When does an auto DM go out?
- Someone comments a keyword on a post or reel, like "LINK", "GUIDE" or "RECIPE".
- Someone replies to or reacts to your story. Perfect for "reply YES for the link" stories.
- Someone DMs you a keyword, like "PRICE" or "COLLAB".
What you can put in an auto DM
- Text up to 1,000 characters, with the fan's first name.
- Up to 3 link buttons (1 on the free plan). Every link is tracked, so you see clicks per post.
- Quick replies, so fans tap an answer instead of typing.
- A swipeable product carousel with images and buy buttons (Pro).
- An email request, with badly typed emails caught and asked again. See lead generation.
Make auto DMs grow your account
Turn on the follow gate (Pro) and the link unlocks only after the fan follows you. FameChamp checks the follow through the official API, so it is a real check. Add a nudge (Pro) and fans who did not tap your link get one friendly reminder later, always inside Instagram's 24-hour window.

Frequently asked questions
Is auto DM on Instagram free?
On FameChamp, yes. The free plan sends up to 500 DMs a month with no time limit and no card.
Can I auto DM new followers?
Instagram's API does not notify apps about new followers, so no tool on the official API can DM every new follower automatically. Tools that claim to usually log in as you, which risks your account.
Can I send a DM to people who liked my post?
No. The official API lets businesses start a conversation after a comment, a story reply or a DM, not after a like.
How fast is the auto DM?
Usually within seconds of the comment or message.
