It does one thing perfectly: it turns your comments into direct, personal conversations that give your audience exactly what they asked for — fast, compliant, and easy. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Is comment-to-DM automation against Instagram's rules? No — WilloSend runs entirely on Instagram's official API through Meta. It respects Instagram's 24-hour messaging window, so your account stays completely safe and in good standing. ### Do I need an Instagram Business or Creator account? Yes. WilloSend connects to Instagram Business or Creator accounts through Meta's official API. If you're on a personal account, switching takes two minutes in the app and unlocks automation. ### What happens if someone comments on an old post? WilloSend listens for new comments on any connected post. As long as they comment the keyword, the DM sends instantly. ### How is WilloSend different from ManyChat? ManyChat is a complex tool built for marketing agencies. It charges you based on how many contacts you have. WilloSend does one thing — comment-to-DM automation — with a flat price and a setup you can finish in two minutes. ### Can I use WilloSend on Reels and Stories, not just posts? Yes. Keyword triggers work across posts, Reels, and Stories, so a comment on any content type will trigger your DM. ### Do I need to know how to code or build chatbot flows? No. There are no complicated visual flowcharts to build. You just type in your keyword, paste your link, and you're done. ## Let your next Reel do the work Set up your first automation in 2 minutes — no flowchart builder, no per-contact fees.
