How it works
Comment triggers a DM
Someone drops a keyword in your comments, "GUIDE", "LINK", "FREEBIE", and Botyoo fires a personalized DM to that person within seconds. Your freebie, your link, your offer. Delivered automatically.
Comment detected → DM sent

Want me to send weekly tips too? Drop your email and I'll add you to the list!
Follow-ups run themselves
Set timed follow-up messages to re-engage anyone who didn't open your link. Announce your course, drop a reminder, share a bonus. Your funnel keeps running while you're filming your next piece.
Follow-up sequence
"Here's your free guide! Let me know if you have questions 📩"
"Did you get a chance to go through it? Page 12 is the one everyone asks about 👀"
"My full course drops Friday. Early access is open, want the link before it goes public?"
Key use cases
- Freebie delivery
- Comment a keyword → instant DM with your PDF, checklist, or guide. No link-in-bio friction, no lost leads.
- Link in bio replacement
- Stop sending people to a static page. Drive them to DMs instead, higher engagement, better tracking, real conversations.
- Story reply automation
- Mention your lead magnet in a story. Everyone who replies gets a DM instantly, even at 3am when you're asleep.
- Course and offer promotion
- Warm up your audience through DM conversations before pitching. Followers who reply are already engaged, they convert better.
Your questions answered
Everything you need to know about running Instagram DM automation with Botyoo. Can't find what you're looking for? Contact our customer support team.
Will Instagram flag my account for using automation?
Botyoo connects through Meta's official API, so you're working within Instagram's permitted automation tools, not scraping or botting. This is the same infrastructure that major brands and agencies use. Following Meta's guidelines (like not spamming unsolicited DMs) keeps your account in good standing.
Can I use this to deliver different freebies to different audiences?
Yes, each automation you create has its own keyword, message, and destination link. So you can run a "GUIDE" automation for one post and a "TEMPLATE" automation for another, and each sends the right thing to the right person. No mixing, no mistakes.
How does email list building through DMs actually work?
After sending the initial freebie, your flow can ask a follow-up question like "Want me to email this too?" When someone replies with their address, Botyoo captures it and stores it as a contact. You can then export those emails or connect them to your email tool via Zapier or webhook.
Can I promote a paid course or offer through DM flows?
Absolutely. Many creators use Botyoo to warm up leads with a freebie first, then follow up days later with a pitch for their paid offer. The sequence feels personal rather than spammy, which means higher open rates and better conversion compared to a cold link drop.
