Comment auto-replies in Instagram

Your bot replies to new comments automatically, with a random response from your list or an AI reply that addresses the comment. It runs when no keyword rule matches.

A bot’s reply to an Instagram comment

How it works

  1. 1

    A comment arrives

    Under any post or selected posts.

  2. 2

    Keyword rules run first

    If a rule matches, the general auto-reply stays silent.

  3. 3

    Otherwise, the auto-reply runs

    One comment, one reply, no duplicates.

How to enable Instagram comment auto-replies

In your dashboard:CommentsAuto-replies

  1. 1

    Open “Comments” → “Auto-replies”

    Find “Comments” in your bot’s Instagram menu. Above the feed are three links: “Keywords”, “Auto-replies” and “Mentions”.

  2. 2

    Choose what to reply

    Add at least five messages for your bot to choose from at random. Or let AI write a short reply following your rules.

  3. 3

    Where to reply and which posts to cover

    Publicly under the comment, privately in a DM to its author, or both. On all posts or selected ones.

  4. 4

    Set reply safeguards

    Skip emojis and very short comments if you wish. An hourly reply limit protects your account: Instagram treats large numbers of identical replies as spam.

  5. 5

    Turn on spam protection

    The bot hides or deletes banned words, links, other people’s contact details, all-caps text, emoji-only comments and repeats, without replying to them.

FAQs

Why do I need at least five replies?
Instagram treats identical replies under every comment as spam. Your bot picks a random reply from the list each time.
How are auto-replies different from keyword rules?
A keyword rule gives a specific reply to a keyword and sends a DM. Auto-replies handle the remaining comments. Keywords take priority, so a comment never gets two replies.
Can AI answer?
Yes, on Premium. AI writes a short reply based on the comment and your rules. An AI agent answers questions about prices and services.
Does the bot delete spam?
Yes. Choose whether to hide or delete it. A hidden comment is visible only to its author, so the spammer doesn’t realise it’s been hidden.
