Is AutoDM safe for my Instagram account?
Zavil connects through Instagram's official API for business and creator accounts, the route Instagram approves for automation tools. It only replies to people who comment your keyword, and stays within Instagram's messaging limits.
How many AutoDMs can I send?
100 a month on Free, 5,000 on Creator ($19) and unlimited on Pro ($49).
Do I need a business or creator account?
Yes. Instagram only allows automated DMs from professional accounts. Switching is free and takes a minute in the Instagram app.
