Comment → DM

Turn every “price?” and “link?” comment into a DM conversation

Pick a post or reel, add the keywords your audience comments, and write the reply. GramForGrow answers under the comment and slides into their DMs with a link button — while you sleep.

What you get

Why teams choose comment → dm in GramForGrow

  • Replies in under a second

    Comments arrive through Meta's webhooks and get answered instantly, so the person is still on your post when your DM lands.

  • Public reply variations

    Write several public replies and one is picked at random each time, so your comment section never looks like a bot wrote it.

  • DMs with link buttons

    Send the message with up to three buttons that open your shop, booking page or download — the highest-converting format Instagram allows.

  • Exact posts, next post or all

    Run it on chosen posts and reels, arm it for the next thing you publish, or let it watch everything you've ever posted.

  • Once per person

    People often comment the keyword three times. They get one DM, not three, and the repeats are logged as skipped.

  • Keywords and exclusions

    Match comments that contain a keyword, are exactly a keyword, or any comment at all — and ignore comments with words like “refund”.

  • Follow, email or phone to unlock

    Only send the link once they follow you, or after they share an email or phone number — valid answers are saved on the contact.

  • Know who clicked

    DM links are tracked per person: see clicks per automation and tag everyone who opened your link.

FAQ

Questions about comment → dm

Is this allowed by Instagram?

Yes. It uses Meta's official Instagram API and its “private replies” feature, which lets a business send one DM in response to a comment within 7 days of it.

Can I send more than one DM?

Instagram allows one private reply per comment. As soon as the person replies to your DM, the conversation is open and your flows, keyword replies and AI agent can continue it.

Does it work on reels and carousels?

Yes — feed posts, reels and carousels. Comments on Instagram Live can be captured too.

Will my own replies trigger the automation?

No. Comments made by your own account (including the automatic public replies) are recognised and ignored.
