Why Do You Need a DM Button?<\/h2>\n

Being a trendsetter and a trend changer, Twitter can be effectively used as a business marketing platform. Customers can also interact with you using it.<\/p>\n

So, when a customer read your tweets regarding your business, they might want to contact you. But some people find it an extra chore to visit your profile and reach you in the DMs. To facilitate customers, Twitter allows adding a direct message button in tweets. This makes communication easier for customers, and they can contact you directly from your tweets.<\/p>\n

Considering its importance, you may want to add it to your tweet as well. It\u2019s quite simple and easy. Just follow the steps given below.<\/p>\n

Step -1: Find Twitter ID<\/h3>\n

To set up this direct message button in your tweet, <\/strong>you need your Twitter account’s numeric id. It is essential because this id is needed for adding Twitter direct message link in your tweet. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Getting a numeric ID is very easy. All you have to do is input your Twitter username in the Find Twitter ID<\/a> tool. Click \u201cGet Twitter ID\u201d. And it will extract your numeric id. Copy this numeric id.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Step \u2013 2: Add the Direct Message Button<\/h3>\n

Enter the numeric id you generated earlier at the end of this URL. Its format is<\/p>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/messages\/compose?recipient_id=<\/a>{your account\u2019s numeric user ID}<\/p>\n

In my case, it is<\/p>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/messages\/compose?recipient_id=2664362681<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, you have the \u201cSend us a private message\u201d button URL.<\/p>\n

Compose your Tweet and then simply paste the above link along with your numeric id and let the magic happen. Twitter will automatically convert this link to a Direct Message button.<\/p>\n

Note: Sometimes, it may not show this button preview before you tweet it. So tweet it before worrying.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I published the tweet. Here is a live preview of it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you are offering customer support through Twitter, pin this tweet. It will make it even easier for customers to reach you.<\/p>\n
