Howdy

Howdy is a service for automating Instagram direct message outreach. It helps you collect lead lists from any post and send personalized DMs that look like normal conversations rather than a bulk blast. It’s designed for SMM specialists, sales managers, and agencies that work primarily in Instagram.

Interface and workflow

After you sign in, you get a simple dashboard for creating campaigns, setting up message templates, and managing lead lists. The UI is straightforward, so basic actions are easy to understand without training.

• Collect leads from Instagram posts
• Send personalized bulk messages via Instagram DMs
• Manage campaigns and contact lists
• View stats for sent and received messages
