The most common use of Dotechat: someone comments "price" on your post and gets the price or the link in a DM right away.

Set it up

  • Open Automations and choose "Start from a ready automation".
  • Pick the posts: specific posts or all of them.
  • Write the words that start the reply, such as: price, how much, details.
  • Write the public reply under the comment (optional) and the DM.
  • Review and switch it on.

From a new post

When you create a post from the Content page you can add the comment reply to it directly, so it works the moment the post goes live.

Tips

  • Write prices and links yourself in the message: the automation sends only what you wrote.
  • Instagram allows one DM in reply to each comment; the conversation continues when the person replies.
