Send an Instagram DM link when someone comments “DM” and alert your team in Slack
Introduction
Turn Instagram comments into an instant self-serve funnel: when someone comments “DM”, this workflow sends them your link via Instagram DM and replies to their comment. Any other comment gets forwarded to Slack so your team can jump in quickly.
Benefits
- Automatically delivers your link to interested commenters via DM (no manual follow-up)
- Keeps engagement high by replying to the original comment right away
- Routes non-“DM” comments to Slack for fast team visibility and responses
- Reduces missed leads and saves time managing comment requests
Trigger Event
When a new comment is posted on your Instagram media (Instagram for Business).
Actions
- The automation checks the incoming comment text.
- If the comment text is exactly “DM”:
- Sends an Instagram DM to the commenter with your chosen link.
- Replies to the comment publicly (e.g., “Check your DM”) to confirm it’s been sent.
- If the comment is anything else:
- Sends the comment text to a selected Slack channel so your team can review and respond.
