Quick answerTo automate Instagram DMs, switch to a Professional account, connect a tool on the official Instagram API, and create automations for four triggers: comment keywords, story replies, DM keywords and conversation starters. Add AI replies for open questions. Everything runs inside Instagram's 24-hour window.
The starter setup
| Automation | Trigger | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Freebie delivery | Comment keyword on reels | Turns reach into conversations |
| Story link | Story reply "YES" | Links from stories without stickers |
| Price and FAQ | DM keywords PRICE, SHIP | Instant answers |
| Welcome menu | Conversation starters | Guides new chats |
| Everything else | AI reply (Growth) | Open questions from your FAQs |
Rules to know first
No cold DMs, 24-hour window, one private reply per comment. The full rules.
Keep it human
When you reply by hand, FameChamp pauses automation for that chat. Anyone who sends STOP is opted out of automations and AI.
