Not automatically include Manychat/LinkDM initiated Instagram conversations into Dex

Content creators or e-commerce business owners typically use Instagram to contact and network. A lot of their short videos have comment-to-DM automations; for example, they may say “comment ‘guide’ to download my free e-commerce tutorial,” and anyone who comments so will receive an automated DM. This is usually realized with Manychat or LinkDM and isn’t really the creator establishing a new connection with someone. Could you write a feature that stops Dex from automatically including these conversations in the contact list? I believe this feature is possible to create because these automated DMs usually look very different from regular DMs (screenshots attached). Perhaps Instagram’s API that you are interacting with will tell you that this DM isn’t of the same type when the creator actively messages someone.
