses people. I want to ask one question first and send the right link. How do you branch a DM flow on the answer?

Ask with buttons rather than free text, then branch on which button they tapped.

Buttons are the difference between a flow that works and one that guesses. A typed answer has to be matched against keywords, and people write "the second one", "b" and "smaller pls". A tapped button is a known value, so the branch is exact.

The build:

  1. Opening message that answers what they came for, in one line.
  2. A question step with two or three options. Label them with the outcome, not the product name: "Just me" and "For my team" outperform "Starter" and "Pro" with people who have never seen your pricing.
  3. A branch per option that sends the matching link.
  4. A tag per option, applied before the link, so the answer survives the conversation.

Keep it to one question. Every extra step costs people, and a stranger's answers to question three are usually wrong anyway. If you need more detail, the page or the call is where it belongs.

One thing to plan for: someone will type instead of tapping, because the buttons scroll off or they replied from a notification. Add a fallback branch that sends the general link and asks nothing else, rather than repeating the question. Repeating it is the point where people leave.

The Playbook: Lead generation article has the option labels and fallback wording that held up across a few hundred conversations.

Labelling by outcome instead of plan name was worth more than the branching itself for us.

Does the fallback branch need its own tag, or do you leave those contacts untagged?
