The automation flow works as follows:

1. User comments on an Instagram post
2. Automation triggers instantly
3. User receives a DM with a WhatsApp CTA
4. User clicks and gets redirected to WhatsApp
5. User sends a code/message
6. Contact gets connected and confirmed

When the user interacts with the DM:

1. User clicks the **Connect on WhatsApp** button

* Identifies the user and links them to the workflow

### Step 5: Connection Confirmation &#x20;

Once the user sends the code:

* Contact is successfully **connected to WhatsApp**
* A **confirmation/notification message** is triggered

#### Outcome &#x20;

* User becomes a qualified lead
* Conversation moves fully to WhatsApp
