Why Automate Instagram DMs?
Let’s be open. Instagram is one of the most popular social networks left. But as your audience grows, so does your message volume. Manually replying to every DM isn’t productive; it’s hectic. Automation lets you:
- Instantly send DM to people who comment on your reel or post.
- Answer FAQs 24/7
- Nurture leads and drive sales
- Never miss an important message
And the amazing part? With the right automation, you can do all this without sounding spammy. The key is smart automation.
Step 1: Switch to a Business or Creator Account
Instagram DM automation only works with Business or Creator profiles. Here’s how to switch:
- Open Instagram and go to your profile.
- Tap the menu (☰) > Settings > Account Type and Tools.
- Select “Switch to Professional Account.”
- Choose “Business” or “Creator” and follow the prompts.
Mandatory for using advanced features.
Step 2: Connect Your Instagram to Facebook and Meta Business Suite
You can do this directly from the MaaDiy homepage once you log in.
Step 3: Choose Your Automation Platform
There are lots of tools out there, but for this tutorial, let’s focus on MaaDiy—a user-friendly, affordable platform designed for Instagram DM automation, comment replies, and inbox management. MaaDiy offers a free plan, making it perfect for beginners to try out.
Step 4: Set Up Your Automation Triggers
Automation works with triggers, which are the actions that “start” your automated messages. Common triggers include:
- Comment on a Post: DM users who comment with specific keywords (e.g., “INFO” or “DEMO”).
- Keyword in DM: Reply automatically when someone DMs you a certain word.
- DM Message: When someone sent particular word to your inbox the automation is triggered.
For example, if you want to deliver a free guide, ask followers to comment “GUIDE” on your post. Set “GUIDE” as a trigger, and MaaDiy will send the guide link to anyone who comments.
Step 5: Activate and Test Your Automation
Once you’ve set your triggers and templates, activate your automation. Test it by:
- Following your own account
- Commenting on the trigger word on a post
- Sending yourself a DM with a keyword
Check that the automation works correctly and the messages look personalized. MaaDiy’s dashboard lets you monitor and tweak your automation easily.
Step 7: Monitor, Analyze, and Optimize
Automation isn’t “set it and forget.” Use MaaDiy’s analytics to track:
- Number of automated DMs sent
- Open rate, click through rate, and other analytics for your marketing ROI.
- Which templates drive the most engagement
Tweak your triggers and messaging based on what works and what doesn’t. This is how you turn automation into a real growth engine.
