Comment-to-DM
MAXSend your link to everyone who comments.
Comment-to-DM sends a DM from your account to anyone who comments the word you pick, then delivers your link as soon as they tap to confirm. It runs on one post or on all of them, future posts included.
DMs only go to people who comment your word. Instagram has to approve DM access for your account.
Comment-to-DM
How it works
They comment your word
Pick a word like GUIDE and choose the posts it runs on.
A DM asks first
Within seconds they get a DM from you with a button to tap. Instagram doesn't allow a link in this first message.
The link arrives
The moment they tap, your link lands in their DMs. Buzzfy can post a public reply under their comment too.
What you get
Your words, your posts
Watch for the words you choose, on one post or on every post, including future ones. Match a word exactly or anywhere in a comment.
Two messages, by design
The first asks, the second delivers. It's Instagram's rule, and it means nobody gets a link they didn't ask for.
A public reply
An automatic reply under the comment, picked at random from the lines you write, so your comments don't repeat.
Optional follow step
Ask people who don't follow you yet to follow before the link. Off unless you turn it on.
A six-step funnel
Comments caught, first DMs, taps, follows, links sent and links opened, for each automation.
Once per person
By default, each person gets it once per post, even if they comment twice. A rule that would DM every commenter on every post needs your extra OK.
Why two messages
The link waits for a yes.
Instagram doesn't let an account send a link to someone who hasn't messaged it first. So the first DM asks, and their tap counts as messaging you. That opens the door for the second DM, the one with your link.
- Nobody gets a link they didn't ask for
- Sent through Instagram's official messaging API
- No limit from Buzzfy on automations or DMs
Set it up
One word, two messages, done.
Pick the word to watch for, write the first DM and the one with your link, and choose the posts it runs on. A live preview shows what people will see, and each automation gets its own funnel.

Good to know
Instagram approves DM access
Comment-to-DM needs two extra Instagram permissions: sending DMs, and reading and replying to comments. Instagram approves DM access per account, and a few accounts don't get it.
Questions
How do I automatically DM people who comment on my Instagram post?
Create an automation: pick your word, write the first DM and the DM with your link, and choose which posts it runs on. From then on, anyone who comments that word gets a DM from you within seconds.
Why does the DM ask people to tap before sending the link?
Instagram doesn't let an account send a link to someone who hasn't messaged it first. The first DM asks, and tapping its button counts as messaging you. That opens the door for the second DM, the one with your link. It also means nobody gets a link they didn't ask for.
Is comment-to-DM allowed by Instagram? Can I get banned?
Buzzfy sends DMs through Instagram's official messaging API and follows its rules, including the confirm step. DMs go out at a pace that adapts to Instagram's limits.
Is there a limit on automations or DMs?
Buzzfy sets no limit on automations or DMs. Instagram's own limits still apply.
Can it reply publicly under the comment?
Yes. Turn on public replies and Buzzfy posts one under each matching comment, picked at random from the lines you write.
Which plan includes comment-to-DM?
MAX.
Does it work on every account?
Instagram has to approve DM access for your account; a few accounts don't get it. Your dashboard tells you if yours was refused.
