Does ChatinFlow check that entrants follow my account?

No. Follows and story shares are not checked. The draw uses the entries that match your post and your keyword.

Can someone enter more than once?

Each person has one valid entry. Extra comments from the same person are marked as duplicates and left out of the draw.

Is the draw really random?

Yes. Winners are picked at random from the valid entries, and each draw is written to your audit log with who ran it and when.

Can I disqualify an entry?

Yes. You can disqualify an entry by hand before the draw, and it is left out of the pool.

What if a winner does not claim the prize?

Each winner has a claim deadline. When it passes without a claim, the prize is marked as forfeited.

Which channels can people enter from?

Instagram comments and DMs, and Messenger DMs.

Run the giveaway, skip the spreadsheet and the screenshots.

People comment WIN on your post or send it in a DM. Each person is counted once, duplicates are flagged, winners are drawn at random with a record of the draw, and each winner gets a deadline to claim the prize.

In short

How do you run an Instagram giveaway with ChatinFlow?

Create a giveaway, choose the post and the keyword, and set when it ends. Comments and DMs that match become entries, one per person, with duplicates flagged and a way to disqualify an entry by hand. When it ends, the draw picks winners at random and writes the draw to your audit log. Winners you already have a conversation with get a DM, and every winner gets a claim deadline. Follows and story shares are not checked.
