How to Set Up DM Automation
for Your Business in 4 Steps
Stop manually replying to every DM. Learn how to set up automated responses that capture leads, qualify customers, and book calls — even while you sleep.
Your DMs are a goldmine.
Are you capturing them?
Every day, potential customers send DMs to businesses on Instagram and TikTok — asking about prices, services, and bookings. Most businesses reply manually, hours later, and lose the lead. DM Automation changes that.
What Is DM Automation?
DM Automation is the process of setting up automatic replies to messages or comments on your Instagram and TikTok. When someone sends a specific word or phrase, they instantly receive a pre-written response — without you lifting a finger. It works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, capturing leads even while you sleep.
From comment to booked call.

The 4-Step Setup Guide
Choose Your Keyword Trigger
Decide what word or phrase someone needs to say to trigger your automation. Make it simple, relevant and easy to remember. Use it in your post caption to tell people exactly what to comment.
Set Up the Automation Tool
You have two options to set up your comment-to-DM automation. Both are free to get started.
Write Your Automatic DM Message
Write the message that gets automatically sent when someone triggers your keyword. Keep it friendly, personal and clear. Always include a link to your offer, guide or booking page.
Create a Post That Drives Comments
Your automation is only as good as the post that triggers it. Create content that gives people a clear reason to comment your keyword. The more comments you get, the more DMs your automation sends — and the more leads you capture.
