More for training centers [Education](https://creatorflow.so/industries/education)[Course creators](https://creatorflow.so/for/course-creators)[Collect emails](https://creatorflow.so/use-case/collect-emails)[All industries](https://creatorflow.so/industries) **Does CreatorFlow enroll students for us?** No. CreatorFlow sends the link to your course page by DM. People enroll on your page, and your staff review each one. CreatorFlow does not see who enrolled or how many places are left. **Which enrollment or student software works with it?** Any software that gives you a link, or a simple online form. Paste the link into the DM as a button. CreatorFlow does not connect to your software, so course records stay where they are. **Can it tell someone if they can join a course or get funding?** No. CreatorFlow sends the same DM whenever someone uses the keyword. It does not check age, grades, funding or work history. Those questions stay in your Instagram inbox for your course adviser. **What if the person does not follow our center?** They still get the DM. Instagram puts it in their Message Requests, so they may see it a little later. **Can teenagers get the DM?** Not always. Instagram limits who can message teen accounts, so a teen may not get the DM. Write your posts and DMs for adult learners and parents. **Can our course advisers and reception share it?** Not with their own logins. CreatorFlow has no team seats, and each account has one Google login. Each campus with its own Instagram account gets its own workspace. Free has 1, Pro has 2 and Growth has 5. **Is it safe for our training center's Instagram account?** CreatorFlow is a Meta-approved Tech Provider and sends messages through Instagram's official API. Your center does not share its 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 training center?** CreatorFlow is free for 500 DMs a month, with comment, Story reply and keyword DM automations. Pro costs $15 a month for 5,000 DMs and adds Email Gate, link tracking and CSV export. Growth costs $30 a month for 10,000 DMs and 5 workspaces. Every plan includes unlimited automations. ## Course enrollments from your class Reels Give each course Reel its own keyword, like COOK. Put your course page in the DM. Future students read the fee and start date at 10 pm too.
