Step 1 · 10 sec
Sign in & open Influencer Dashboard 📲
Log in with email or Google, then go to Profile → Influencer Dashboard. If you haven't applied yet, you'll see a 30-second "Become a Creator" form first — approval is instant.
In dashboard: Overview tab with a pink "Start earning in 60 seconds" activation banner.

Click "Connect Your Instagram Business Account" 📸
Tap the big pink CTA on the banner (or switch to the Instagram tab). Pigma first shows a permissions card listing every scope we'll ask for — review and continue.
In dashboard: A clean permissions modal listing Basic Profile, Comments, Messages, and Human Agent.

Approve on the Instagram consent screen ✅
Meta opens its own login + permissions screen. Sign in with the Instagram account that matches your Pigma profile and tap "Allow". Pigma never sees your password.
In dashboard: After redirect → you land on the Overview tab with an emerald "Instagram Connected" pill.

Toggle Auto-DM ON ⚡
Now an emerald "Now switch on Auto-DM" banner appears. Click it — this prepares Pigma to send DMs the moment any follower comments "price", "link", "kitna" etc on your posts.
In dashboard: Banner copy changes to "Auto-DM is ON · One last step". Auto-DM pill appears.

Grant Facebook Page permissions 🔗
Your Instagram Business account is linked to a Facebook Page — Meta requires a Page-scoped token to actually send DMs. Click "Grant FB Page Access", then "Continue as <Your Page>" on Meta's screen and tick all checkboxes.
In dashboard: Brief Facebook redirect → back to Pigma with a confetti celebration animation 🎉.

Register your first post 🎯
A gold ribbon now says "Fully Connected · Time to earn". Tap "Register New Post" → the Instagram tab opens. Paste the post URL, search and pick the product Pigma should DM (with image preview!), and click Save. Pigma now watches this post 24/7.

Share the post — drop your link in bio / story 📤
Now post that Reel / photo to Instagram (or use one you've already posted). Add your Pigma referral link to your bio + story sticker. Tell followers: "Comment 'price' for the link!" — every comment from now on triggers an auto-DM from Pigma.
In dashboard: Real-time comment ticker on the Instagram tab — each comment shows status: DM sent ✓

Watch comments turn into ₹ 💰
Every "price?", "link", "kitna hai" comment now triggers a private DM from your IG with the buy-link. When that follower buys, Pigma credits the commission to your wallet — visible on the Earnings tab. Withdraw anytime to UPI / bank.
In dashboard: Earnings tab with live ticker, daily ₹ chart, withdrawable balance, and per-post conversion rate.
