How it works

Live in three steps

Turn the "reply to my story to get it" mechanic into an automated, always-on lead machine โ€” no manual replying, ever.

01

Post a story with a CTA

Share your story and tell people to reply with a word โ€” "Reply ME to get the checklist". A question sticker works perfectly too.

02

Set the trigger & DM

In the builder, choose the trigger word (or any story reply) and write the DM โ€” add buttons, a link, and an optional follow gate.

03

Waveloop replies to every reply

The moment someone replies to your story, they get your DM in real time โ€” at a conservative, human-like pace. You collect the lead.

Why it works

Built to convert, built to be safe

Instant, real-time replies

Every story reply gets answered the second it lands โ€” while interest is at its peak and well inside Meta's 24-hour messaging window.

Follow gate that grows you

Ask people to follow before they get the link. Convert casual viewers into followers and leads in the same DM.

Buttons & links, not walls of text

Send tappable buttons for your offer, product, or link-in-bio โ€” a clean reply that gets clicked, not skimmed.

Official Instagram Graph API

Built on Meta's official API. No browser automation, no scraping, and we never touch your password.

Human-like pacing

Replies go out at a conservative, human-like speed with no fixed daily quota โ€” keeping your account safe as volume climbs.

Every replier becomes a contact

Story repliers are captured in your Contacts automatically, so a fleeting story reply turns into a lead you actually own.

In practice

"DM me ME" โ€” automated end to end

Drop a question sticker or a plain "reply ME to get it" on your story. Waveloop watches for replies, sends your DM, gates the link behind a follow, and logs the lead โ€” all before you'd have refreshed your inbox.

  • Lead magnets: guides, checklists, discount codes, waitlists.
  • Product drops: send the shop link the instant a fan reacts.
  • Question stickers: reply to every answer with a personal DM.

FAQ

Story reply questions

What counts as a story reply? +

Any DM someone sends in response to your Instagram Story โ€” whether they type a word, answer a question sticker, or react. Waveloop can respond to a specific trigger word or to every reply.

Do I need to give Waveloop my password? +

Never. Waveloop connects through Meta's official Instagram Graph API with a secure authorization โ€” no password sharing, no browser automation, and no scraping.

Is this safe for my account? +

Yes. As a Meta-approved Instagram partner since 2025, we send replies at a conservative, human-like pace with no fixed daily quota, and we honor Meta's 24-hour messaging window โ€” the same standards Instagram expects.

Can I add a follow gate and buttons? +

Absolutely. Your story-reply DM can require a follow before revealing the link and can include tappable buttons for your offer, product, or link-in-bio โ€” just like Comment-to-DM.
