Use case
Collaffy for Instagram creators
Put one link in your bio. Watch every brand request land in a structured inbox instead of your DMs.
Instagram is the default channel for brand outreach to creators. The DM inbox is where you'll get your first hundred 'we'd love to collab' messages — mixed in with audience replies, mod messages, group threads, and the occasional bot. The signal-to-noise ratio is the problem, not the volume.
Collaffy is the tool you put behind one line in your Instagram bio: 'For any collabs — Use Collaffy.' Real offers route themselves into a structured inbox. Friends, fans, and group chats stay where they are.
Where it breaks today
- Legit brand offers are buried under DMs from fans, friends, and bots.
- There's no way to search 'who quoted me $1,500 in February?' inside Instagram.
- Negotiation moves to email mid-thread, then to WhatsApp, then to a Notion doc the brand shared — and the original brief is lost.
- Scam offers (fake gifting, crypto pitches, 'send us your audience data') look identical to real ones until you read the fine print.
Where Collaffy fits in
Your Collaffy intake form lives at `collaffy.com/tap_to_collab_with/[your-handle]`. Drop it in your bio (or behind your link-in-bio tool of choice) with one line of context. Brands fill it in instead of DMing.
Every submission lands in your collab inbox with a structured brief — campaign, budget range, deliverables, dates, contact email, links, attachments — so triage is a glance, not a deep read.
Once you accept a request, the brand gets a private thread URL tied to the original brief. The thread becomes the canonical place for both sides to continue the conversation — so you stop context-switching between Instagram DMs, email, and shared Notion docs. (The brand can technically still try to reach you on Instagram; the win is having one channel that's clearly the system of record, with full history attached.)
Practical tips
Put it in your bio with social proof.
Don't just paste a URL — say what it's for. 'For any collabs — Use Collaffy' performs better than a bare link. The point is to signal that there's a process, not that there's a form.
Auto-reply to DM collab inquiries.
Set up an Instagram quick reply or auto-DM that points cold brand outreach to your Collaffy link. You don't need a tool to retrain brands — you just need one canned reply.
Sanity-check the contact email before replying.
Before you draft a reply, glance at the contact email on the request. A real corporate domain (`firstname@brand.com`) is the cheapest trust signal you have today. A planned brand-verification badge will surface this automatically in the inbox; until it ships, the manual check takes ten seconds.
