Good To Know

What actually triggers an auto-reply.

Instagram Auto DM is built specifically around Direct Messages. Here's exactly what it does and doesn't respond to, so there's no confusion once it's live.

Triggers a reply
  • A Direct Message sent to your Instagram account
  • That contains a keyword you've configured
  • From any follower or non-follower who can message you
Does not trigger a reply
  • Comments on your posts or reels
  • Story replies or story mentions
  • Messages that don't contain a matching keyword
Why Instagram Auto DM?

Never miss a message that matters.

Turn repetitive Instagram DM questions into instant, automatic replies — without hiring a community manager or staying glued to your inbox.

Keyword-based matching

Set the exact words or phrases that should trigger a reply, and let OneLinkHQ watch your DMs for you.

Instant automated replies

The moment a matching keyword arrives in your DMs, your reply is sent automatically — no manual typing required.

Multiple keyword rules

Create separate keywords for pricing, support, collaborations, or anything else people frequently DM you about.

Works only on Direct Messages

Auto DM is scoped to Direct Messages only, so your comments and story replies stay exactly as they are.

Works while you're offline

Replies go out automatically whether you're online, asleep, or busy — so no message waits longer than it has to.

One centralized dashboard

Set up, edit, and monitor every keyword rule and reply from your OneLinkHQ dashboard.

Reply Performance

Know which keywords are doing the work.

Sending automatic replies is only half the picture. OneLinkHQ shows you which keywords are being matched most, so you know what people are actually asking about.

  • See how many DMs matched each keyword.
  • Track automatic reply delivery in real time.
  • Compare performance across keyword rules.
  • Manage every rule from one dashboard.

Simple Workflow

Set it up once. It replies forever.

Choose a keyword

Pick a word or phrase people commonly DM you about — like "price," "info," or "collab."

02

Write your auto-reply

Set the message OneLinkHQ should send back the moment that keyword shows up in a DM.

03

Someone sends a matching DM

The instant a Direct Message contains your keyword, your reply is sent automatically — comments and stories are left untouched.

FAQ

Instagram Auto DM, explained.

Everything you need to know before setting up your first keyword rule.

No. Instagram Auto DM only triggers on incoming Direct Messages that match one of your configured keywords. It does not reply to comments, story mentions, or any other type of interaction.
You set one or more keywords or phrases. When someone sends you a Direct Message containing a matching keyword, OneLinkHQ automatically sends back the reply you configured for that keyword.
Yes. You can create multiple keyword rules, each with its own automatic reply, link, or message.
No. Once a keyword rule is set up, OneLinkHQ sends the automatic reply whenever a matching DM arrives, whether or not you are online.
Nothing automatic happens. Auto DM only responds when a message matches one of your configured keywords, so unrelated messages are left for you to answer normally.
Yes. You can edit the keyword, the reply message, or turn a rule off entirely at any time from your dashboard.
