From comment to contact, automatically
Someone engages
They comment a keyword on your post, reply to your story, or DM you first — any trigger you've already set up for auto-DM.
The DM asks for a detail
Your automation includes a step that asks for an email or phone number, in your own words, as part of the conversation.
It's validated and saved
SocialGrow checks the reply looks like a real email or number, retries politely if it doesn't, and files it the moment it's confirmed.
A lead exists because they typed it back to you
Contact, not just conversation
A DM thread disappears into your inbox. A saved email or phone number is something you can reach again next week, next month, or in a newsletter.
Validated before it's saved
No junk rows from a stray "thanks!" reply — SocialGrow checks the shape of the response and asks again if it doesn't look real.
One-tap on mobile
Where Instagram supports it, people can share their phone number with a tap instead of typing it out, so fewer drop off mid-reply.
CSV export, no limit
Pull your full leads list whenever you want it — into a CRM, a spreadsheet, or an email tool. No row cap, no lock-in.
Frequently asked questions
How do you capture leads from Instagram DMs?
SocialGrow asks for an email or phone number as part of an automated DM sequence — after someone comments a keyword or messages you, the automation requests a contact detail, validates that what comes back looks real (not a stray word or emoji), and saves it to a leads list. Nothing is captured silently; a lead exists because the person typed it back to you inside the conversation.
Is Instagram DM lead capture Meta-compliant?
Yes, when built on Meta's official Graph API like SocialGrow. The automation only reads and sends messages through Instagram's approved messaging endpoints — no scraping, no browser automation, no access to anything beyond what the person shares in the conversation.
What happens if someone gives an invalid email or phone number?
SocialGrow validates the shape of the reply and sends a polite retry if it doesn't look like a usable contact detail, instead of saving bad data. On mobile, Instagram also supports one-tap phone number sharing, which skips typing entirely.
Can I export captured leads?
Yes. Every lead is listed with who they are, what they submitted, and which automation asked for it, and the full list exports to CSV with no row limit.
