Every "PRICING" DM Gets an Instant Answer

Set the keyword once, write the answer once. CreatorFlow replies in under 3 seconds — every time. PRICING, HOURS, SHIPPING, returns. Your inbox stays empty.

You're Answering the Same Questions 50 Times a Day

Your DMs are full of repeat questions. You know the answers by heart. But every one still takes time to type.

80%

Of DMs Are the Same 5 Questions

"How much?" "Do you ship to X?" "What are your hours?" "What sizes?" "How do I book?" You've answered each one hundreds of times. Copy-paste works until you're doing it 50 times a day between creating content.

4 hours

Average Creator Response Time

Someone asks about pricing at 11 PM. You see it at 8 AM. By then they've found a competitor who answered faster. The sale you earned with your content goes to someone else because your inbox couldn't keep up.

Every delay

Costs You a Potential Customer

A DM asking "how much?" is purchase intent. A DM asking "do you ship here?" means they want to buy. Every hour you take to reply, that intent fades. The ones who never hear back? They never come back.

How Keyword DM Reply Turns Your DMs Into a 24/7 FAQ System

Set a keyword. Write the answer. Every time someone DMs that word, CreatorFlow sends your response instantly — no external chatbot needed.

Instant Answers via Keywords

Create keywords like PRICING, HOURS, MENU, SIZES, or SHIPPING. When someone DMs any of them, CreatorFlow sends your pre-written answer in under 3 seconds. Case-insensitive — "pricing", "PRICING", and "Pricing?" all trigger the same reply.

Multiple Keywords = Multiple FAQ Answers

Set up as many keywords as you need. Each one triggers a different response. PRICING sends your rates. HOURS sends your schedule. MENU sends your offerings. One setup covers every common question your audience asks.

Message Variations Keep It Fresh

Write 2-5 versions of each answer. CreatorFlow rotates them automatically so repeat visitors get slightly different responses. Keeps your DMs feeling personal, not robotic.

Contact CRM Captures Every Inquiry

Every person who DMs a keyword is saved to your contact CRM — with their Instagram handle, the keyword they used, and the timestamp. Know exactly who's asking about what, and follow up when it matters.

FAQ Auto-Reply — Frequently Asked Questions

How does keyword DM auto-reply work for FAQs?+

You create keywords that match the questions your audience asks most — like PRICING, HOURS, SHIPPING, or MENU. When someone sends a DM containing that keyword, CreatorFlow detects it via Meta's official Graph API and sends your pre-written answer within seconds. Each keyword triggers a different response, so you can cover your entire FAQ library with one setup.

How many keywords can I set up?+

There's no limit on the number of keywords. You can create as many as you need — PRICING, HOURS, MENU, SIZES, SHIPPING, BOOK, LOCATION, and any other keyword that matches a common question. Each one gets its own auto-reply with optional message variations.

Is it safe to auto-reply to Instagram DMs?+

Yes. CreatorFlow uses Meta's official Instagram Graph API — the same infrastructure used by all Instagram-verified automation tools. No bots, no browser extensions, no workarounds. Your account stays in full compliance with Instagram's Terms of Service. Learn more about DM automation safety.

How fast does the auto-reply get sent?+

Within 2-3 seconds. CreatorFlow receives real-time webhook notifications from Instagram's API the moment a DM arrives. The reply is composed and sent before the person has time to close the app. This speed is critical because it reaches people while their purchase intent is still active.

Does keyword matching work if they don't type the exact word?+

Keyword matching is case-insensitive — "pricing", "PRICING", and "Pricing?" all trigger the same response. The system looks for your keyword within the message, so "What's your pricing?" or "Can you send pricing" will both match the PRICING keyword.

Can I add message variations to keep replies fresh?+

Yes. You can write 2-5 versions of each FAQ answer. CreatorFlow rotates them automatically so returning visitors get slightly different wording each time. This keeps your DMs feeling personal and helps you discover which phrasing converts best.

Does this work as a chatbot with conversation flows?+

No — and that's by design. CreatorFlow uses keyword-triggered auto-replies, not a multi-step chatbot. Each keyword sends one clear answer. This keeps things simple, reliable, and fast. For complex questions that need a human, your auto-reply can include a note like "For custom inquiries, I'll reply personally within 24 hours."

Can I collect emails before sending the FAQ answer?+

Yes — this is called Email Gate. When enabled, CreatorFlow asks for the person's email address inside the DM conversation before delivering your answer. The email is saved to your contact CRM and can be exported to Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Beehiiv, or any email platform via CSV.

What happens if someone DMs a keyword that isn't set up?+

Nothing — CreatorFlow only responds to keywords you've configured. Unrecognized messages stay in your inbox for you to handle manually. This means you're always in control of what gets automated and what doesn't.

Can I use this alongside comment-to-DM automation?+

Yes. Keyword DM Reply and Comment-to-DM are separate features that work together. Comment-to-DM handles public post comments. Keyword DM Reply handles direct messages. Many creators use both — comment automation drives people to their DMs, and keyword replies answer their questions once they arrive. Learn more about comment-to-DM automation.

How is CreatorFlow different from ManyChat for FAQ automation?+

CreatorFlow is built for Instagram creators who want simple keyword-triggered replies, not complex chatbot flows. Where ManyChat requires building multi-step automation trees, CreatorFlow lets you set a keyword and write an answer — done in 2 minutes. Pricing starts at $0 with 500 free DMs/month.
