Instagram DM keyword auto reply: FAQ

 

Can I add more than one keyword?

Yes. You can add up to 10 keywords to one automation.

Can I send messages to people who never messaged me?

No. Instagram only allows replies to people who contacted you first, and Hypee follows that rule.

What if someone asks something else?

Only messages with your keywords trigger a reply, so other chats stay for you to answer yourself.
