Lead captureTurn comments into emails you own
Followers can disappear with one algorithm change. An email list can’t. Automations Hub asks for an email in the DM before sending the freebie, and saves every contact for you.
FREE PLAN · NO CARD NEEDED · OFFICIAL INSTAGRAM API
You’re giving your best stuff away for nothing
Freebies get comments, but without a gate you never hear from those people again.
Your audience lives on Instagram
If reach drops or your account has a problem, you lose your way to reach them.
Freebies with no return
Hundreds of downloads and not a single email or follower to show for it.
Copying emails by hand
Scrolling DMs to paste addresses into a sheet is slow and full of mistakes.
Ask once, build your list forever
Offer something
A guide, a discount, early access or a waitlist spot.
Add an email gate
The DM asks for their email before the link goes out.
Export your list
Every email is saved in Contacts, ready to export as a spreadsheet.

Questions about lead capture
Where do the emails go?
Into your Contacts in Automations Hub. Export them as a CSV and import into Mailchimp, Klaviyo or any email tool.
What if someone types a wrong email?
The DM asks them to try again if the address doesn’t look valid.
Can I ask for a follow and an email?
Yes. Use a follow gate and an email gate in the same automation.
