Follow & like
Instagram auto follow and like that targets prospects, not random accounts
Follow the specific accounts you want to work with and like their latest post, a day or two before you DM them. Private accounts get a follow request, every action is paced like a person, and daily limits keep the account safe.

Overview
Targeted engagement, not follow-for-follow
Old-school Instagram automation followed thousands of random accounts and hoped some followed back. That’s not what this is. ReachPods follows and likes only the leads in your campaign: the brands, creators and businesses you actually want to talk to.
The Follow account step follows the lead, or sends a follow request if their account is private. Like last post likes their most recent post. Both show up in the prospect’s notifications with your name and picture, so when your DM arrives a few days later, you’re not a stranger.
Follows and likes each default to 25 per account per day, with random 60 to 180 second gaps, working hours and warm-up for new accounts.
Follow
Auto follow Instagram prospects, with requests for private accounts
Place a Follow account step at the start of an Instagram sequence. Public accounts are followed; private ones receive a follow request, exactly like a person tapping the button.

Like
Auto like each prospect’s latest Instagram post
Like last post likes the lead’s most recent post. Spread it a day after the follow so the two notifications arrive separately, then add a comment for an even warmer touch.
