Built by creators, for creators
Lyncly was founded after watching Instagram creators manually respond to thousands of comments asking for the same link. That was a solved problem — it just needed the right tool. We built it.
The problem we set out to solve
In 2024, Instagram comment-to-DM automation existed — but it was fragile. The tools that worked relied on unofficial API access, which meant accounts got flagged, tokens expired without warning, and viral spikes crashed campaigns at the worst possible moment.
The tools built on the official Meta API were either priced for enterprise teams or so limited that serious creators hit their ceilings within a week. There was nothing in the middle — nothing designed for the creator who posts consistently, grows an engaged audience, and needs reliable automation they can trust.
Lyncly is that tool. We built it entirely on the official Meta Business Graph API — no screen scraping, no unofficial endpoints, no shortcuts that put accounts at risk. Then we added the features that were missing: Viral Protection™ for traffic spikes, Follow-Gate™ to turn viewers into followers before delivering links, and analytics that show real revenue impact, not vanity metrics.
“I wanted to build the automation tool I wish had existed when I started growing my own Instagram audience — something safe, fast, and genuinely useful for creators at every stage of growth.”
What we believe
Four principles that shape every product decision we make.
Safety first
We built Viral Protection™ because we watched creators get account flags from other tools. Every feature we ship is pressure-tested against Meta's rate-limit signals before it ever reaches production.
Real-time or nothing
Polling-based DM tools miss leads during viral spikes. Lyncly uses real-time Instagram webhooks — the DM fires in under one second because we refuse to make creators wait.
Creators over enterprise
Most DM automation tools are priced for agencies with 50-seat contracts. Lyncly starts free and scales with your growth — because the creator who has 5,000 followers deserves the same tools as the one with 5 million.
Followers before links
We invented Follow-Gate™ because we noticed creators were giving away their best content to people who never followed. Require a follow first — then deliver the link. Simple, powerful, original.
We did it the right way
Every DM Lyncly sends goes through Meta's official API. We applied for and received Instagram Business Messaging access — the same API tier used by enterprise marketing platforms — so our users never have to worry about policy violations or sudden account restrictions from unofficial automation.
