Auto-DM Instagram story replies
When someone replies to your story or reacts with an emoji, they get a DM automatically. Great for “reply to my story for a freebie” campaigns.
Story reply trigger
When someone replies to your story (by typing or reacting with a heart, for example), they get a DM automatically. Perfect for “reply to my story for a freebie” campaigns.
Pick a story
Pick a specific story, or apply it to any story.
Set the trigger word or reaction
Like “interested” or “I want,” or just a heart or other emoji.
DM them back automatically
When someone replies to your story like this, they get a DM right away.
What it does
Post a story saying “Reply ‘interested’ for a freebie” and everyone who replies gets a DM automatically — easy engagement and new contacts.
Tip
- Stories only last 24 hours. After that, the rule stops triggering and shows as “Expired” in the list.
- This only works on Instagram.
Want to try it yourself?
You can set up auto-replies on the Free plan, then decide whether to upgrade after your first customer.
