To ensure compliance with the Telemarketing Sales Rule, you must keep your phone number off your website. Alternatively, leads can engage in a live chat conversation with you via their preferred messaging/social media platform. To achieve this, you need to generate the direct messaging URLs from these platforms which you can later add to your website in the form of buttons, or other call-to-action elements.

How to generate direct messaging URL for Instagram
Creating an ig.me link manually may appear challenging at first, but it’s quite straightforward.
The format for an Instagram DM link is “https://ig.me/m/YOURUSERNAME”.
Replace YOURUSERNAME with your Instagram username.
For example, if your username is @crc_heroes, your link would be “https://ig.me/m/crc_heroes.”
