Auto‑Reply to Instagram Comments + Auto DM on Keyword
Introduction
Turn comment buzz into conversations. This workflow replies to new Instagram comments instantly and DMs prospects when they use trigger keywords. ✅
Trigger Event
When a new comment is posted on your Instagram Business media (any post/reel, or a specific one you choose), the automation starts.
Actions
- First, the workflow checks the commenter’s message.
- If the comment is “ai”:
- It posts a short, friendly public reply (randomized so you don’t look like a bot).
- It sends a private DM with a helpful message and a button to visit your site.
- If the comment is “guide”:
- It posts a friendly public reply (randomized).
- It sends a private DM with a clear call-to-action button to access the guide.
- If the comment includes any of these keywords: “automation”, “mcp”, or “viasocket”:
- It posts a short, friendly public reply (randomized) to acknowledge and nudge to check DMs if applicable.
- Replies rotate from a preset list (e.g., “Check your DM!”) to keep responses natural and reduce spammy patterns.
Note: Private replies follow Instagram’s 7‑day messaging window for comments.

- Higher conversions: Auto DM warm leads based on intent keywords.
- Consistent tone: Randomized replies keep your brand human.
