What is Instagram lead routing?
Instagram lead routing is the assignment of qualified Instagram threads to the right owner, queue, or CRM stage based on rules such as territory, offer type, language, or lead score.

How it works
Routing rules fire after intent and qualification fields are known. A lead might go to a senior closer for high guest counts, a nurture sequence for early-stage inquiries, or a support queue for existing clients.
Routing without qualification just spreads chaos faster.
Key components
CRM owner assignment, round-robin pools, geo or language rules, SLA alerts, and visibility in the inbox so agents know why they received the thread.
Examples
Goa yacht inquiries route to the Goa desk; Mumbai corporate events route to the B2B team.
Threads tagged booking-ready ping the on-call closer via WhatsApp and CRM task.
