Creator plan

Ask people to follow before they get your link

Someone comments, you ask them to follow, and they get the DM once they've followed.

How does follow to get the link work on Instagram?

On Hypee's Creator plan, you can turn on "ask for follow" on a comment automation. The person gets a private message asking them to follow you and reply DONE. When they do, Hypee checks they follow you and sends your real DM.

If they haven't followed, Hypee asks once more and then stops, so nobody gets repeat messages. The Creator plan is ₹99 a month.

Why it needs a reply

Meta allows one private reply to a comment, and it has to be text. Hypee can only check whether someone follows you after they've replied. That's why the flow asks them to reply DONE.

When to use it

  • When you're giving away something valuable, like a free guide.
  • On Reels that reach lots of non-followers.
  • Not on every post: an extra step means fewer people finish.

Rules to follow

  • Be clear about the step in your Reel.
  • Don't make misleading promises to get follows.
  • Check Instagram's rules before using this in a giveaway.
