Instagram DM automation for fitness coaches and online trainers

ViralDM sends the free plan the moment they comment, asks for their WhatsApp number or email first if you want the lead, books the consultation call from your free slots and takes the coaching fee by UPI in the same chat.

First month of Starter free, no card. After that the Free plan stays free forever.

What your followers ask

A transformation post or a 30-second workout brings “PLAN”, “diet chart?”, “fees?”, “online or offline?” and “can a beginner join?”. Each one is a possible client, and each one is waiting for a reply you do not have time to type between sessions.

Ready-made setups

4 setups for fitness coaches

Each one starts from a comment, a story reply or a DM. The plan shown is the lowest one the setup needs, checked against ViralDM’s feature list on 15 October 2026.

Comment keywordPLAN · DIETFree

Comment PLAN → the free plan, after their WhatsApp number

The lead gate asks for a WhatsApp number or email before the freebie goes out, and the PDF follows as soon as they reply. The Free plan collects 25 leads a month this way; from Starter there is no limit.

DM keywordCALL · CONSULTFree

CALL → a free consultation slot, picked in the chat

The DM lists your next free slots from your Booking settings as buttons. They tap one or reply with its number, the slot is held at once, and the confirmation comes back in the same chat.

Works on the Free plan. Built from:

Example · sample names and prices

CALL Free 15-min call ke slots 👇 1. Fri, 7:00 pm 2. Sat, 11:00 am 3. Mon, 6:30 pm Tap a time, or reply with its number. 2 Booked ✅ a call with Coach Neha, Sat, 11:00 am.

DM keywordJOINFree

JOIN → the coaching fee by UPI, then the group invite

Send a pay page for the programme fee. Once the payment is approved — by you with one tap on Free, after an AI check from Starter — the welcome message and your group link or invite go out on their own.

“What are your fees?” → a coaching agent that asks the goal first

Turn on the ready-made Coaching Sales agent. It asks what the person is struggling with before mentioning a price, handles “too expensive” without pushing, offers the discovery call, never guarantees results, and hands questions about injuries or medical conditions to you.

Needs Starter or above. Built from:

Example · sample names and prices

Bhai fees kitni hai? 15 kg kam karna hai Pehle ye batao — abhi daily kitna active ho, aur koi injury to nahi? Uske hisaab se sahi plan bataunga.

Instagram lets a business message people only after they comment, reply to a story or send a DM. Every setup here starts from one of those. Payments go to your own UPI ID; ViralDM takes no cut. Compare the plans →

Questions

Fitness coaches, answered

Something missing? Ask us

Can I send different plans to beginners and advanced people?

Yes. Start with quick-reply buttons such as Beginner, Intermediate or Fat loss, Muscle gain, and send a different PDF for each tap.

Will the AI give diet or medical advice?

AI replies answer from the documents you add to AI Brain, so keep them to what you would say yourself. The ready-made coaching agent hands questions about injuries or medical conditions to you instead of answering them.

Is it fine to collect a WhatsApp number this way?

The person types it themselves in reply to your question, and ViralDM keeps a DPDP consent record with the exact wording they saw. Use the number only for what you asked it for.

Can I ask people to follow me before they get the plan?

Yes. A follow-gate sends the freebie once they follow, with a reminder if they have not yet.

Can ViralDM message people who only follow me or like my posts?

No. Instagram lets a business message someone only after they comment, reply to a story or send a DM, and it does not tell any app about new follows or likes. ViralDM answers those three, through the official Instagram API.

What does ViralDM cost?

The Free plan stays free, with unlimited DMs, 1 automation and 3 keywords. Starter is ₹499 a month with 3 automations of 5 keywords each and 3,000 AI replies a month; Growth is ₹1,499 a month with no limit on automations or AI replies. Your first month of Starter is free, no card needed.
