// Signal Scout

Outbound on Instagram, without the risk.

Every "cold DM" tool works by driving your Instagram account with a bot — and Meta bans accounts for exactly that. Signal Scout does the finding and the writing, then opens the DM with the opener on your clipboard — a human pastes it and presses Send. The moment they reply, the conversation lands back in LeadSignal and the A.I automation takes over: Flo scores the lead, answers in your voice, qualifies them and books the call — the same way it works every inbound lead. Your team sends one message; Flo does the rest.

Uses Meta's official connection for everything it reads and replies to. No password, no session cookie, no automation of your account. Ever.

01 — How it works

Flo finds them. You send. Flo takes it from there.

Four steps, and only one of them needs a thumb.

Step 1

Describe who you want

The niche in one line, the words that would be in their bio, where they are, the accounts they follow, the hashtags they post under. Or paste a list of handles you already have — that part is free.

Step 2

Flo finds and screens them

Hashtag posters, the people commenting on a competitor's posts, a search of public bios. Each account is read — bio, followers, recent posts — and judged against what you asked for. Only the ones that fit reach the list, with one line saying why.

Step 3

One tap opens the DM

Flo writes the opener in your voice, for that person. Tap the row: Instagram opens on their conversation with the message on your clipboard. Paste, tweak if you like, send. On your phone or your desktop.

Step 4

They reply — and it becomes a lead

Their answer arrives through Meta's official connection, like every other DM. They become a scored lead in Signal Priority with your opener already on the timeline, and Flo qualifies, answers, chases and books exactly as she does for inbound.

02 — Why it is built this way

The tools that "automate" cold DMs are gambling with your account.

Meta does not allow a first message from a bot — so nobody safe does it

Instagram's official API can only reply to people who messaged you. Every tool that promises automated cold DMs is logging into your account with a browser bot, and Meta is very good at spotting those: action blocks in days, permanent bans at any real volume. Signal Scout never touches your account. A human sends every first message from their own phone, at human pace, with a daily cap you set — and everything after the reply runs through the same official connection as the rest of LeadSignal.

Not to be confused with A.I Outreach

A.I Outreach is cold email and LinkedIn, written and sent for you by Otto. Signal Scout is Instagram and Facebook, where the first message has to be yours. Many teams run both: email for the people whose address you can find, a DM for the ones who live on Instagram.

03 — What the setter sees

A queue of people worth messaging, and the words to say.

Prospects sit on their own tab next to your inbound queue on Signal Priority: to message, sent, nudge due, replied. Every row carries who they are, why Flo picked them and the opener — one button to send, one to skip, a nudge when they have gone quiet for three days, and a second at seven.

Facebook Pages work the same way through Messenger. And because every reply comes back as a lead, you see sent → replied → booked per source, so you know which hashtag or competitor actually produces customers.
