auto-reply-ig

Open source · Self-hosted

Turn Instagram comments into replies and DMs, automatically

When someone comments your keyword, auto-reply-ig replies under the comment and sends them a private message with your link. You host it, you own the data.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Someone comments a keyword

    For example “DRIVE” on your post or reel. Instagram sends the comment to your app.

  2. Step 2

    The app replies in public

    A short reply under the comment, picked at random from your variants so it doesn't look robotic.

  3. Step 3

    And sends a private DM

    Your link or file goes straight to their inbox, with an optional button.
