What is Comment-to-DM?

Automation that turns a comment on a social post into a direct message conversation.

Comment-to-DM is an automation pattern where a person commenting on an Instagram or Facebook post — often with a specific keyword — is automatically sent a direct message. This converts public engagement on a post into a private, one-to-one conversation the business can continue.

It is widely used in social marketing: a post invites people to comment a word to receive a link, discount, guide, or product details, and the automation delivers it instantly via DM. The DM then opens the door to qualification, sales, or capturing contact details.

Comment-to-DM scales lead capture from organic and paid social content without manual replies to every comment.
