Follower checks in Instagram
Before sending a guide, your bot asks Instagram whether the person follows you. Followers get the resource. Others are asked to follow and receive a button to check again.
- Someone writes a keyword — under a post or in DMs
- Your bot checks whether they follow you — through Instagram
- Followers get the guide — others get an “I’m following” button
