Quick answerFacebook Page and Instagram DM automation follow the same Meta rules: a 24-hour window and one private reply per comment. Instagram adds story triggers, conversation starters and a follow check. Facebook reaches an older, local audience through Page posts. Most businesses run both with the same keywords.
