📸 Instagram Auto-Reply DMs
What this does: sends an Instagram DM to fans when they mention the artist in their story. You write the message, and you have the option to link to a Drop or an external link.
Add a Content Drop link to the message so fans can easily share their content with you. There are two variations of Content Drop:
Fan Content Feed – other fans can see the content
Private Submission – content only goes to you

All uploads go through co:brand content moderation, and both upload methods give you permission to use the content for marketing and promotional purposes.
👤 A Drop Profile is required before you can create a Content Drop link. This only takes a minute, and email-only profiles carry no additional charges.
