Instagram DM automation for boutiques & dropshippers: every comment becomes a checkout

FAQs
Can I send a different link for every product post?
Yes — automations target specific posts, so each product Reel carries its own DM link. Build once per product, reuse the recipe.
What happens during a viral spike of comments?
The free plan sends 500 DMs a day (resetting daily), which absorbs most product spikes; Pro removes the ceiling entirely with unlimited sends.
Do customers mind getting DMs?
They asked — the DM is the thing they commented for, delivered privately. It's service, not spam, and it runs on Instagram's official API.
