Q: Why have you not answered questions since Aug 15th?
Still viable? We had interest in your product, but without seeing any answers to the questions answered here since August 15th it leaves us questioning if you're going to be around.
You mentioned in one or more answers previous to August 15, 2021 that you were about to get some certifications or permissions of significance from Instagram any day. It appeared to be a big deal. Did this happen? If not, does this put the app at risk of being of little value?
Why not answer the questions? Still interested but now your leaving Appsumo in 2 days and without questions answered it's too risky.
I asked a couple of questions yet received no answer, just the type of response you get from somebody's robotic chatbot.
I will make it a little simpler. Only one question.
Why have you stopped answering questions that are being asked here regarding your product?
Possible answers: (1) You team is too small and there is not enough bandwidth to get back to people within 20 days. (2) You don't think the questions that have been asked deserve an answer. (3) An unforeseen bomb (not a real bomb, but rather significant bad news) was dropped on your business which makes the future unsure and you don't want to alert sumo-lings because they might have time yet to seek a refund. (4) All of the above.
Sorry, but I have run several businesses and the ONLY reason to ignore potential customers and not answer their questions, as you are now doing here, is because significant changes have taken place that will impact the business going forward and you are not prepared to let the world know. Most likely it's bad news for sumo-lings. Would love to be shown and proven that I am wrong. I love to support startups, but I also hate to see others get taken advantage of.
Good luck, and hope sumo-lings are asking themselves - "What does this mean?"
Q: Good evening
I really do not know why the creators are not allowing the account swap.
In todays economy, it is viable that if business has an insta account and the owner of that business desides to sell the whole package ( website and social accounts, maybe even a physical company ) SAAS will not be included in the deal. So allowing the account swap is a must.
I really thought, ill grab one code but with that restriction, the deal stays on the table. Sad, but with this miscalculation by the creators side. Sumolings here even were ok with the $ to be charged for the account swap , but no.. It´s ten better not to have such a deals here at all.
So Appsumo team, i understand You want to bring here variety of offerings but consider, for future reference, that such a rigid rules will not work out for the best. Due the fact that most people here are entrepreneurs owning multiple businesses.
I just purchased two codes, signed up... Then I get the message:
"Temporarily Ineligible Accounts Instagram Messaging tools are currently available to accounts with 1k-100k followers. Get started with InstaChamp today, and we'll notify you when your account is eligible!"
My account has 196k followers.
I couldn't see where it said anything about this in the sales spiel?
A: Hi @Sumo-ling! Congrats on building your 196K audience! The automation superpowers are key to turning your followers into buyers.
Hang tight, Instagram is expanding eligibility to all accounts this month! If you build you automations now then they will be ready to go when Instagram flips that switch.
A: Hi @abhishek726, selling in DMs is a great use for InstaChamp. You can set up a comment autoresponder that DMs people with a link to the product in the post that they comment on. It's also a tool you can use to run contests and giveaways to grow your following. Thanks for checking out InstaChamp!
Q: Hi,
Like many others I can see the value of this, but not being able to change account is a bit of a deal breaker.
As a Sumoling I regularly pivot to another business idea if one is not successful. I'm sure I'm not the only one, and it doesn't make sense to buy a huge amount of accounts that I may never use, or potentially not activate within the six months time frame you provided to someone else.
I understand that changing Instagram accounts may be a time-consuming process on your end, but what about if this could only be done only every 3 or 6 months - and cost a fee for your time (e.g. $50 per change)?
This would help reassure Sumolings that their investment won't go to waste, drive more sales for you, provide a greater user base and potentially give another small source of income.
If this is possible it would be an instant buy from me (and I assume many others). Hopefully you put this into consideration :)
A: Hi @Elmsy. That's an interesting idea, changing for a fee. The current deal is as outlined, but please let us know if you have any follow-up questions. Thanks for checking out InstaChamp.
Q: Since I have a B2C-business, all of my followers/customers have private Instagram accounts where I can't see what they share.
Two questions:
1. If my customers mention my Instagram business account in their private stories, would then InstaChamp be able to send them a thank you DM even though I can't see the stories?
2. Would the same happen if my customers share one of my posts in their own private stories?
A: Hi @YamaYoga, you bring up some great questions about the functionality.
1. If my customers mention my Instagram business account in their private stories, would then InstaChamp be able to send them a thank you DM even though I can't see the stories? > When someone mentions you in their stories you can see it and DM them, even if it is private.
2. Would the same happen if my customers share one of my posts in their own private stories? > I believe the same is true as above.
Thanks for your questions and checking out InstaChamp.
A: Hi @Sumo-ling, you can purchase one code per Instagram account you would like to activate superpowers on. If you'd like to gain more sends and contact limits, you can stack up to 3 codes per Instagram account. Thanks for checking out InstaChamp!
A: Hi @stanmay, that's a Facebook API requirement. A lot about the Facebook and Instagram connection is out of our hands as third-party developers. Thanks for checking out InstaChamp.
A: Hi @DigiProSEO, thanks for the opportunity to clarify! The deal is for one Instagram account. Once attached, you can't transfer it. Thanks for checking out InstaChamp
A: Hi @Zeke_Ducker, I'd buy a code for each account you want to launch InstaChamp on. The codes are not transferrable once attached to an Instagram account. Thanks for checking out InstaChamp!
So you're saying each account is tied to whatever Instagram account you connect it to for life..? That rules this deal out for anyone who provides client services or agencies.
If something were to happen and you part ways, their account will be locked into their profile. I'm sorry, but that is a really terrible policy. I hope whoever drew that up and thought it was a good idea is able to reconsider before this deal ends (Talking to you @Larry_Kim)
Otherwise, you give us no choice other than to take a hard pass on this.
Almost purchased this deal before reading the Q&A's and reading accounts that are connected are locked in with the account for life! Clearly you can't use this for an agency unfortunately.
Q: I'm a long-time mobile monkey customer & Was very excited to see InstaChamp.
Firstly congrats on achieving 1st mover status Instagram-approved, however at present this is a Pass for me with current limits. At minimum pls consider the ability to migrate the account after X months. At best at tier 3 pls consider 5 sub accounts. I am very willing to reduce messages per month in order to achieve 5 sub accounts.
Q: 📢 BREAKING NEWS: Your Account Is Eligible for Instagram DM Tools!
Instagram just announced that InstaChamp's Instagram DM automation is now rolling out to all Instagram business accounts.
Connect your Instagram business account to InstaChamp to launch superpowers that:
📈 Grow followers with instant engagement on posts, comments, stories, contests and more 🔗 Send Instagram traffic to your website without the swipe up feature 🦾 Automate DMs to save VAs, sales teams, and yourself hours a day
Launch InstaChamp on ANY Instagram business account with this steal of a lifetime deal today!
Instachamp from MobileMonkey is an official Instagram Messenger Solutions Provider Partner and which has been certified to work with Instagram Accounts of all sizes. Even 0 followers is OK.
A: Hi @Sumo-ling, you can apply the 3 AppSumo codes you receive in the triple stack to 1, 2 or 3 separate Instagram accounts. Thanks for grabbing our deal on InstaChamp!
Q: This is a HUGE dealbreaker for most buyers here on AppSumo:
"The codes are not transferrable.
You can apply a code(s) on each Instagram account you manage." This means that if you purchase a code, apply it to an account, then after some time want to change for whatever reason, you lost the code.
This does NOT make sense at all. Most Sumolings have either multiple accounts or run accounts for customers. There are a lot of scenarios in which we might have to change the account.
In addition, what if you stop using an Instagram account? What if an Instagram account gets banned (for reasons unrelated to InstaChamp)? What if you used it to help out one of your customers and they don't want it anymore or stop being a customer?
It simply does not make sense that you CANNOT add a simple feature that most social media tools add, such as "You can only add 1 account at a time."
What's the point of "not being transferrable"? It's not as if we can *cheat" InstaChamp out of extra codes since you need the account to be setup on InstaChamp to actually work? So switching between accounts to avoid buying more codes or licenses is a non starter since only ONE account can properly work per code at a single given time. I would get the argument more if you could cheat the system, but you simply cannot?
We would be loading up on InstaChamp codes, but after finding out that if we buy 1 code and use it for 1 account, we are stuck with that account forever, it doesn't make sense to buy any codes.
Please address these concerns and consider changing your deal terms. I know I'm not the only one feeling this way.
A: Hi @WellingtonDavid. Thank you for your feedback. I think that this impacts agencies the most since. I think in special circumstances like an account being shut-down by Facebook (we all know they can be a touch, shall we say, fickle) we would do our best to accommodate.
In my case i'm not an agency but i do have around 6-8 ig accounts. I would like to try first in a smaller IG and then change to apply to my main IG account. Think would be important that we can change accounts. Or even in the case i see one account needs more then other and want to switch.
Thanks for the feedback @misp. Maybe you can give the free InstaChamp VIP Creator & Influencer a try to test the features. The AppSumo code enables Platinum features including more sends and contact storage, and additional conversation customizations, but you can get a good sense of the superpower features for free on all your accounts today.
