Four steps: choose your goal, choose a message, preview what the recipient sees, then create the automation.

1 · Choose your goal
2 · Choose a message

3 · Preview the recipient experience

What your recipient receives

Local preview — nothing is sent

Replaces {{username}} in your template. Blank uses the production fallback “there”.

Rendered message: 118 / 1,000 characters

Saving reserves 30 characters for each username replacement, and checks the message against the tracked link that replaces your destination URL.

Before the link is delivered

  • No destination URL is set, so no link is added to this message.

This preview uses your destination URL as written. Use the optional rehearsal below to simulate sample replies and a follow result locally—nothing is checked on Instagram.

4 · Create the automation

“Use this template” opens Free guide or lead magnet in setup, message and gates included. You add your own destination URL there, on a screen that explains each requirement in plain words.

Auto DM template questions

What should I write in an Instagram auto DM?

Greet the person by name, thank them for commenting, give them exactly what the post promised (the link, code or guide) and end with one clear next step, such as replying with a question. Keep it short and friendly so it reads like a real message.

What are the best keywords for comment-to-DM?

Short, single words that match the offer, such as GUIDE, LINK, PRICE, CODE or BOOK. Put the keyword in the caption and on screen, and use a different word for each offer so you can see which one works.

How long can an Instagram auto DM be?

Poskoo lets you write up to 1,000 characters per DM. Most good auto DMs are only two or three short lines with the link on its own line.
