Send the link the moment they comment
Post a Reel, tell people to comment a word, and everyone who does gets the link in their DMs. You keep creating while Askenly answers every comment, including the ones that arrive at 3am.
Why “comment for the link” works
Instagram doesn’t allow clickable links in captions, and “link in bio” asks people to leave the post, find your profile and hunt for the right link. Many don’t. Asking them to comment a word keeps them in the moment: one comment, and the link is in their DMs.
The comments also help the post itself, because a Reel with an active comment section looks alive to everyone else scrolling past. Askenly turns every one of those comments into a delivered link, without you copying and pasting the same message all evening.
Ideas creators run with Askenly
Presets and templates
Comment PRESET and the download link arrives as a button.
Affiliate links
Comment LINK on a try-on Reel and the product links go out in the DM, each as its own button.
Workshop sign-ups
Comment CLASS to get the sign-up page and an email reminder sequence.
Story drops
Add a keyword to a Story. Everyone who replies with it gets the link.
Collab and brand enquiries
Comment COLLAB to get your media kit, and the chat moves to your Inbox for the follow-up.
Grow followers without annoying the ones you have
Follow to unlock asks people to follow before the link arrives. Askenly checks Instagram’s follow status first, so people who already follow you get the link straight away.
Everyone else gets a Follow button and an I’m following button. If Instagram can’t say whether someone follows, they still get the link, so nobody who did what your post asked is left empty-handed.

PRESET please
Follow to unlock the preset pack, then tap I’m following.
Turn comments into an email list you own
Followers can disappear with an algorithm change. An email list stays yours. With the Get more sales goal, the DM asks for an email address before sending the content, confirms it back in the chat, and saves it to the contact.
From there Askenly can send a short email sequence, such as the guide, a tip a few days later and your offer. The sequence ends early when someone clicks, so people who already acted don’t keep getting reminders.

Creator questions
Do I need a business account?
You need an Instagram professional account: Creator or Business. Switching takes a minute in Instagram’s settings and no Facebook Page is needed.

Automations keep sending until you reach your plan’s monthly DMs. You can upgrade at any time and nothing you built is lost.
Can I earn by recommending Askenly?
Yes. Partners earn 15% of a referred workspace’s first payment and 5% of each payment after that, for 12 months.

What to watch after you post
Each automation has its own page with the DMs it sent, the taps and emails it turned into qualified leads, and whether each message was delivered, over the last 30 days. If a Reel brings in comments but few taps, the opening DM is usually the thing to change: shorten it and make the button label say exactly what they get.
