How to switch without double DMs

  1. Write down each live LinkDM automation: the post, keyword and message.
  2. Pause them in LinkDM first, so two tools never answer the same comment.
  3. Connect Instagram to FameChamp through Instagram's own login screen.
  4. Rebuild each automation with the same keyword. Most take about 2 minutes.
  5. Comment the keyword from a second account to test, then disconnect LinkDM.

Can I run LinkDM and FameChamp at the same time?
