Comment-to-DM automation is the start. Here's what powers every response.
Set a trigger keyword on any post. When a follower comments it, they get a personalized DM in under 3 seconds. Works on Reels, Carousels, and feed posts. Case-insensitive matching.
Reply to their comment publicly and send a private DM simultaneously. The public reply creates social proof. The private DM delivers your link. Two touchpoints, one automation.
Require a follow or email before delivering your link. Follow Gate grows your audience. Email Gate builds your list. Both happen inside the DM conversation.
Track DMs sent, link clicks, and leads collected. See which posts and keywords drive the most conversions.
Every interaction is saved with Instagram handle, email, source post, and engagement history. Export to Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Beehiiv, or any platform via CSV.
Four ways creators use auto-respond on Instagram comments every day.
Instagram comment auto-reply monitors your posts for specific trigger keywords using Meta's Graph API. When a follower comments a word like "LINK" or "INFO," CreatorFlow detects it via webhooks and sends a personalized DM within 2-3 seconds. You can set up to 20 keywords per automation, and matching is case-insensitive — "link", "LINK", and "Link please" all trigger the same response.
Yes. CreatorFlow uses Meta's official Instagram Graph API and has held Meta Tech Provider status since November 2025. No bots, browser extensions, or unofficial workarounds are involved. Your account remains in full compliance with Instagram's Terms of Service.
DMs are sent within 2-3 seconds of the comment being posted. CreatorFlow receives real-time webhook notifications from Instagram's API and delivers the DM before the commenter scrolls away. This speed matters because it reaches followers while their purchase intent is still active.
Yes. All Instagram post formats that accept comments are supported: Reels, Carousels, single-image posts, and video posts. One automation works across all formats without separate configuration per post type.
Yes. CreatorFlow posts a public comment reply (e.g., "Check your DMs!") and sends a private DM with your link simultaneously. The public reply creates social proof that attracts more commenters. The private DM delivers your content.
CreatorFlow queues and processes comments automatically at Instagram's maximum API rate of 200 DMs per hour. A post with 500 keyword comments would have all DMs sent within approximately 2.5 hours with zero manual effort. The dashboard shows real-time progress.
