An Instagram auto DM is a direct message sent automatically when someone interacts with you — usually by commenting a keyword like LINK or PRICE on a reel. A Meta-approved tool such as likecmtshare watches for the keyword and sends your link, file or offer within seconds. It works only for people who contacted you first, which is what keeps it inside Instagram's rules. Setup takes about 60 seconds and there is a free plan with 1,000 DMs.
What an auto DM is
An auto DM (short for automatic direct message) is a reply your Instagram account sends on its own. You decide what starts it and what it says; the tool does the sending, day or night, usually in under a second.
It is not mass messaging. Instagram's official API only allows a message to someone who interacted with you first — by commenting, replying to a story, or sending you a DM. Tools that promise cold DMs to strangers are breaking the rules and risk your account.
What can trigger an auto DM
- A comment keyword: someone comments LINK, PRICE, GUIDE or any word you choose
- Any comment on a post or reel: reply to everyone, not just one keyword
- A story reply or reaction: DM people who react to your story
- A new DM: answer common questions instantly
- A new follower: welcome them and send your best link
What you can send
- A text message with up to two link buttons
- An image or a PDF, followed by the details
- A carousel of up to 10 images, each with its own button
- A question that collects a phone number or email first
- A follow gate: they must follow you before the link is sent
How to set up an Instagram auto DM

Open price listIs auto DM safe and allowed?
Yes, with the right kind of tool. Instagram allows automated replies through its official Graph API, which is what Meta-approved apps use. Your account is at risk only with unofficial bots that ask for your Instagram password and log in as you.
- Use a Meta-approved tool and log in through Instagram itself
- Only reply to people who interacted with you first
- Vary the wording instead of sending identical text thousands of times
- Let the tool slow down automatically when a reel goes viral
