2. Create an automation
- Open AutoDM and choose New automation.
- Pick the post or reel to watch.
- Set your keyword and write the DM with your link.
- Turn it on.
3. Capture and sell
Set up your link-in-bio storefront so the leads you DM become contacts you own, then sell products, courses or bookings.
