Someone comments your keyword, like GUIDE or PRICE, and gets a DM with your link within seconds, one per person, through Meta's official messaging API. It's built into PostStage on Pro, so there's no second subscription.
Why "comment for the link" breaks down without automation.
Instagram doesn't make caption links clickable, so "link in bio" loses people on the way.
A post that takes off gets hundreds of comments asking for the link, and you can't DM them all yourself.
Comment automation usually means another subscription and another login next to your scheduler.
Purpose-built for the way you actually work.
Keywords match whole words in any case ("Guide please!" counts, "guidebook" doesn't), in Hindi and with emoji, or reply to every comment. {name} in the DM becomes the commenter's name.
One DM per person per post, one private reply per comment within 7 days, and about 200 DMs an hour per Instagram account; past that, DMs queue and go out shortly after.
Post a "Check your DMs" reply under the comment, rotating between up to 5 wordings so a busy post doesn't look like a bot.
The post's page shows who got the DM, who is waiting, and anyone who couldn't be messaged, with the plain reason.
Part of the Pro plan.
Optional, Instagram only: the first DM has a "Send me the link" button and followers get the link. Meta's spam rules are strict about making people engage to get content, so a warning sits beside the switch; use it with care.
In the Instagram, Facebook and Cross-Post composers, or on a post that's already live.
Meta's official messaging API, with no scraping and no browser bots.
It's also built for Facebook Page posts. Instagram is where it has been tested live so far, so start there.
Comment-to-DM is on Pro and Enterprise, with 30 social accounts, 200 posts a month on each and 10 team seats.
