Want to reply automatically when someone comments on your post or reel? AutoDM makes it effortless. Here's how to set it up:
Step 1: Start a New Automation
Open the AutoDM app.
Click the Create Automation button (top-right corner).
Select Comments on your Post or Reel from the automation types.
Step 2: Choose the Post to Monitor
You'll now see three options for selecting which post to trigger the automation on:
Any Post – Triggers on all future and existing posts.
Specific Post – Select a particular post or reel from your feed.
Next Post – Triggers on the next post you publish.
Choose one and click Next.
Step 3: Define Comment Trigger Conditions
Now choose how you want to trigger the automation:
Any Comment – The automation triggers for all comments.
With Specific Keyword – Triggers only when a comment includes specific words.
If choosing Specific Keyword:
Add one or more included keywords (type and press Enter or click Add).
Optionally, add excluded keywords to prevent the automation from triggering when those words appear.
Click Next when you're done.
Step 4: Compose the Automated DM
Now craft the message you want to send in response:
Add your message text in the Message field.
Want to link to a product or external site?
Click Add a Button:Paste a custom URL, or
Use the dropdown to select an existing product or store link from your SuperProfile.
Click Next to continue.
⚡️ PRO TIP -
You’ll see two powerful features you can enable on this step:
Follow Check
If enabled, users will be prompted to follow you first. The main DM is sent only after they follow, great for follower growth.
Collect Email
This asks users for their email before sending your main message. A smart way to grow your email list for newsletters or promotions.
Step 5: Review & Launch
You’ll now see a preview screen summarising all your settings.
If something looks off, click Back to edit.
If everything checks out, click Confirm & Launch.
Your automation is now live.
📈 Track Performance
Once active, monitor your automation from the dashboard. You’ll see key metrics like:
New Followers Gained (Only if follow check is enabled)
Total Automation Runs
