Buttons, not typing
Give people choices to tap. Each button can lead to a different branch, so a wholesale buyer and a retail buyer get different questions.
Run a giveaway that collects the details by itself
A flow is the conversation that runs after somebody comments your keyword or sends you a DM. It asks for an email, then a phone number, then sends the link, saving each answer against that person as it goes. Every link button is counted too, so on Monday you know who entered and who opened what you sent.

Hand over when it matters
End a branch by passing the chat to you, and everything automatic stops there until you have replied.
Questions people actually ask
- What is a DM flow on Instagram and how does it work?
- A flow is the conversation that runs after somebody comments your keyword or sends you a DM. You build it once on one screen as a list of steps: a trigger, the questions you want answered, and a message or a link at the end. It asks a question, waits for the reply, saves the answer against that person, then moves on to the next step.
- How do I run an Instagram giveaway without collecting entries by hand at midnight?
- Let the flow ask for whatever an entry needs (an email, then a phone number) and leave it running while you sleep. Each reply is saved against the person who sent it, so in the morning you have the entry list instead of a night spent scrolling comments and copying addresses across. If you change the flow while it is live it pauses itself, so nobody is left halfway through a version that no longer exists.
- Can one flow ask a wholesale buyer different questions from someone who just wants one box?
- Yes. Give people buttons to tap instead of making them type, and point each button at its own set of questions. The wholesale button can ask for a company name and a quantity, while the one box button goes straight to a delivery address. That is one flow with two paths in it.
- Do I own the email list, or is it locked inside the tool?
- It is yours. Every answer is stored against the person who gave it, and the whole list downloads as a spreadsheet whenever you want it. A contact list you cannot take out of a tool is not really your list, so the download stays one button away.
- What happens when someone wants to talk to an actual person?
- Point that branch at a handover. Everything automatic stops in that chat until you have replied yourself, so nobody is being answered by a script while they wait for you. A flow that cannot step aside when a real conversation starts costs you more than the typing it saved.
- How much do DM flows cost?
- Flows come with the Growth plan at ₹899$25 a month, which runs 3 at once. Agency at ₹1,599$40 runs 10. The 15 day free trial includes 2 and needs no card. If you want one more than your plan runs, extra flows are ₹49$3 each.
