Every link grows your following
The follow gate asks for a follow before the link is delivered — so viral moments compound into audience, not just traffic.
How it works
A post travels beyond your audience
Viral reach is mostly strangers — people who'd tap your link and never think of you again.
The gate makes a warm ask
inDM's DM asks for the follow first, in your words, and delivers the link right after — one tap each way.
Reach becomes audience
The stranger who came for the link leaves as a follower — and the next post starts from a bigger base.

Where it shines
Questions, answered plainly
Does the follow gate annoy people?
Not when the ask is warm and the payoff is instant — you wrote both. One follow for something they already want is a fair trade, and the DM delivers the moment they tap. If it doesn't fit a post, switch the gate off for that automation.
How is the follow checked?
inDM checks follow status through Instagram's official API at send time — no scraping, no guesswork. New followers get the link immediately.
Will this work on a post that's already viral?
Yes — attach the automation to the post that's moving right now and it starts answering new comments immediately. The earlier it's on, the more of the wave it catches.
