Tell them to comment "LINK". WilloSend instantly DMs them your affiliate link so you capture the commission. It's that simple. [Start your free 7-day trial](/pricing) You post a product review Reel, get 200 comments asking "where did you get this?", and manually copy-paste your affiliate link to each person while trying to create your next video. WilloSend delivers your exact affiliate link via DM the second someone comments — so you never miss a commission while you're creating. ## How WilloSend Works for Affiliate Creators 1. 1 ### Post your Reel or Story Add a call-to-action telling followers to comment a trigger word (e.g., "LINK", "OUTFIT", "SETUP"). 2. 2 ### WilloSend detects the comment The moment someone comments your keyword, WilloSend fires through the official Meta API. No bots, no password sharing. 3. 3 ### They receive your DM instantly Your exact affiliate link (Mavely, LTK, Amazon, ShareASale, Impact, etc.) arrives in seconds, while buying intent is at peak. 4. 4 ### Optional: follow-gate Require them to follow your account before receiving the link. Every like, comment, and share tells Instagram's algorithm your content deserves more reach and a follow-gate turns that moment into growth too. The person following isn't a random follow; they followed because they wanted your affiliate code or product link. That means they're already interested in what you post, so they're far more likely to engage with your future content instead of just inflating your follower count. 5. 5 ### Optional: follow-up DM 24 hours later, send a second message automatically. WilloSend is one of the only tools that does this. ## Affiliate Creator-Specific Use Cases - **"LINK" trigger** — "Comment LINK for my Amazon storefront" → auto-DM sends your exact affiliate link for any platform - **Follow-gate** — Require a follow before delivering the link — grow your audience and affiliate revenue simultaneously - **Follow-up DM** — 24 hours later: "Did you find what you needed?

Will my affiliate commissions be tracked correctly? Yes. WilloSend delivers your exact affiliate link — tracking is handled by your affiliate platform, not WilloSend. What if a post goes viral? WilloSend's overage protection handles volume spikes safely within Meta's rate limits. No accounts flagged, no missed commissions. Do I need a Business Instagram account? Yes — Instagram's API requires a Business or Creator account. Switching is free and takes 2 minutes. What's the difference between Basic and Pro? Basic ($9/mo) covers 1,000 DMs/mo. Pro ($19/mo) adds 5,000 DMs, follow-up DMs, follow-gate, and email capture. Does the follow-gate actually help my account? Yes. Every like, comment, and share tells Instagram's algorithm your content deserves more reach and a follow-gate turns that moment into growth too. The person following isn't a random follow; they followed because they wanted your affiliate link. That means they're already interested in what you post, so they're far more likely to engage with your future content instead of just inflating your follower count. ## Ready to automate your DMs?
