Auto‑send Instagram DM when someone comments a keyword
Introduction
Turn Instagram comments into instant conversations. Automatically send a helpful DM when a comment includes your chosen keywords ✅
Trigger Event
When someone comments on your Instagram post or reel (you can choose any post/reel or a specific one), the automation starts.
Actions
- The comment text is checked against the keywords you set (e.g., “ai, automation, mcp”). If the keywords field is left empty, it will DM for every new comment.
- If a match is found, the workflow sends a private DM to the commenter with your preset message (e.g., a resource guide or offer).
- You can include a button in the DM (URL or postback) so people can quickly get a link or take the next step.
- Instagram’s rules are respected: the private reply is sent within the allowed window for comment replies.
Benefits
- Capture leads right from comments—no manual DMs
- Deliver links, guides, or coupons instantly
- Reduce response time and boost engagement
- Consistent follow‑up with fewer errors
- Works across any or specific posts for targeted campaigns
