# Collect emails from your Instagram DMs

Ask for an email in the DM, check it and send your freebie, automatically. No forms needed.

Awwtomation collects emails from Instagram comments and DMs inside the conversation. A keyword comment or DM starts a flow that asks for an email, validates it, re-asks if it's mistyped, saves it to the contact and tags them as a lead. Contacts export to CSV.
