Creators and course sellers often promise a guide in a caption, then spend the evening copying links. A comment-to-DM workflow can deliver that promised resource after an eligible new comment. Start with one post and one destination so you can check the experience before expanding.
Choose the resource and keyword
Publish a post that explains the resource and asks people to comment a clear word, such as GUIDE. In AP3K, connect an Instagram professional account, create a comment automation, select the post or Reel, and enter the matching keyword. Use Any Comment only when every eligible commenter should receive the same follow-up.
Write the reply and automatic link
Enable a public reply if you want to acknowledge the request under the post. Enable the DM and add a short message, a descriptive button label, and the full HTTPS destination. An opening message and follow request are optional. Check the Post, Comments, and DM previews before publishing.
Test free automation with a real request
The AP3K Free plan includes 500 automated actions per month, one Instagram account and up to five active automations. A successful public reply and a successful DM count as two actions, so 500 actions can cover 250 such pairs. AI replies are not included. Check Billing for your actual remaining allowance.
Validate delivery before scaling
Comment from another Instagram account after activation. Check both the public response and the recipient inbox, then open the link on a phone. If nothing arrives, inspect the selected post, keyword match, connection and remaining usage. Existing comments are not a reliable retest; use a fresh eligible comment.
Turn the next comment into a conversation.
Choose a clear trigger, write a useful response and try your first AP3K campaign.
