No. Unfortunately, Meta doesn't allow this. Your follower must initiate the conversation in order for Instagram DM Marketing to work. However, we do have a feature called "Follower Check", which checks if the person is following your account.

Can I send a bulk message or broadcast to all of my followers?

Yes! Using Instagram DM Lists (currently in open beta), you're able to send followers who opt-in a DM message on a regular basis, similar to an email blast. You can use this for special offers, digital newsletters, challenges, and so much more!

Will Instagram DM Marketing make conversations sound like a robot, and not like my brand?
