You will need

- A Manychat account connected to it
- A page that holds your prices or booking link
Instagram comment → DM with your link
A follower comments a keyword on a post; they receive a direct message with your price list or booking link.
Step 1 of 4 · Trigger
Comment with keyword
A follower comments your chosen keyword (for example “PRICE”) on a post or reel.
What you set up
Pick one short keyword and put it in the post caption: “Comment PRICE and we’ll send details.”
Watch for
Comments with typos or emoji do not match unless you allow variations.
Setup steps
Choose a keyword and a post
Start with one post that already gets questions. One keyword is easier to maintain than five.
Prepare the destination
Make sure the page the DM links to loads fast on mobile and says what happens next.
Build the flow in Manychat
Create a comment-triggered automation, select the post, add the keyword, and write the DM with one button.
Add a human fallback
Include a line like “Reply here if you have a question and a person will answer.” and make sure someone checks the inbox.
Test with a second account
Comment from an account that is not an admin. Check the public reply, the DM and the link.
Review after a week
Count comments, DMs delivered and bookings. Adjust the keyword and message from real behaviour.
Test it before you rely on it
- Comment from a non-admin account and confirm the DM arrives.
- Comment in lowercase, uppercase and with an emoji.
- Open the link on a phone with cellular data.
- Reply to the DM and confirm a person sees it.
Caveats
- Meta and Manychat rules for automated messages change. Check their current documentation before you launch.
- We do not provide an importable template for this flow. Manychat builds flows in its own interface, and any export would depend on your account.
- Do not collect personal data you do not need.
