How to Configure the Follower Validator

01/06/2026 •

Overview

Have you ever seen a post saying “Follow to receive the link”? In InfluenciMax, this can be done 100% automatically. The Follower Validator checks in real time whether the person follows your profile before delivering what was promised.

Before you start

  • Have an automation open in the InfluenciMax Canvas.
  • Define which content will be delivered to people who already follow your profile.
  • Prepare the message that will be sent to people who do not follow you yet.

Step by step

How does it work in practice?

  1. The Smart Filter: In your automation map (Canvas), you add the validation block. It separates users into two groups: those who already follow you and those who do not follow you yet.

At this step, notice the validation block inside the Canvas, used to separate followers from people who do not yet follow the profile.
  1. Instant Reward: If the person already follows you, they receive the link immediately. This creates instant satisfaction and increases the perceived value of your support.

The flow shows separate paths to deliver the content to followers and guide people who still need to follow.
  1. The Invitation to Follow: If the person does not follow you, the bot sends a friendly message asking for the follow. It is the most efficient way to “convert” a comment from a stranger into a new loyal follower.
  2. The Verification Button: You create a button for the person to click after following you. This button makes the system check again and, this time, release the final content.

After asking the person to follow the profile, configure the verification button so the system checks again and releases the content.

If something does not work

  • The person does not receive the link: check whether the follower path is connected to the message that delivers the promised content.
  • The user does not follow the profile: confirm that the invitation message is clear and that the verification button was configured correctly.
  • The flow has a dead end: make sure both validator paths, followers and non-followers, have a connected next step.

Expected result

In addition to increasing your number of followers organically, you ensure that your links and free materials are delivered only to people who are truly part of your community. It is the perfect strategy to go viral and scale.
