Instagram DM automation that holds the conversation.
Most Instagram DM automation fires a keyword and dead-ends with a link. HyperDM runs the whole playbook — comment-to-DM, keywords, story replies — then actually holds the conversation: it reads intent, knows your catalog, and closes.
Comment-to-DM
Reply to a keyword in your post or reel comments with an instant DM and the right link — then keep talking until they buy, instead of leaving them on a single link.
comment → DMKeyword triggers
A DM keyword (“PRICE”, “DROP”, “GUIDE”) starts the right flow and hands off to a grounded answer, not a dead-end link. One keyword, a whole conversation.
keywordStory-reply automation
Story mentions and reactions become conversations — HyperDM replies in-thread with what they actually asked for, the moment they tap through from your story.
story replyGrounded catalog answers
Price, stock, sizing, shipping, returns — answered from your real catalog and policies. Never an invented price, never a promised stock you don’t have.
groundedCart recovery & checkout
HyperDM nudges abandoned carts within policy and drops the buy link to close the sale, right inside the DM — no app-switch, no “check the link in bio”.
cart recoveryLead capture
Capture emails with logged opt-in from comments and DMs, and sync them to your ESP for the follow-up — so a single reel becomes a list you own.

How Instagram DM automation works with HyperDM.
Three steps. A comment, keyword or story reply comes in, HyperDM answers from your real store, and it carries the conversation all the way to checkout.
Trigger
Someone comments a keyword, DMs a trigger word, or replies to your story. HyperDM picks it up instantly on the official Graph API and opens the thread.
Grounded answer
It reads what they actually meant, pulls the real price, stock and sizing from your catalog, and replies in your voice in about two seconds — never an invented detail.
Close or capture
HyperDM sends the checkout link to close, recovers the cart if they stall, or captures the email with logged opt-in — then hands off to you the moment a human is needed.
AI-first, with a canvas underneath
Describe what you want. Draw the bits you want fixed.
Start by briefing the agent in plain English — it reads the DM, pulls the answer from your store, and decides what to send, with no flow required. When you do want a path pinned down, there’s a full visual flow builder for it, and you can drop an AI Step into any flow to hand one turn back to the agent. Most tools make you pick. You don’t.

HyperDM vs ManyChat
HyperDM vs ManyChat on Instagram.
Both do comment-to-DM and keywords, and both give you a visual builder. The difference is what happens on the second message — when the scripted path runs out and the customer keeps talking.

FAQ
HyperDM on Instagram, answered.
Does HyperDM use the official Instagram API?+
Yes. HyperDM connects through Instagram Messaging on the official Meta Graph API — no unofficial automation that risks your account. Every send respects Instagram’s 24-hour messaging window and policy.
What is comment-to-DM automation?+
When someone comments a keyword on your post or reel, HyperDM automatically slides into their DMs with the right link or answer — then keeps the conversation going instead of dead-ending with a single link.
Can HyperDM answer product and sizing questions?+
Yes. HyperDM is grounded in your real catalog, inventory, and policies, so it answers price, stock, sizing, shipping and returns accurately — and never invents a price or a discount.
Is there a free plan for Instagram?+
Yes. Instagram is free with 50 conversations per month and a “Powered by HyperDM” badge on replies. Run one channel at a time on the free plan, and upgrade to remove the badge and run every channel at once.
How is HyperDM different from ManyChat and other keyword bots?+
Keyword bots fire a trigger and hope. HyperDM reads intent, knows your catalog, and answers like someone who actually works in your shop — so nothing depends on you having drawn that branch first. You still get a visual flow builder for the paths you want fixed; the difference is the AI is a step inside the canvas rather than an add-on beside it. It recovers carts and closes the sale instead of just sending a link.
Does HyperDM automate Instagram story replies?+
Yes. When someone reacts to or replies to your story, HyperDM picks it up and answers in-thread with what they actually asked for — a price, a link, a sizing answer — rather than a generic auto-reply. It’s the same grounded agent that handles your comments and DMs.
How fast does HyperDM reply to Instagram comments and DMs?+
About two seconds, around the clock. When a reel takes off and the comments flood in, HyperDM sends the comment-to-DM and carries every conversation at once — so you capture intent at its peak instead of replying hours later when the moment has passed.
Can I take over an Instagram conversation manually?+
Anytime. You can jump into any thread from the shared inbox, and HyperDM hands off automatically the moment something needs a human — a complaint, a refund, anything outside policy. Every send is logged, so you always have the full context and the receipts.
