If you are serious about scaling your business on Instagram, you already know that "basic" automation doesn’t cut it anymore. Sending a static auto-reply like "Thanks for your message!" is a tactic from 2015. Today, you need dynamic workflows that talk to your CRM, update your spreadsheets, and trigger real business actions instantly.
That is why we are thrilled to announce a game-changing update: InstantDM is now officially available on Make.com. The Safest Instagram Automation tool just got smartest.
This isn’t just an update; it’s a complete unlocking of what is possible with Instagram DM automation.
Check out the integration here: InstantDM on Make.com
Why Basic Automation is Killing Your Conversions
Most Instagram tools on the market are "walled gardens." They let you set up a few keyword triggers inside their app, and that’s it.
But your business lives everywhere—not just on Instagram. You have leads in HubSpot, orders in Shopify, community data in Airtable, and communication channels on Slack.
When you use basic automation tools, your data is trapped. You have to manually copy-paste leads or pay for expensive, clunky enterprise connectors.
InstantDM changes that. We built InstantDM to be the robust engine for your DMs, and now, by integrating with Make.com, we are the most connected tool in your stack.
What You Can Build with InstantDM x Make.com
With this integration, you can connect your Instagram DMs to over 3,000+ apps without writing a single line of code. Here is how advanced users are already leveraging this power:
1. The "AI Sales Agent" Workflow
Don't just reply; converse.
Trigger: User DMs a keyword (e.g., "PRICE").
InstantDM: Captures the message.
Make.com: Sends the prompt to OpenAI (ChatGPT) with your specific sales instructions.
Action: Returns a human-like, context-aware answer back to the user’s DM instantly.
2. The "VIP Support" Filter
Stop missing high-value clients in message requests.
Trigger: Incoming DM from a user.
Make.com: Checks the username against your Google Sheet or Stripe customer database.
Action: If they are a VIP customer, InstantDM triggers a specific "Priority Support" flow and alerts your team on Slack.

Result: Zero manual work, infinite scale.

Speed: Make.com scenarios trigger in real-time. Your customers get answers while their interest is hottest.
