CreatorFlow and LinkFliq solve different problems. CreatorFlow automates Instagram DMs to help creators convert followers into customers through comment-to-DM, story reply, and keyword-triggered automations. LinkFliq focuses on moderating negative comments on Instagram posts and ads to protect brand reputation. Choose based on your primary goal: driving sales through DMs (CreatorFlow) or managing comment sections (LinkFliq).
Yes. Since CreatorFlow and LinkFliq serve different purposes, you can use both tools together. Use LinkFliq to moderate negative comments on your posts and ads, and use CreatorFlow to automatically DM followers who comment with trigger keywords. The tools complement each other for a complete Instagram engagement strategy.
No. CreatorFlow does not moderate, hide, or delete comments. CreatorFlow reads comments to detect trigger keywords, then sends automated DMs to those commenters. If you need comment moderation or negative comment management, LinkFliq or similar tools are designed for that purpose.
CreatorFlow is designed specifically to drive sales through Instagram DMs. When followers comment trigger keywords like LINK or INFO, CreatorFlow automatically sends them a personalized DM with your product link, booking page, or lead magnet. This direct DM approach converts engagement into sales. LinkFliq focuses on brand protection rather than direct sales conversion. See how content creators use CreatorFlow.
Yes. CreatorFlow uses Instagram's official Graph API and is a Meta-approved provider. CreatorFlow respects Instagram's rate limits and follows all platform guidelines. Your account is safe when using CreatorFlow for DM automation.
It depends on your goals. If you primarily want to convert engagement into sales through automated DMs, CreatorFlow alone may be sufficient. If you run ads and struggle with negative comments affecting your ad performance, adding LinkFliq makes sense. Many brands use DM automation for sales and comment moderation for reputation management together.
CreatorFlow automates the entire process of converting Instagram engagement into sales. Set up trigger keywords (like LINK, INFO, GUIDE), and when followers comment those words, they automatically receive a DM with your product link, booking page, or lead magnet. You can also capture emails before sending links, building your list while making sales. See our pricing page for details.
CreatorFlow is not a comment moderation tool. Instead of managing what appears in your comment section, CreatorFlow uses comments as triggers to start DM conversations. When someone comments a keyword, CreatorFlow sends them a personalized DM. This proactive approach converts curious followers into customers through direct messaging.
