The DM is where it starts, not where it stops

Sending the message is the easy part. SocialGrow also keeps the lead, measures the click, and gets the same video working on a second platform.

contact_page

Collect emails and phone numbers

Your DM can ask for a contact detail. When they reply with one, SocialGrow checks it's a real email or number, saves it, and confirms back — so the list you export is a list you can actually mail.

One inbox for everything

Comments, DMs, and story replies in a single view. Automated replies are flagged as such, and you can step in by hand at any point.

auto_awesome

Follow up without chasing

Chain messages over hours or days — the first reply instantly, the nudge tomorrow, stopping automatically once they answer.

bolt

Triggers beyond comments

Fire the same automation from a story reply or an incoming DM. Keyword matching is fuzzy, so "LINK", "link" and "link pls!" all count.

Approved by Meta

Nothing here is a workaround

SocialGrow runs entirely on Instagram's official Graph API, with OAuth login and encrypted tokens. Every permission it uses went through Meta's app review. No scraping, no browser automation, nothing that puts your account at risk.

Comment "LINK", get the checkout link in a DM button, and see exactly how many people pressed it.

Frequently asked questions

What is SocialGrow? expand_more

SocialGrow is an Instagram automation tool for creators. It sends keyword-triggered DMs, captures the contact details people share back, tracks which DM buttons get clicked, manages comments and story replies from one inbox, and cross-posts your Reels to YouTube — all on Meta’s official Instagram Graph API.

Is it safe to use with my Instagram account? expand_more

Yes. SocialGrow uses Meta’s official OAuth login and approved Graph API permissions. We never ask for your password, never scrape, and never use unofficial workarounds. Every Instagram permission we use was reviewed and approved by Meta.

Do you need my Instagram password? expand_more

No. You connect through Meta’s own login popup, the same one used by thousands of apps. We only receive an access token, and you can revoke it from Instagram at any time.

How fast are the auto-DMs sent? expand_more

Typically within seconds. SocialGrow listens to Instagram webhooks in real time, so when someone comments your keyword the DM fires almost immediately rather than on a polling schedule.

How does lead capture work? expand_more

Your DM can ask for an email or phone number. When someone replies with one, SocialGrow validates the shape, saves it to your Leads list, and sends a short confirmation. On mobile, phone numbers can be shared with a single tap. Nothing is collected unless the person types it back to you.

What does YouTube cross-posting do? expand_more

Connect a YouTube channel and your new Instagram Reels are uploaded there as Shorts automatically — title and description included. You can also pick older Reels to send across one at a time.

Does it work with Reels, posts, and stories? expand_more

Yes. You can trigger auto-DMs from post comments, Reel comments, story replies, and incoming DMs.

Can I cancel the free trial? expand_more

Yes, from your dashboard in one click — no email and no phone call. You keep access until the end of your billing period.

Your next post can do this

Connect your account, write one rule, and the comments on your very next Reel start turning into conversations.
