Instagram DM automation for comments, keywords and story replies
BuzzWire turns Instagram engagement into owned audience. When someone comments your keyword, replies to your story, or DMs you, BuzzWire sends an automatic reply with your link instantly, in seconds, every time. Built on Meta's official API, not bots or scraping. Messages are paced like a human sent them, personalized with the commenter's name, and rotated through variations so spam filters never see the same message twice. Each person gets a maximum of one DM per 24 hours. The free plan includes unlimited DMs, unlimited automations, comment-to-DM, keyword replies, story replies, multi-step flows, spintax variations and the complete safety suite. Pro adds follower gating, in-DM email capture, rich image cards and branded removal.
Instagram and WhatsApp replies, sent automatically
Manychat is the tool behind every post that says comment LINK and I will send it to you. It watches for a keyword in comments or DMs and answers with a message, a link or a sequence, which turns a post that got reach into an email list. Instagram is where most creators use it. Messenger, WhatsApp and TikTok are also connected.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Our note
Worth knowing before you build a funnel on it: the contact meter counts anybody who interacted in the month, so one post that does numbers can move you two tiers. Check the per-contact overage rate, not just the headline price.
