More for driving schools [Training centers](https://creatorflow.so/industries/training-centers)[Bookings by DM](https://creatorflow.so/use-case/book-appointments)[Collect emails](https://creatorflow.so/use-case/collect-emails)[All industries](https://creatorflow.so/industries) **Does CreatorFlow book lessons for me?** No. CreatorFlow sends your booking link by DM, and the learner books in your booking tool. It does not see your free hours or test dates. **Which booking tools work with it?** Any booking tool that gives you a link. Paste the link into the DM as a button. CreatorFlow does not connect to your booking tool, so when prices change, you change the DM. **Will a teen learner get the DM?** Maybe not. Instagram limits who can message teen accounts, so a teen may not receive the DM. Write your posts for parents and adult learners. A parent can then book for the teen. **Does it answer questions about the next lesson?** No. CreatorFlow sends only the DM you wrote for each keyword or Story. Questions about a learner's next lesson stay in your Instagram inbox for you to answer. **Can my instructors have their own logins?** No. CreatorFlow has no team seats, and each account has one Google login. An instructor with a separate Instagram account uses a separate workspace: 1 on Free, 2 on Pro and 5 on Growth. **Is it safe for my driving school's Instagram account?** CreatorFlow is a Meta-approved Tech Provider and sends messages through Instagram's official API. You do not share your password. It only replies to people who contacted you first. Instagram decides how it applies its rules, so no tool can promise your account will never be limited. **How much does Instagram DM automation cost for a driving school?** CreatorFlow is free for 500 DMs a month, with comment, Story reply and keyword DM automations.
