Comment to DM

Something I’ve discovered recently is Comment to DM. It’s a service that will automatically DM a message if someone comments on your post or comments a specific phrase. You might say,

“Leave your favorite emoji in comments if you want me the campaign URL via DM.”

Or you can specify a specific phrase that triggers the DM. I’ve seen a few people using this and it may help people who get lost trying to find the link in the bio. The service I’ve seen is called Many Chat. They also offer other automation features.

Here’s an in depth post about how it works.

It looks like there is a free tier and it’s paid after 1000 user interactions (as of December 2023).
