Replyrr watches a selected post, any post, or your next post for a keyword, any eligible comment, emoji, or @mention. It can acknowledge the comment, open a private conversation, wait for the person to interact, then continue through messages, delays, a follower check, lead capture, and a tracked destination link.

The job
One clear comment starts one relevant private reply.
Send a clickable link instead of leaving a long URL in the comments.
Deliver a guide, checklist, menu, or price-list download link people requested.
Move high-intent commenters to a product page, calendar, or order form.
Capture a name, email, phone number, or custom answer inside the DM.
01 · Workflow
From comment trigger to a policy-aware DM flow.
Start with a clear promise, then make each step wait for the right signal. A comment can open the conversation, but follower checks and later messages wait until the person interacts with that private reply.

Connect a professional Instagram account
Use Instagram Login to connect a Business or Creator account. Replyrr does not ask for the Instagram password or a browser session.
Choose the post target and trigger
Watch a selected post or Reel, every eligible post, or arm the automation for the next post. Match a keyword, any comment, an emoji, or an @mention.
Build the private flow
Start with a clear opening message and interaction button. Then add messages, a delay, follower gate, lead-capture question, and the exact tracked link the commenter expects.
Plan, test, and measure
Save the sequence as a reusable template, activate it now or arm it for a future post in DM Planner, test from another eligible account, and inspect sends, replies, captured leads, and link clicks.
02 · Jobs to be done
The highest-intent comment workflows.
These are not engagement tricks. Each workflow starts after someone asks for a specific next step and removes the manual copy-and-paste work.
01
Lead magnet delivery
Offer a guide, checklist, template, recipe, or resource in a Reel. The flow can confirm the request, verify a follow after the person opts in, capture a lead detail, and send the private download link.
Caption: “Comment GUIDE and I’ll DM the checklist.”
02
Product and offer links
Send the product page, launch page, discount, waitlist, or checkout link tied to the post instead of asking people to search your bio.
Trigger: “LINK” · Reply: the named product and correct URL.
03
Booking and local enquiries
Turn comments such as book, menu, class, or quote into a private calendar, current menu, order form, or enquiry route.
Trigger: “BOOK” · Reply: service context plus the calendar.
03 · Official API boundary
Official access, with real platform limits.
Replyrr uses Meta’s official Instagram API rather than scraping or automating a hidden login. That removes risky access methods; it does not make any automation exempt from Meta’s permissions, messaging rules, rate limits, or enforcement.
The connected account must be an eligible Instagram Business or Creator account.
The commenter initiates the interaction; comment-to-DM is not cold outreach to arbitrary accounts.
Meta controls when a private reply is eligible and can reject, limit, or delay a request.
Relevant copy, accurate promises, and a clear opt-in action still matter after the API connection is approved.
The practical limits, requirements, and plan questions behind this workflow.
What is Instagram comment-to-DM automation?
It is a rule that listens for an eligible comment on a selected post or Reel, every eligible post, or the next post you publish, then sends that commenter a private reply through Instagram. Triggers can match a keyword, any comment, an emoji, or an @mention.
Can Replyrr send a DM after a Reel comment?
Yes. Replyrr can watch supported comments on Instagram posts and Reels and send the private reply you prepared. Solo includes keyword comment-to-DM; Studio and above add any-comment, emoji, @mention, any-post, and Next/Future Post automation.
Can the DM include a download or product link?
Yes. Use a tracked URL to send a download, booking page, product page, menu, form, or other promised next step. Replyrr records link performance by destination so you can see which flow moved the conversation forward.
Can Replyrr check whether a commenter follows my account?
Yes, on Studio and above. The flow first sends an opening private reply and waits for the person to interact. It can then check follow status and send either the promised next step or a follow request; an unknown status never passes the gate.
Can I capture leads inside the Instagram chat?
Yes, on Studio and above. Add a lead-capture step for a name, email address, phone number, or custom answer, then review captured leads in Replyrr alongside the flow that collected them.
Do I need a Facebook Page to use Replyrr?
No. Replyrr connects through the Instagram API with Instagram Login. You need an Instagram Professional account—a Business or Creator account—but Replyrr does not require it to be linked to a Facebook Page.
Which plan includes comment-to-DM automation?
Every paid Replyrr plan includes keyword comment-to-DM automation. Solo starts at $10 per month with one Instagram account and 1,000 outbound automation messages per 30-day window. The advanced triggers, multi-step builder, delays, follower gates, lead capture, templates, planner, and full-link analytics start with Studio at $20 per month.
Will official API automation guarantee that my account is never restricted?
No tool can make that guarantee. Replyrr avoids password sharing, scraping, and browser bots by using Meta’s official API. Account owners must still follow Meta’s terms, messaging policies, and the technical limits that apply to each interaction.
