How-to guides

Step-by-step setups for comment-to-DM, story replies, keyword triggers and lead capture.

How to set up comment to DM on Instagram
Set up Instagram comment-to-DM step by step: connect a professional account, pick a post, choose a keyword, write the DM, then test it from a second account.
How to automate Instagram DMs
Automate Instagram DMs the compliant way: the official API, three trigger types, message copy that earns replies, and the limits on how fast you can send.
How to capture leads from Instagram
Turn Instagram comments and story replies into email leads: the trigger, the ask, the consent text, and the follow-up that stays inside Instagram rules.
How to auto reply to Instagram story replies
Set up automatic replies to Instagram story replies and reactions using the official API, with rules, timing, keyword routing and a working setup.
How to send links in Instagram DMs
Send a link in an Instagram DM as a plain URL, a tap-to-open button or a tracked link. Fix links that will not click, and automate it within the rules.
How to track Instagram DM clicks
Track Instagram DM clicks with tracked short links: set them up, read click counts and click-through rate, and tell whether copy or offer is failing.
