They comment a word, they get your direct message
PilotControl’s comment-to-DM automation works on Instagram and Facebook: when someone comments a keyword on your post —GUIDE, for example— they get an automatic direct message, and when they reply, they get the follow-up with the link or resource you promised.
How it works
- Pick the post and the keyword.
- Write the opening message that arrives as a DM.
- Write the follow-up, sent when the person replies to that first message.
- Optional on Instagram: ask people to follow you before they get the resource.
What people use it for
- Delivering a guide, a coupon or a link without putting it in the caption.
- Turning comments into private conversations where you can sell or book.
- Growing followers with Instagram’s follower filter.
Welcome messages and the message bot
Beyond keyword automations, the Message bot can greet first-time contacts, show conversation starters and answer private conversations with your brand manual, automatically or as drafts.
Frequently asked questions
Before you start
Does it work on TikTok or YouTube?
No. Comment-to-DM works on Instagram and Facebook, the networks that allow sending a direct message from a comment.
Can I DM every new follower?
No, no network allows outside tools to do that. What you can do is ask people to follow you before they get the resource, and greet them when they message you for the first time.
Is there a cap on automatic messages?
PilotControl doesn’t charge per message or put a quota on automations. Each network has its own sending rules and limits, and those have to be respected.
