Frequently Asked Questions
What are DM inbox tools?
DM inbox tools are apps that organize your Instagram messages on desktop, add labels, quick replies, and filters. They make manual DM management faster but do not automate sales conversations.
Can DM inbox tools help me sell more?
Not directly. They reduce friction for manual messaging but you still write every reply yourself. SellByChat automates the entire sales conversation with AI so you can focus on coaching.
Should I use an inbox tool alongside SellByChat?
You can, but most clients find they don't need one. SellByChat handles conversations automatically. The real-time dashboard gives you visibility into every conversation without needing a separate inbox tool.
