Everything you need to run Instagram outreach with Instacide — hosted on our fleet, driven from the Dasherly dashboard. Follow the Starter & Studio walkthrough below. Prefer to run it yourself on your own machine? The Toolkit walkthrough is at the bottom.
Almost nothing — that’s the whole point of the hosted plans. Have these ready and you’re minutes from your first campaign.
Starter or Studio. Sign in at app.dasherly.com — nothing to download, install or leave running.
Buy warmed Instagram accounts from us — aged 30 days, bulletproof, proxy included — or bring your own. We host and run them for you.
Who you want to reach (we’ll scrape them for you) and a sentence on what you’re pitching.
Nothing to install — no extension, no anti-detect browser, no machine left running. Your accounts live on our cloud fleet 24/7 and you run everything from one dashboard at app.dasherly.com. The full flow below is the same on Starter and Studio; a ✨ Studio tag marks the bits Studio adds (AI personalization, Telegram, the unified inbox, more accounts & free warmed accounts each month).
Log in at app.dasherly.com — no download. The slim rail on the left switches between your Dashboard and each channel (Instagram, X, Telegram, TikTok). Click Instagram to open the Instacide control center.
Every account runs on our fleet — each with its own dedicated residential proxy, warming and sending around the clock. You don’t touch a browser. New accounts show Warming; once ready they flip to Active with a live daily send rate.
Up to 150 accounts on Studio, all on this one screen.
Buy warmed accounts from us and they drop straight in — aged, carefully warmed up for 30 days, bulletproof, FREE proxy included, ready to go. No sourcing, no warming, no proxies to manage. Add accounts →
Head to Leads. Point the built-in scraper at any relevant account — a competitor, a big creator in your niche — and it harvests their followers or following straight onto the fleet, with no browser of yours involved. Or import your own list from a CSV.
Everything lands in tidy lists you can name, search and tidy up — duplicates are skipped automatically, so a list is only ever real, unique people. Pick a list and it’s ready to drop into a campaign.
Hit + New campaign. Pick a target list (scraped or uploaded), pick which accounts send it, and write your opener. Here you get the full CRM treatment — true spintax and merge tags, so one template auto-spins a unique, personalized message for every lead.
Set it live and the fleet starts sending on human timers across your chosen accounts. Run several campaigns side by side.
This is the upgrade from Toolkit: instead of pasting a few whole messages, you write one smart template and the CRM personalizes every send.
On Studio, switch on AI personalization for Instagram & X. Tell it about your offer, choose a message style, and every opener it sends is written for that one person — not a spun template, but a genuine first line they’d swear you typed by hand.
If a lead isn’t a fit for it, it quietly falls back to your spintax opener, so nobody ever gets a forced or generic message. Preview a batch before you go live, and A/B a couple of styles to see what lands.
This is what sets Studio apart: spintax rotates your own templates; AI personalization writes a brand-new opener for every single lead — the difference between “sent to 500 people” and “sent to you.”
Each campaign shows live progress — Sent, Replied, Reply rate and Booked — with the latest replies streaming in underneath. Across the channel you get reply-rate analytics for every account, so you can see what’s landing and double down.
yeah a demo sounds good, when works?

booked 🙌 see you thursday
This is the big one. Every reply, from every account and every channel, lands in the Unified Inbox — one ordered thread per person. Search them, open a conversation, and reply with text or images right there. Start fresh outreach with New conversation, and tag & track so nothing slips.
Add your VAs as team seats to work the inbox alongside you — no shared logins. This is the part Toolkit doesn’t have; on Toolkit you’d be hopping between Instagram logins instead.
can we hop on a call?
what’s the pricing?
omg this works?? 😅

Starter & Studio take the seven-tab popup and the browser-juggling off your plate: hosted accounts, one dashboard, AI-personalized openers, a unified inbox and your whole team — all running 24/7.
A flagged account quietly stops working no matter how good your campaign is; a clean one runs for weeks. Instacide paces itself and uses human-like input — your job is the four things below. (On Studio & Cloud, we handle these for you.)
Aged, active accounts only — or buy ours, warmed 30 days with proxy included.
Run every account in its own anti-detect profile on its own residential proxy.
Set Settings → Proxy alignment (timezone/language/region) to your proxy. Mismatches flag fast.
Start around 5 follows/hour, keep DMs modest, and ramp gradually.

The fully managed option — you don’t touch the bot at all. Our team runs your Instagram outreach end to end; you just take the calls that get booked.
Rather run Instacide on your own machine? Here’s the actual bot in demo mode — every tab, toggle and button is the real thing. Have a click around, then follow the Toolkit walkthrough just below. (Nothing here touches a live account.)
The whole bot lives in this little window — seven tabs, each doing one job. Try the flow you just read through.
On Toolkit you run Instacide yourself, in your own browser. Get these ready first. (On Starter, Studio & Cloud we host it all for you — see the walkthrough above.)
The Chrome extension you load once per account. It’s the engine that runs inside Instagram.
To run more than one account safely, each needs its own isolated browser profile. Which one & why →
An aged account on its own residential proxy. Or grab one from us → — warmed 30 days, bulletproof, proxy included.
A username & password from your Dasherly account that links the extension to your plan.
Seven steps, all inside the extension popup. Do them in order and you’ll be live in about 15 minutes. Every screen below matches the real bot.
When you first open Instacide you get a login screen. Enter the Bot Username and Bot Password from your Dasherly account, plus the IG Username this browser will control (it’s required), and hit Log in.
That links the extension to your plan and tells it which account it’s driving. A green Connected badge appears in the header.
Open the Ops tab. Under Auto-Login, paste your account’s cookies and click Login — that signs the account into this browser cleanly. (There’s also a DM Login with username/password if you prefer; turn 2FA off first.)
Running more than one account? Each one needs its own isolated profile in an anti-detect browser, each on its own residential proxy — otherwise Instagram sees them as one person.
Skip the hassle — buy warmed accounts from us: aged (over 1 year), freshly warmed up (30-day warm-up SOP), bulletproof (low ban-rate) and supplied with a FREE residential proxy, ready to paste straight in. Get accounts →
Still in Ops, scroll to Scrape Leads. Choose Followers or Following, type a Target username (a competitor or relevant account), set Max leads and a Delay, then Start Scrape.
It pulls that account’s audience into a preview table, and you download the list as XLSX, CSV or JSON. On Toolkit you then upload that file to a list in your Dasherly account yourself — leads don’t auto-flow from the bot — ready to sync back down in step 6.
The Assets tab holds four lists:
On Studio & Cloud: the CRM adds true spintax and merge tags, so a single template auto-spins a unique, personalized opener for every lead.
The Settings tab is where you tune behaviour. The ones that matter most:
There’s also a Schedule (EST) for feed & story posting, and a Control Center box to (re)connect for target sync.
The Targets tab is your lead queue — these are the people the bot will follow and DM. Pick a list from the dropdown and hit SYNC to pull it into the bot.
On Toolkit you upload your lists manually in your Dasherly account (the leads you scraped and downloaded, or your own CSV) — they don’t auto-sync up from the bot. Once a list is there, SYNC brings it down. Each row then shows a status — new, pending, then followed as the bot works through them.
Back on Launch, press Start. The runtime clock begins, the status dot goes green, and a Next tasks queue shows what’s coming up. Instacide follows and DMs on human timers, with real cursor movement and natural pauses.
Open Logs to watch every action live, with running counters for Follows, DMs, Posts and Actions. Leave the browser open in one session — don’t keep closing/reopening it.
Replies on Toolkit arrive in the Instagram app itself — open it and reply (or hand it to a VA). One inbox for everything is a Studio feature (below).
Re-enter your Bot Username, Bot Password and IG Username exactly, and check your subscription is active. Then reload the extension and log in again. You can also re-connect from Settings → Control Center.
That’s a flag — almost always a cold account, a non-residential IP, or a Proxy-alignment timezone/region that doesn’t match the proxy. Use a warmed account on a matched residential proxy (in its own anti-detect profile), lower Follows per hour, and give it time.
Up to 10. Each needs its own anti-detect browser profile + warmed account + residential proxy. Want them hosted 24/7 with no browser to keep open? That’s Studio.
On Toolkit, you manage replies manually in each Instagram profile. On Studio and Cloud, all replies across all accounts are pulled into one single unified inbox to make life easier, along with reply-rate tracking and analytics across all account groups or campaigns.
Yes — warmed for 30 days, bulletproof, and supplied with a matched residential proxy so they’re ready to drop straight in. Grab some here →
