Instagram and WhatsApp replies, sent automatically
Manychat is the tool behind every post that says comment LINK and I will send it to you. It watches for a keyword in comments or DMs and answers with a message, a link or a sequence, which turns a post that got reach into an email list. Instagram is where most creators use it. Messenger, WhatsApp and TikTok are also connected.
Our note
Worth knowing before you build a funnel on it: the contact meter counts anybody who interacted in the month, so one post that does numbers can move you two tiers. Check the per-contact overage rate, not just the headline price.

Where most creators end up planning everything
Notion is a content calendar, a sponsor tracker and a script archive, depending on how you build it. Selling templates on it has become a business in itself. The blank page at the start is the hard part.
Our note
The right answer only if you enjoy building the system. If you resent it a week in, that is the tool telling you something, and a purpose-built calendar will serve you better than a Notion setup you never finish.
