How to Configure the Follower Validator and DM Data Collection

01/06/2026 •

Overview

Have you ever seen a post saying "Follow to receive the link" or "Comment to receive the catalog"? 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, while the Data Collector turns that DM interaction into a valuable contact list.

Having thousands of followers without anyone's contact information is like having a store full of people who only look at the window and leave. On Instagram, the follower belongs to Meta; if the account goes down tomorrow, you lose everything. The real wealth of your business is the data.

Before you start

  • Have an automation created in the InfluenciMax Canvas.
  • Define which material will be delivered, such as a catalog, link, coupon, or free content.
  • Prepare the messages for people who already follow you, people who do not follow you yet, and the WhatsApp and email data collection step.

Step by step

How does it work in practice?

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

Use the validation block to split the flow between people who already follow the profile and people who do not follow it yet.

Instant Reward: If the person already follows you, they move forward in the flow to receive the catalog or link immediately. This creates instant satisfaction and increases the perceived value of your support.

Flow path for followers who receive the promised content
Configure the path for existing followers to move directly to the content delivery or to the next funnel step.

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.

Flow path inviting non-followers to follow the profile
The non-follower path should explain the next step and guide the person to follow the profile.

The Verification Button: You create a button for the person to click as soon as they follow you. This button makes the system check again and, this time, release the content.

After the person follows the profile, the verification button lets the system validate again and release the next block.

Qualified Capture (WhatsApp and Email): Right after the follow is validated, the system runs the "Collect Data" block. The bot interacts in a human way using the user's name and asks for WhatsApp and email. If the person enters an incorrect format, the native validator blocks the answer and immediately warns that the format is invalid, ensuring a clean list.

Complete flow with data collection and final delivery by DM
After validating the follow, use the Collect Data block to capture WhatsApp and email before the final delivery.

The Perfect Delivery: As soon as the data is entered correctly, the system delivers the content using a button-based DM with a clean and clickable link, saving the information in detailed reports and in your general contacts area.

If something does not work

  • The user does not move forward in the flow: check whether the Follower Validator block is connected to both paths: followers and non-followers.
  • The button does not release the content: verify whether the verification button is connected to a new check or to the correct delivery step.
  • Invalid data: review the type of data requested in the Collect Data block to ensure WhatsApp and email are validated correctly.
  • The contact does not appear in the base: confirm that the collected data is being saved in the correct variables and that the person completed the capture 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. At the same time, each interaction can become a qualified contact with WhatsApp and email saved for future sales and relationship strategies.
