inDM turns Instagram comments into automatic direct messages. Someone comments a keyword on a reel or post, and inDM replies to them privately with the link, the code or the answer the creator set up. This connection is the building and debugging surface for that. Describe the automation you want — the post, the keyword, the message, the link — and it is created on your inDM account as a draft. You review it, then set it live in the same conversation or in the inDM app. Nothing is sent through this connection. No direct message, no public comment reply and no broadcast leaves Instagram by this path. Every automation is created with status draft, and a single tool, set_automation_status, is what makes one live. Once it is live the automation runs on inDM's own engine, unattended, whether or not this conversation is open. What you can do here: • Draft and check an automation before you have connected anything, so you can see the shape of one first. • Look up the Instagram and inDM rules that govern it — the 24-hour messaging window, how keyword matching works, the three-link ceiling Meta imposes, follow-up timing, and the follow and email gates. • List your connected Instagram accounts and your recent posts and reels, and pull in a post that was published moments ago. • Create an automation on a specific post, change one later, and set it live or pause it. • Read how an automation is doing: how many times it triggered, how many messages went out, how many were delivered and how many failed. Aggregate counts only. • Diagnose an account that has gone quiet — whether Instagram has paused the connection and why, whether messages are queued behind a send cap, and which errors Instagram has returned recently. • Check what happened for one named person, by exact Instagram handle, when a creator asks why someone did not receive a message. What it cannot do, by design: it cannot send a message, browse, list or export your followers, read what anyone wrote to you, or touch billing. It cannot see an account you have not connected, or any workspace you are not a member of. You connect with your existing inDM account. Instagram access is granted separately, inside inDM, through Meta's own login — this connection never sees your Instagram password. inDM is an independent product built on Meta's official Instagram API. It is not endorsed by, sponsored by, or affiliated with Meta Platforms, Inc.
draft; set_automation_status is what makes it live. Takes the keywords, the DM, an optional link and button label, an optional public reply, and optionally an opt-in opener, a follow gate, an email gate with their wording, and a follow-up message.Click any prompt to copy it.
