Auto-send an Instagram DM link when someone comments 'DM'
Introduction
Turn Instagram comments into instant replies. When someone types “DM,” they get your link in their inbox—everyone else triggers a Slack alert so your team can follow up fast. ✅
Trigger Event
When a new comment is posted on any Instagram Business post or reel.
Actions
-
If the comment text is exactly “DM”:
- Send a direct message on Instagram to that commenter with your link (e.g., product page, signup, or offer).
- Post a quick public reply under their comment like “Check your DM,” so they know where to look.
-
Otherwise (any comment that isn’t “DM”):
- Notify your selected Slack channel with the comment text, who commented, and which post it’s on—so your team can review and respond.
Benefits
- Save time by automating DMs for common requests
- Faster responses increase conversions and customer satisfaction
- Keep the thread tidy with a short public reply
- Centralize non-DM comments in Slack for team follow-up
- Reduce copy-paste work and missed comments
