Key points
- DM Auto Reply answers incoming conversations from your own knowledge base.

- Reply length, threads per run, history depth and reply timing are configurable.
What DM Auto Reply does
Answers Instagram DMs and message requests with AI replies built from your own FAQ, product details, prices, and sales goal — then files each request where it belongs.
You paste your knowledge base and lead goal once. The assistant answers real buyers, hands anything sensitive to a human, and clears spam out of your requests folder on its own.
Provide your FAQ and lead goal
Add the FAQ, prices, terms and delivery details you want the app to use in replies. Set a lead goal to describe the direction of the conversation, such as answering a product question and sharing your purchase link.
The knowledge base provides the facts for an answer. The lead goal provides the conversational objective. The linked DM setup guide includes a copyable template for preparing this information.
Scan the inbox and route message requests
DM Auto Reply scans the general inbox and message requests. You can restrict it to opening threads that are unread or have changed since the last pass.
- Qualification filters require genuine business intent and skip likely spam.
- Refund, legal and complaint keywords trigger human handoff rather than an improvised answer.
| Request type | App handling |
|---|---|
| A lead worth replying to | Accepted into General |
| A request needing a human | Accepted into Primary |
| Spam | Deleted |
Configure reply size and timing
Adjust reply length, threads per run and conversation history depth. Per-run reply limits control the reply workload, while the unread-or-changed setting controls which conversations are opened.
The module includes a randomized minimum wait before replying, follow-up timing and occasional deferred replies. The organic scheduler adds shared pacing, sleep hours and per-activity intervals.
Keep incoming replies separate from engagement
This workflow starts with incoming DMs and message requests. Engage Feed and Engage Profiles are the separate modules that like and comment on posts. Use their guides when you want feed or profile engagement rather than an inbox reply workflow.
