Heyo
Heyo's new product is social messaging automation for creators on Instagram and TikTok. It turns comments on those platforms into direct message conversations. Its AI builder can translate a described automation idea into a flow that users can shape and launch. Ready-to-customize templates cover sending a link, running a giveaway, and sharing a reward; the product also describes instant wins and coupons as engagement options. The new free offering is marked “Coming soon,” and its final features, limits, and pricing are to be confirmed at launch. Heyo's pricing page also describes legacy contest-campaign plans, with drag-and-drop design, turnkey contest apps, and mobile support. Listed campaign formats include sweepstakes, photo and video contests, quizzes, hashtag campaigns, and refer-a-friend campaigns. Legacy tools include voting, moderation, winner selection, and analytics, while listed email integrations include Mailchimp, GetResponse, Infusionsoft, and Mad Mimi. The Basic legacy plan costs $25 a month when billed annually; it includes three campaigns, unlimited leads, 20,000 page views, up to 50,000 Facebook fans, and three Facebook brand pages. Heyo is identified as a Votigo, Inc. company.
