What Instagram automation means
Direct Message auto-replies
When a follower sends you a DM — asking about a product, price, or availability — your bot replies instantly, even at 2 AM. Keyword triggers, menu-driven flows, or AI-powered responses.
Story mention responses
When someone tags you in their story, automatically DM them with a thank-you, a discount code, or a product recommendation. Convert organic mentions into revenue.
Comment-to-DM flows
Run a giveaway or promotion where followers comment a keyword. Every commenter automatically gets a DM — capturing them as a lead before they scroll away.
Seamless human handoff
When a conversation needs a human — for negotiations, complaints, or high-value sales — the bot passes it to your team instantly with full chat history visible.

Frequently asked questions
Is Chatwiser an official Instagram / Meta partner?
Yes. Chatwiser is an official Meta Business Partner. This means we access Instagram's API through an approved channel — fully compliant with Meta's policies.
Can the bot reply in Arabic?
Yes. Chatwiser is Arabic-first. You can build flows, set keywords, and write auto-replies entirely in Arabic with full RTL support.
What's the difference between Instagram DM automation and Instagram ads?
Instagram ads drive people to your profile or website. DM automation handles what happens after they message you — capturing leads, answering questions, and moving them toward a purchase. Both work better together.
Does it work with Instagram Reels comments?
Yes. Comment-to-DM flows work across feed posts and Reels. Any follower who comments a trigger keyword gets an automatic DM.
Can I use this alongside WhatsApp automation?
Absolutely. Chatwiser is a multi-channel platform. Manage Instagram DMs, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and web chat from one unified inbox.
