If you're using the same account for this consistently, consider using a secondary account for outreach. Another way: try a different opening. Something that invites a reply. Like a question about their bio or recent post.

Even with 400 followers, Instagram can still filter messages if it thinks they look like spam. Try reducing the number of DMs you send each day.

Thats true I had the same experience myself. But I just messaged one individual so perhaps that person flagged you or maybe it was just the computerized system. Its difficult to tell.

This is often a speed issue; tools that send direct messages too quickly after receiving comments will be flagged over time.

I think it usually comes down to message structure and velocity. If you're dropping links on the first DM, copy pasting the same text, or sending DMs too quickly to people who don't follow you back IG's filters flag it immediately focus on getting a reply first before dropping any links or promo copy
