A public reply
Reply under the comment too, in a few versions so it never repeats. It's skipped on a very busy reel.
Pacing
Up to 5 DMs a minute per account, so a busy reel's DMs queue instead of tripping Instagram's limits.
One reel, or all of them.
Run it on a single reel, or on every reel on the account.
How it works.
Connect your Instagram account
With Instagram's own login, and allow comments and messages. Turn on “Allow access to messages” in the Instagram app.
Pick the reel, the word and the DM
Write your DM, and add a public reply if you want one.
Say the word in your reel
“Comment GUIDE and I'll send it to you.” Motion Reel does the rest.
Where it works.
- Instagram Reels
- Reels on public Business and Creator accounts, through Instagram's private replies.
TikTok- Not on TikTok. You can still schedule the same video there, and run comment-to-DM on Instagram.
YouTube Shorts- YouTube has no DMs to send. You can still schedule the same video as a Short.
Questions
What is comment-to-DM?+
It's an automation that sends a direct message to anyone who comments a chosen word on your post. Creators use it to hand out a link, a freebie or a code, because Instagram captions can't hold a clickable link.
How do I automatically DM people who comment on my reel?+
Connect your Instagram account to Motion Reel, create an automation with your keyword and your DM, and choose one reel or every reel. Everyone whose comment matches gets the DM, once per person per reel.
Does comment-to-DM work on every reel?+
You choose one reel or every reel on the account, and a keyword or any comment. Each person gets one DM per reel, and your own comments never trigger it.
Is comment-to-DM allowed on Instagram?+
Motion Reel sends each DM through Instagram's private replies, the official way for an app to answer a comment with a DM. You connect with Instagram's own login.
Why didn't someone get the DM?+
Replies under other comments and your own comments are skipped, and Instagram allows the DM for 7 days after the comment. The account also needs “Allow access to messages” on in the Instagram app. The automation shows anything that didn't go out.
Does it work on TikTok or YouTube?+
No. Comment-to-DM is only on Instagram.
Do I need an AI agent?+
No. You can set up and run comment-to-DM from the dashboard. If you do use one, it can work with the same things.
Can my AI agent set it up?+
Yes. Connect Claude, Codex, Cursor or another MCP client to Motion Reel and ask it to. It shows you a preview, and nothing turns on until you say yes.
