Post a reel.
They comment. They book. You get paid.

Take 1:1 bookings straight from Instagram. A comment on your reel triggers a DM with your booking link, the buyer picks a slot and pays in rupees, and you meet on Google Meet — or just call them. No Calendly + payment-gateway duct tape.

From comment to paid call — the whole flow

The reason booking from Instagram usually fails is friction: interested people have to leave the reel, find your bio, find the link, find the right session, and then figure out how to pay you. Creator Lane collapses that into one comment.

  1. 1

    They comment, we DM your booking link

    Post a reel and tell viewers to comment a keyword — "CALL", "SESSION", whatever fits. Creator Lane's comment-to-DM automation replies in DM with your booking link within seconds, on the official Instagram API. No 'link in bio, scroll, hunt' friction.

  2. 2

    They pick a slot that actually works

    Buyers see a month view of your real availability, in their own timezone, with 12/24-hour display. You control which days you take calls, and a minimum-notice window (2 hours by default) stops the 11:58pm booking for a midnight call.

  3. 3

    They pay up front — in rupees

    Payment happens at booking: UPI and cards, INR-native, or the buyer's local currency. No chasing payment after the call, no unpaid no-shows blocking your calendar. The money settles to your own payment account.

  4. 4

    You meet — video or phone, your pick

    Video sessions get a Google Meet link automatically. Prefer to just call? Phone-call bookings collect the buyer's number and you ring them at the slot time — no meeting link needed. Either way both of you get email confirmations.

Scheduler features that are live today

Everything below ships on the free plan — this isn't a roadmap list.

Availability you control

Set the days and hours you take calls per session type. A 30-minute audit and a 60-minute deep-dive can run different schedules and different prices.

Minimum notice

Require bookings at least N hours in advance (2 hours by default, configurable) so a new booking never ambushes you mid-day.

Month view, real timezones

Buyers browse a full month of open slots, not a 2-week cliff. The scheduler shows times in the buyer's own timezone — no "wait, is that IST?" back-and-forth.

Google Meet or phone call

Choose per session type: auto-generated Google Meet link for video, or a phone-call booking where the buyer's number is collected and you make the call.

Self-serve reschedule & cancel

Buyers get a manage link in their confirmation email to reschedule or cancel on their own. Fewer "can we move it?" DMs in your inbox.

Google Calendar sync

Connect Google Calendar and booked slots land on your calendar; times you're already busy don't get offered. No double bookings.

Why not just Calendly?

Calendly is a fine scheduler — for people who arrive by email. Instagram-first creators hit three gaps with it. First, delivery: Calendly can't answer a comment on your reel, so you're manually DMing links or hoping people dig through your bio. Second, payment: collecting money means wiring up Stripe or PayPal, both awkward for UPI-first Indian buyers. Third, the stack tax: scheduler + payment gateway + DM tool + link-in-bio is four subscriptions doing one job.

Creator Lane ships the whole path as one free account: the comment-to-DM automation that delivers your link, the booking page with your real availability, INR-native checkout at booking time, and the bio page where the same link lives permanently. One tool, and the money settles to your own account with no commission taken.

Free is genuinely enough if…

  • You sell a handful of session types — audits, consults, classes
  • You want comment-to-DM delivering your booking link automatically
  • You want payment collected at booking, in rupees, with 0% commission

That's about 95% of creators on Creator Lane — no credit card, no catch.

Consider paid when…

  • You're a business or team that needs higher limits
  • You run automations at the kind of volume we cap to keep the platform spam-free
  • You want business-tier controls and priority support

Paid exists to stop spam automation and serve business teams — not because normal creators run out of room.

Frequently asked

How do people book a call from Instagram?
Two ways. Passive: your booking link sits on your Creator Lane bio page, one tap from your profile. Active: run a comment-to-DM automation — anyone who comments your keyword on a reel gets the booking link in their DMs automatically, sent via the official Instagram API. The active path converts better because the link arrives while they're still interested.
Is this a Calendly alternative for Instagram creators?
For creators selling paid calls from Instagram, yes — and it's more direct. Calendly needs Stripe or PayPal stitched on for payment and a separate DM tool to deliver the link. Creator Lane bundles the scheduler, INR-native payment collection, and the comment-to-DM delivery in one free account.
Can I take payments in rupees?
Yes. Checkout is INR-native — UPI and cards — and buyers outside India pay in their local currency. You set the price per session type. Payments settle to your own payment account; Creator Lane takes no commission on your bookings.
What if I don't want video calls?
Use phone-call bookings. The buyer's phone number is collected as a required field at booking, and at the slot time you call them. No Google Meet link, no camera. Astrologers, tarot readers, and consultants who prefer voice use this mode.
What happens if a buyer needs to reschedule?
Their confirmation email includes a manage link where they can reschedule to another open slot or cancel — self-serve, without messaging you. Your calendar updates automatically.
How do I stop last-minute bookings?
Set a minimum-notice window on the scheduler. By default buyers must book at least 2 hours ahead; raise it to a day or more if you plan your sessions further out.
Does it sync with my Google Calendar?
Yes. Connect Google Calendar once and confirmed bookings are added as events. For video sessions the Meet link is generated on the calendar event both sides receive.
What does it cost?
The free plan covers bookings, your bio page, digital products, and comment-to-DM automations — genuinely enough for most creators. Pro is a flat ₹1,500/year for higher limits and priority support. There's no commission on your booking revenue on either plan.
