How an Instagram DM link works

Instagram's own short link https://ig.me/m/<username> opens a message thread with that account. On a phone it opens the Instagram app straight into the chat; on a computer it opens Instagram on the web. The person needs to be logged in to Instagram to send the message.

  1. 1

    Type your username

    Enter your Instagram username, or paste your profile link. Business, Creator and personal accounts all work.

  2. 2

    Copy the link or QR

    Use the ig.me link anywhere you share links, and download the QR code for print.

  3. 3

    Answer the DMs

    Reply by hand, or let WALoops answer comments, story replies and DMs automatically.

Where to use your Instagram DM link

shopping_cart

Your website

A "Message us on Instagram" button on product and contact pages, for shoppers who prefer DMs to email.

campaign

Ads, emails and WhatsApp

Send people straight into a DM from a newsletter, a WhatsApp broadcast or a link in another app.

storefront

Packaging and the shop counter

A printed QR code turns walk-in customers and parcels into Instagram conversations and followers.

link

Link in bio pages

Add a "DM us" button to your link-in-bio page so questions land in your inbox, not in the comments.

Let the DMs answer themselves

A link starts the conversation; WALoops Instagram Auto-DM handles what comes next. Someone comments "LINK" on a reel and gets the link in their DMs, a story reply gets an instant thank-you, and you can ask people to follow you or share their email first. It runs on the official Instagram API. See all Instagram automation features.

Frequently asked questions

What is an Instagram DM link? expand_more
A short link in the form ig.me/m/<username> that opens a direct message thread with that Instagram account. On a phone it opens the Instagram app; on a computer it opens Instagram on the web.
Is this Instagram DM link generator free? expand_more
Yes. It's free with no sign-up and no limit. The ig.me link is an Instagram feature, so it doesn't expire as long as your username stays the same.
Can I add a pre-filled message to an Instagram DM link? expand_more
No. Unlike WhatsApp's wa.me links, Instagram's ig.me links don't support a pre-typed message. The person types their own first message.
What happens if I change my Instagram username? expand_more
The old ig.me link stops working, because it points to the username. Create a new link and QR code after a username change.
Does the person need an Instagram account? expand_more
Yes. Only someone logged in to Instagram can send you a DM. Others are asked to log in or sign up first.
How do I reply to DMs automatically? expand_more
