SendMeLink matches LinkDM's 15-second setup speed while unlocking conversational AI Agents, automated Voice Note DMs, in-DM email/phone lead capture, and native Shopify product cards.
Creators, coaches, affiliates, and Shopify brands wanting fast comment-to-DM links PLUS AI conversations, voice notes, lead capture forms, and broadcast tagging at a lower monthly price
