For creating the link on the Marketex platform, the process is very simple. Just enter your mobile number and leave an optional message, as you can see in the video below.
The optional message will appear in the message bar of anyone placing the link and sent by you. As shown on the video, you can post a custom message so you know the user came from Instagram.
This way, you can analyze the metrics of how many people requested care from the social network.
