Send a DM when someone comments on Instagram, without watching your inbox all day
Ask people to comment GUIDE, PRICE, INFO, or another keyword on your post or reel. CommentKeyword detects the comment, replies publicly, and sends the promised Instagram DM while the person is still engaged.
Why this matters for Instagram growth
When someone comments with interest, the next message should arrive while they are still paying attention. CommentKeyword helps you turn that public comment into a private DM conversation automatically.
Use comments as the trigger
Ask people to comment a keyword on a post or reel, then use that comment as the signal to start the DM workflow.
Reply publicly first
A public reply confirms the action and keeps the post active while the private DM lands.
Deliver the next step instantly
Send the guide, link, price details, coupon, or booking prompt without manual delay.
How to set it up
Keep the first version simple. One keyword, one clear promise, one DM, then add AI only when the conversation needs depth.
Create the keyword
Choose a trigger such as GUIDE, LINK, PRICE, DETAILS, or a phrase that maps to your offer.
Write the public reply and DM
Set a short public reply and the private DM that delivers the resource or next step.
Attach AI when qualification matters
If the first DM should lead to questions, lead qualification, or a team follow-up, attach an AI agent to continue once the user replies.

What should the comment keyword be?
Use a keyword tied to a clear promise, such as GUIDE, PRICE, LINK, PLAN, INFO, AUDIT, or TEMPLATE.
