This feature is available with ManyChat, and some of our users would like to be able to require their contacts to follow them on Instagram first before the HL system automatically sends the contact their lead magnet. This would be an awesome, and helpful, add-on to the "Reply Via DM" automation.

This feature would save a ton of time and energy. The way Instagram works, if someone comments the keyword to trigger the automation, if they aren't following you first, the message gets sent as a message invite. If they even see it at all, they then respond with, I didn't get your message. So, then the business owner has to to hand type in all the info, links, etc. and for some reason no matter how many times you say it, how you word it, people still drop that keyword without following first.
