Build your first comment-to-DM flow

A comment-to-DM flow is the classic Instagram automation: someone comments a keyword on your post, and LoopFuel automatically sends them a DM. You can build one in about five minutes.

Build it step by step

1. Open Flows and click New flow.
2. Add a trigger and choose Comment. Pick the post to watch, or apply it to all posts.
3. Set the keyword that fires the flow, for example LINK or GUIDE.
4. Add a Send message step. Write the DM the commenter should receive, and include your link or offer.
5. Optional: add a Follow gate step before the link so people follow you before they unlock it.
6. Click Publish. Your flow is now live.

Test it

From a different Instagram account, comment your keyword on the post. Within moments you should receive the DM. You can watch results build up in your analytics.
