WilloSend listens to your story replies and instantly DMs your followers the link they want. [Try it free for 7 days](/pricing) ## Your stories are your most personal channel When someone replies to your story, they're not passively scrolling. They're actively responding to something you just shared. That's a signal that they're one of your most engaged followers — and the perfect moment to move them further into your funnel. ### The timing problem with manual replies If you post a story with a call to action — "Reply 'LINK' for the free guide" — the replies trickle in throughout the day. By the time you respond, hours have passed. Some people have lost interest. Others have already gone to bed. You end up either responding late or spending chunks of your day copy-pasting the same link over and over. ### How WilloSend automates story replies WilloSend monitors your active stories and responds to keyword replies instantly. You post a story with your offer and tell viewers to reply with a specific word. When someone sends that reply, WilloSend automatically responds with a DM containing your link. It happens in seconds, while that person is still watching stories and still in the mindset to take action. ### More than just link delivery The same automation works for polls, question stickers, or any story feature that generates replies. Use it to deliver freebies, send discount codes, collect waitlist signups, or start conversations with your most engaged followers. Story replies feel personal and one-on-one, which means higher response rates and stronger connections with your audience. ## Turn story replies into automated conversions. Your most engaged followers are already replying to your stories. Make every reply count — automatically.
