Follow gate
The freebie only followers get.
Instagram follow gate: ask non-followers to follow and comment again, then auto-DM the download. Included on Free — not locked behind a paid tier.
What you get
Built for creators who reply in private.
The same automation stack — tuned to what you came here looking for.
01
On Free
Follow gate is not a Creator upsell.
02
Custom ask
Write the follow-and-comment-again message yourself.
03
Then deliver
The same automation sends the freebie once they follow.
04
Measure it
Tracked links show whether the gated DM got taps.
01
A follow gate is a door, not a trick
You promised a guide, a preset, a discount. People who already follow you should get it immediately. People who do not should be asked — clearly — to follow and comment again. When they do, the DM goes out. No spreadsheet. No leftover “I’ll send it later.”
02
Why we put it on Free
A lot of Instagram tools hide follow-gating on the paid plan. Xuios includes it on Free, with tracked links and story triggers, because the feature is how a giveaway becomes a list — not a luxury add-on.
03
What the non-follower sees
A short public or private ask: follow, then comment the keyword again. Xuios checks follow state through the official API path your connected professional account allows. Followers skip the extra step.
FAQ
Common questions
Is a follow gate allowed?
Asking someone who already commented to follow you, then delivering a DM after they engage again, is a common official-API pattern. Xuios does not scrape follower graphs with unofficial tools.
Can I turn it off?
Yes. Follow gate is a switch on each automation.
Does it work with story replies?
You can combine story triggers with a follow gate when you want the story link to be follower-only.
