Answer every “link please” — and grow your list while you do it
The problem: A good reel brings hundreds of comments asking for the link, the guide or the code. Replying by hand takes hours, so most people never get what they asked for — and you never learn who they were.

The flow, step by step
What happens from first comment to captured lead
Every step is something you switch on, edit or remove in the builder, with a live preview of exactly what people will receive.
- Step 1 · Trigger
Someone comments “GUIDE” on your reel
Whole-word matching means “linkedin” never fires it. Limit it to one run per person per day so nobody is messaged twice.
- Step 2 · Public reply
A public reply that never looks copy-pasted
Rotates several wordings and uses their name: “Hey Asha, sent it to your DMs 📩”. A similarity guard avoids near-identical replies in a row.
- Step 3 · Follow check
Optionally ask them to follow first
DynamicDM checks whether they follow you and nudges with an “I followed ✓” button (up to the number of times you choose). If Instagram can’t tell, it carries on rather than blocking a real fan.
- Step 4 · DM
Private message with your link and buttons
Instagram allows one message in reply to a comment, so this is the one that carries your guide, a button and a friendly line.
- Step 5 · Question
Ask for their email
The answer is validated (typos are politely re-asked) and saved on the contact, ready to use in later messages.
- Step 6 · Link
Every link click is counted
See how many people actually opened the guide — not just who commented.
- Step 7 · Integration
Send the lead to your email tool
A signed webhook can feed Zapier, Make or Google Sheets, which can add them to Mailchimp, Kit or your newsletter.
How it helps
What changes for you
Nobody is left on “seen”
Every commenter gets what they asked for within moments, even at 2 a.m. or when a reel goes viral.
Your audience becomes your list
Instead of a pile of comments you get emails you own, with the keyword and post they came from.
You learn what converts
Insights show triggers, link clicks and leads per automation, so you can double down on the content that works.
Getting set up
What you configure
- 1Choose the keyword you’ll ask people to comment (for example GUIDE).
- 2Write two or three variations of the public reply.
- 3Add your guide link as a button and ask for an email.
- 4Connect your email tool with a webhook (optional).
Features this flow uses
Teams & accountability
Run by a team? Everything is accounted for
Many creators hand their DMs to a manager or an agency. Everyone works inside one workspace, every message and change is recorded, and you keep ownership of the account.
An audit log of changes
Creating, editing or deleting an automation, connecting or disconnecting an account, changing integrations and resuming a paused conversation are recorded with who did it and when.
Every message on record
Each comment, reply and DM is logged with its status, the automation and message variant that sent it, and the reason if it failed. Searchable and exportable.
Replies carry a name
When a teammate replies from the inbox it shows “Sent by” their name, and automations pause for that person so only one voice speaks.
The right access for each person
Five roles from owner to read-only viewer decide who can edit, who can reply and who can only look.
Roles for every person on the team
- OwnerFull control of the workspace
- AdminAccounts, integrations, audit log
- EditorBuilds automations, replies to people
- AnalystReads insights and the message log
- ViewerRead-only, e.g. a client or stakeholder
Inviting teammates from inside the app is coming soon.
A mobile app is on the roadmap
Planned · not available yetSo every role can do their part from a phone: editors replying to people who need a human, analysts checking the numbers, and owners keeping an eye on activity.
