What this workflow does

• Automatically sends personalized replies with relevant affiliate URLs when matches are found
• Logs replied message IDs to prevent duplicate responses in future runs

Whether you're promoting fitness products, digital courses, fashion items, or tech gadgets, this workflow ensures no potential sale slips through the cracks. Ideal for handling high-volume DMs about product recommendations, pricing inquiries, or "link please" requests without manual intervention.
