Instagram Comment Automation Checklist

Launch Instagram comment-to-DM automation with a free checklist covering account setup, keyword tests, message delivery, mobile links and weekly reviews.

Before you build

  1. 1Define the exact resource, answer, or next step the commenter will receive.
  2. 2Confirm the destination works on a phone and uses HTTPS.
  3. 3Choose one short keyword that is easy to spell and hard to trigger accidentally.
  4. 4Write a caption that states both the keyword and what the person will receive.

Inside AP3K

  1. 1Confirm the correct Instagram Business or Creator account is selected.
  2. 2Choose the intended post, Reel, or account-wide scope.
  3. 3Match the configured keyword to the caption exactly.
  4. 4Enable only the public reply and DM actions the campaign actually needs.
  5. 5Check every message, link, button label, and optional follow request.

Real launch test

  1. 1Comment from a second Instagram account after the automation is active.
  2. 2Confirm the public reply appears only when enabled.
  3. 3Check the inbox and message requests for the DM.
  4. 4Open every link inside Instagram’s in-app browser.
  5. 5Leave an unrelated comment and confirm a keyword campaign ignores it.

Weekly review

  1. 1Check Instagram connection health and any failed actions.
  2. 2Compare comments, trigger matches, sent actions, destination visits, and final outcomes separately.
  3. 3Repair stale links, outdated prices, unavailable products, and expired booking pages.
  4. 4Improve campaigns with weak outcomes before creating more overlapping automations.
