Someone comments a word, they get your link

Set up a DM that goes out by itself when people comment.

Someone comments a word, like GUIDE. They get a DM with your link right away.

  1. 1Connect your Instagram first.
  2. 2Open Auto Messenger and tap New automation.
  3. 3Type the word or words people will comment.
  4. 4Write the DM. Add a button. It can open a product, so they can pay, or any link.
  5. 5If you want, add a public reply under the comment.
  6. 6Turn it on.

The word must be a whole word. GUIDE starts it. GUIDEBOOK does not.

New people can get one message. People who come back can get another.

Only for people who follow you: turn on "Only for people who follow me". They tap "I'm following" and Octora checks with Instagram. If Instagram doesn't answer, they still get the link.

Instagram's 24-hour rule: you can message someone only up to 24 hours after their last message. This is the same for every tool.

How many: Free has 1 auto DM for 50 people a month. Pro has 10. Business has as many as you want.
