# Sign-up link from a conversation

Talemo has a business of its own and answers people in Instagram Direct from it,
the way a salon answers its clients. When a conversation ends with an invitation
to try Talemo, the reply carries a link to sign up.

## Who has it

Only the business that is Talemo itself has the link. In a customer's business
there is no **Sign-up link** button, and the assistant and the online admin of that
business cannot make one: the tool `talemo_signup_link` is not offered there, and
a call by name is answered as if the conversation did not exist.

## How it is made

- A person writes a reply in **Messages**, in a conversation of Talemo's business,
  and presses **Sign-up link** beside the reply field. The link is put into the text
  of the reply; the person reads it and sends it.
- Talemo's own assistant closes a conversation in Direct with the same link.

`talemo_signup_link` makes the link for a conversation. With `dry_run` it shows the
link that would be made and issues nothing; a program shows that to the person
before the real call.

## What the person who gets it sees

The link opens the arrival page of Talemo, with the cookie banner (see
[Arriving from the landing page, and the cookie choice](arrival-and-consent.md)).
If the person allows cookies, Talemo remembers which conversation the link came
from; if not, it remembers nothing, and sign-up works the same.

The link carries what the person said in the conversation: the industry they
named and the language they wrote in, when Talemo speaks it, Russian or English. The
page then opens in that language, and the step **What you do** of creating a
business has the industry already, marked **from the conversation in Instagram**
(or WhatsApp, or Messenger: the chat the link was sent in). It can be changed (see
[Creating a business](creating-a-business.md)).
