How fast does the DM go out?

Under 60 seconds typically. ~47s median across our 500+ brands.

Can I personalize per commenter?

Yes — pull commenter username, comment text, and tags. AI brand-voice variant generates per-person openings.

Do I need to follow people first?

No. Instagram allows DM replies to anyone who has commented or messaged you in the last 7 days.

What happens if 10,000 people comment?

All get DMs (subject to plan limit). Most plans cover 3k–12k DMs/mo. Volume bursts are common on viral posts.

How is this different from ManyChat?

Functionally similar for the DM trigger. Different where it counts: FG hides spam comments above the funnel, replies on the comment in your brand voice, and has TikTok native.

Can I A/B test DM messages?

Yes — variant testing on the same trigger.

Yes — 50 comments + DMs/month free forever, no card.

Wie es funktioniert

4 Schritte bis zur Live-Nutzung

Pick a keyword for the comment

Choose a word your audience naturally types — "TIPS", "GUIDE", or your campaign name. Anything from 3+ characters works.

Write the DM the keyword sends

Plain text, an image, or a multi-step sequence. AI brand-voice variant available — paste 5 of your real DMs and it learns your tone.

Auto-reply on the comment too

Public reply on the comment ("Sent! Check your DMs ✓") signals to other readers that they can comment too. Compounds the reach of the post.

Switch on moderation alongside

While the DM funnel runs, FG's 98.7% spam moderation hides scam comments under the same post — so the funnel doesn't fire on bot comments and burn DM quota.

Hypothetisches Beispiel

Achtung

Häufige Fehler

Using a keyword that's common in normal comments (e.g. "yes", "love")

→

Pick something specific — campaign-named or 3+ characters that wouldn't fire by accident.

Sending only the link in the DM with no follow-up

→

Add a qualifying question after the link delivery. Conversion 3–4x higher when there's a back-and-forth.

Letting bot/spam comments burn your DM quota

→

Run comment moderation in parallel. FeedGuardians hides spam first — DM funnel only fires on real comments.
