See it on your brand

A guest comments RESERVE on Papi Steak's real Instagram post. A public reply goes up under the comment, the DM arrives with a Book a table link, and the guest opens Papi Steak's real SevenRooms reservation page while the automation's activations, clicks, CTR and Daily Trend climb. The buttons under the stage switch to LIV, where any comment gets the VIP tables page, FIFA World Cup, where SHOP gets the FIFA Store, and Mall of America, where any comment gets its Linkme page. Set it up shows how Papi Steak's automation was made: the post, the keyword RESERVE and its public reply, the DM with the SevenRooms link and the Title Book a table, and Go Live.

Build it once. It answers every matching comment after.

The choices behind every automation, on LIV Miami's real posts and page: which posts it watches, which comments it answers, the DM, what the fan sees, replies to DMs and what it all earned. The automations and counts are samples.

Specific posts, or every post you publish

Pick the posts or reels to watch. A post another automation already uses is marked Assigned, so two never answer the same comment. Any post or reel also covers the posts you publish later.

The DM Automations screens, tab by tab, on LIV Miami's real posts: picking posts with Any post or reel and a post already assigned to another automation; an emoji keyword, then Any comment; the DM with its byte counter, Use my bio link and a Title; the DM thread as the fan sees it, opening the link in the DM, here LIV's Linkme page; a DM automation on Any message with three link buttons; and the analytics, with Clicks Over Time and Top Automations.

Four industries, four ways to answer

Public replies that never read like a copy and paste

Set the words people actually comment, like RESERVE or BOOK, or an emoji. A public reply goes up under each one, rotating through up to five variations of 300 characters, so the thread reads like a person answered.

  • Keywords and emoji, or Any comment
  • Up to 5 public reply variations, 300 characters each
  • One automation per post, so two never answer the same comment

Papi Steak's Configure Triggers card with the keywords RESERVE, a steak emoji and BOOK and three reply variations; on the post, three people comment one keyword each and each gets a different public reply.

Replies that read like a person, not a script

Set a Comment Reply Delay and a DM Reply Delay anywhere from 1 second to 15 minutes. Linkme's own advice is 30 to 90 seconds, which feels natural and helps avoid spam detection.

  • Separate delays for the public reply and the DM
  • Anywhere from 1 second to 15 minutes
  • Any message replies reach a person once every 24 hours at most

Timing Settings with a 1 minute Comment Reply Delay and a 90 second DM Reply Delay beside the fan's phone: the comment at 0:00, the public reply at 1:00, the DM with the link at 1:30.

Questions about DM Automations

Will it get my account flagged?

Linkme is built to reply the way a person would. Set a Comment Reply Delay and a DM Reply Delay from 1 second to 15 minutes (30 to 90 seconds is the advice in the app), an automation that answers any message reaches the same person once every 24 hours at most, and keyword replies wait a few minutes before they can repeat.

Can the DM send any link, or only my Linkme page?

Any link. Paste a reservation page, a store, a ticket page or a form into Link URL and add an optional Title, or tap Use my bio link to send your Linkme page. Linkme tracks the link, so every click is counted either way.

Does it work on Facebook?

Yes. DM Automations run on Facebook Pages as well as Instagram business and creator accounts. Connect the Pages you manage, and automations reply to comments and send Messenger DMs with any link.

How many automations can I run?

Every plan can use automations, including the free People plan, each with its own limits. Linkme Pro has unlimited automations and up to 100,000 contacts a month, and every Business plan (AI Standard, AI Power Maxed and Enterprise) includes DM automations.

Is there a limit on how many people automations can message?

Each plan includes a number of monthly contacts, shown as Monthly Contacts in the app. You can buy more in bundles of 1,000, 5,000 or 10,000.

Do I have to use keywords?

No. An automation can reply to every comment on a post, or only to comments that contain the words you set, and emoji count as keywords. Turn on Auto reply to comments and Linkme also posts a public reply under each comment, in up to five variations of up to 300 characters.

Can Linkme answer DMs automatically too?

Yes. A DM automation responds to the messages people send you on Instagram or in Messenger, on keywords or on any message. On Instagram it can send up to three links as buttons under the reply.
