How To Auto-DM Users Who Replied to an Instagram Post
Have you ever wondered how content creators and brands manage to instantly message everyone who comments specific words on their Instagram posts? This increasingly popular marketing tactic has gained tremendous traction because it enables businesses to engage with prospects at their peak interest moment. If you're curious about implementing this powerful strategy for your own brand, this comprehensive guide will walk you through the entire process.
This tutorial will demonstrate how to automatically send customized direct messages to users who engage with Instagram content using the IGdm Pro application. You'll discover how to configure automated responses that enable you to connect with your audience more effectively while maintaining genuine, personalized communication.
Getting Started with IGdm Pro
IGdm Pro is a comprehensive Instagram automation platform specifically engineered to streamline Instagram business workflows and enhance productivity for marketers, content creators, and business owners. Beyond the comment auto-DM functionality detailed in this tutorial, IGdm Pro offers a comprehensive collection of automation features including mass messaging capabilities, message scheduling functionality, automated response systems, welcome message automation for new followers, follower data extraction tools, and many other efficiency-boosting capabilities.
To get IGdm Pro installed:
- Navigate to the official website: https://igdm.me
- Select the download option appropriate for your system (Windows, macOS, Linux).
- After the download completes, run the installer and complete the setup process.
Connecting Your Instagram Account
- Open the IGdm Pro Application once installation is complete.
- Select the button marked "Click to login with Browser". This will launch instagram.com within a built-in Chromium browser window.
- Enter your Instagram account credentials in the browser window to authenticate.
- After successful authentication, the browser window will automatically close. Return to the IGdm Pro application as it initializes your account information.
Configuring Auto-DM for Comment Responders
- Position your cursor over your profile image in the upper left section of the IGdm Pro interface (illustrated below).
- A menu will appear. Choose the "Auto-Messaging Tools" option from this dropdown.
- This will take you to the "Auto Message Tools" section.
- From the left sidebar, select "Auto-Message Post Repliers".
- A configuration form will appear (shown in the screenshot below) containing these fields:
- Post URL: Input the Instagram post URL (e.g., https://instagram.com/p/ABC123/) where you want to automatically contact commenters. The post can belong to any account, not necessarily your own.
- Trigger Phrases (Optional): When specified, messages will only be dispatched to commenters whose responses include any of these keywords. If left blank, all commenters will receive the message regardless of their comment content. Examples might include words like 'interested', 'price', or 'details'.
- Message: Enter the primary message content to send to commenters. You can incorporate variables such as {{username}}, {{name}}, or {{firstname}} to personalize your outreach.
- Alternative Messages: Multiple message variations help prevent spam detection and support multilingual communication. If a commenter's profile indicates a language that matches one of your message versions, they'll receive that specific version. Otherwise, a random version will be selected.
- Follow-Up Message: An optional secondary message that can be delivered after a designated number of days (1-3 days) following the initial message. You can decide whether to send follow-ups even if the recipient has already replied.
Once you've completed the form fields, your configuration will resemble the screenshot shown below. I've also included a follow-up message that will deliver an additional message to commenters several days after the initial outreach.
With the form now fully configured, we can initiate our automation by clicking "Save Commenter Message Config".
Enabling the Automation
After saving your configuration, it won't automatically become active. You must activate the toggle shown in the screenshot below for it to begin operating. Should you wish to pause this automation at any time, simply turn the toggle back off.
Why IGdm Pro Outperforms Competing Solutions
What makes IGdm Pro exceptionally valuable is its capability to function on any Instagram post - not limited to your own content. This enables you to strategically target users who are interacting with your competitors' posts, providing access to a highly relevant audience that's already demonstrating interest in your industry or market segment. IGdm Pro stands alone as the only application offering this unique functionality.
IMPORTANT: The auto-messaging feature requires IGdm Pro to be actively running. However, when you restart the application, the automation will resume functioning immediately.
Final Thoughts
Implementing automated direct messaging for Instagram post commenters represents a highly effective strategy for connecting with potential customers and establishing meaningful relationships. Using IGdm Pro, you can efficiently reach users who have already demonstrated interest in your market by engaging with relevant content - whether from your own posts or competitor posts. This focused approach enables you to connect with highly engaged audiences, potentially transforming casual commenters into followers, customers, or strategic partners. The capability to personalize messages using variables and employ multiple message variations ensures your outreach maintains authenticity rather than appearing automated.
Remember to develop thoughtful, value-driven messages that offer genuine benefit to recipients. The objective is to initiate meaningful conversations, and when implemented strategically and respectfully, this automation can dramatically enhance your Instagram marketing initiatives and accelerate your business growth on the platform.
