Lead capture

Turn 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

The problem

You’re giving your best stuff away for nothing

Freebies get comments, but without a gate you never hear from those people again.

RENTED

Your audience lives on Instagram

If reach drops or your account has a problem, you lose your way to reach them.

ZERO

Freebies with no return

Hundreds of downloads and not a single email or follower to show for it.

MANUAL

Copying emails by hand

Scrolling DMs to paste addresses into a sheet is slow and full of mistakes.

How it works

Ask once, build your list forever

1

Offer something

A guide, a discount, early access or a waitlist spot.

2

Add an email gate

The DM asks for their email before the link goes out.

3

Export your list

Every email is saved in Contacts, ready to export as a spreadsheet.

FAQ

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.
