Followers first, then the link

Ask people to follow you before they get what they asked for. When they tap Done, linkpls checks the follow with Instagram, then sends the link.

What it does for you

  • Comments become follows

    A post that pulls in comments pulls in followers too.

  • Checked with Instagram

    linkpls asks Instagram whether they follow you before it sends the link.

  • You decide the edge case

    If Instagram can’t confirm the follow, send the link anyway or keep holding it.

How to set it up

  1. Create an automation.
  2. In the “Before the link” step, switch on “Ask them to follow first”.
  3. Choose what happens if the follow can’t be confirmed: send the link anyway, or keep holding it.
  4. Switch it on.

The details

The limits and rules that apply, so there are no surprises.

One message, two buttons

The first DM says what they’ll get and asks them to follow, with a Done ✅ button and a Visit profile button. Instagram allows one private reply per comment, so the ask and the buttons share that one message.

After they tap Done

linkpls checks the follow with Instagram. If they follow you, the link arrives with a thank-you. If they don’t yet, they get a reminder, up to three times.

If the follow can’t be confirmed

Choose when you set it up: send the link anyway (the default) or keep holding it.

How long it waits

A conversation waiting on a follow stays open for 48 hours.

Questions

What if they already follow me?

They tap Done and the link arrives straight away.

What if Instagram can’t confirm the follow?

You choose: send the link anyway, which is the default, or keep holding it.
