Instagram auto-reply for comments & DMs

Your Instagram, answering for itself

Comments, direct messages and the buttons in between — handled the second they happen, in the words you wrote, whether or not you are holding the phone.

One evening, two endings

The same night, twice

Four things that happen on an ordinary evening on Instagram — and where each one ends up.

9:14 pm
A Reel takes off and sixty people comment “price”.
On your own: You answer the first dozen. The rest scroll on to someone else.
With Speedy Text: Every one gets a public reply and the link in their DMs, seconds after they comment.
11:40 pm
Someone asks whether you have the black one in stock.
On your own: You see it at breakfast. They ordered elsewhere at midnight.
With Speedy Text: It answers from your real catalogue, with the real price and a way to order.
1:05 am
A client wants a session on Thursday.
On your own: The question waits until you wake up — and so do they.
With Speedy Text: They pick a free slot from your own Google Calendar, and it's booked.
3:30 am
A question you never wrote an answer for.
On your own: Silence — or a bot that makes something up.
With Speedy Text: It says it'll check, hands it to you, and your answer joins your notes for next time.
What it does

Three places it does the work

All three run on the same rules, so an answer you write once is an answer everywhere.

01

Comments on your posts

Someone comments your keyword and gets a public reply under the comment and your link in their inbox — within seconds, on every post, for as long as the post lives.

02

Direct messages

A message gets a greeting and a menu immediately. The everyday questions are answered from what you wrote, and anything else is passed to you with the conversation so far.

03

Buttons and follow-ups

The DM can carry buttons rather than pasted links, and can ask for a follow before it hands the link over — so the reach becomes an audience.

The same tool on three very different Instagram days. Every film is a screen recording, not a mock-up.

Rule matchedkeyword “order”

Someone asks how to order, right under your post.

Online stores

From “how do I order?” to your store, in one tap

A customer asks under your post. The public reply tells everyone reading that questions get answered here, and the link is already waiting in their DMs.

  • Your keyword on every post, or on one post only
  • The link arrives as a button, not a pasted URL
  • Connect Shopify or EasyOrders and it answers with your real prices
For online stores
In order

What happens between the comment and the sale

The whole run, from someone typing a word to your link being open on their screen.

  • Someone comments the keyword you chose — a word, an emoji, or even a bare punctuation mark, all on one rule.
  • Speedy Text replies under the comment publicly, so the rest of the thread sees that questions get answered here.
  • The same person gets a direct message with your reply and your link, or a button that opens it in one tap.
  • If you turned on the follow-gate, the link arrives after they follow — asked once, in your words, and repeated in Arabic if they don't.
  • If they reply and the rules don't cover it, the conversation lands with you, marked, instead of being guessed at.
How this app works

What Instagram lets an app do, and what it does not

These are Instagram's rules, not settings we chose. They are the reason the order above is what it is, and they are worth knowing before you connect rather than after.

A comment is what opens the door
An app cannot message an Instagram user out of nowhere. Somebody has to write to you first — and a comment on your post counts. That is why the reply under the comment and the DM are one action rather than two: the comment is what earns the right to send the DM.
One private reply per comment
Instagram allows a single private reply to any given comment. If the same person comments five times on the same post they still get one DM, which is also the behaviour you want — five identical messages reads as a malfunction, not a service.
The conversation stays open for 24 hours
From their last message to you. Inside that window you can answer freely; once it closes, the next move is theirs. Everything here answers people, so this window is the whole world it lives in — nothing is ever sent to somebody who has gone quiet.
Professional accounts only
Business or Creator, and linked to a Facebook Page. A personal Instagram account has no messaging API at all — switching over is free and takes a minute in the Instagram app itself.
The difference

It knows what you sell

An auto-reply sends the same message to everyone. Speedy Text answers the question the person actually asked — from your catalogue, your calendar and your own notes.

ShopifyEasyOrdersGoogle Calendar
  1. 1

    Real prices, or none

    It quotes what is in your store today. A reply containing a figure you never wrote is thrown away before anyone sees it.

  2. 2

    A cart, inside the chat

    They say what they want; it adds it, reads the order back to them and sends them to checkout.

  3. 3

    Your real calendar

    Bookings read your Google Calendar's free time, so it never offers an hour you're already busy.

  4. 4

    Your words, in their language

    It answers from what you wrote, in the language the customer wrote in.

Safe by design

Built for the account you worked to grow

Instagram's official API

The route Meta built for business tools. Nothing logs in as you, and no phone sits somewhere tapping out replies.

Never your password

You approve access on Meta's own screen, and you can take it back there whenever you like.

Every reply on the record

Each comment, reply and DM is in your activity log, with the minute it went out.

Off in one click

Pause a rule or disconnect the account from your dashboard. Nothing keeps running behind your back.

Before you connect

What Instagram asks for first

Meta's requirements, not ours
  • A business or creator account — a personal one cannot receive the notifications any of this relies on. Switching is free and takes a minute in the Instagram app.
  • A Facebook Page connected to that account. That is Meta's rule; connect the Page and we find the Instagram account attached to it.
  • You approve the permissions on Meta's own screen. We never see or ask for your password, and you can revoke it from either side at any moment.

The comment-to-DM job on its own, in detail — the rules, the keywords and what the reader sees.

Questions

What people ask before connecting

Straight answers to the questions that usually decide it.

Can Instagram restrict my account for using this?

Speedy Text works through Instagram's official API — the one Meta built for business tools — and stays inside its rules: one private reply per comment, and messages only within the 24-hour window. It never logs in as you.

Do I have to give you my password?

No. You connect through Meta's own login screen and approve the permissions there. We never see your password, and you can remove access from Instagram's settings or from ours.

Will it sound like a bot?

The words are yours. You write the comment replies and the DMs, and the AI answers from your own notes. Your followers hear you, not a template.

What happens when it doesn't know the answer?

It doesn't guess. It tells the customer it will check, passes the conversation to you, and the answer you give is added to your notes — so the next person gets it straight away.

Does it work on Reels?

Yes. Comments on a Reel arrive exactly like comments on a post, so one rule covers both.

Do people have to follow me to get the link?

Only if you want them to. The follow-gate is a switch on each rule; leave it off and the link goes straight out.

What should go in my bio link?

Your Speedy Text link-in-bio page, if you like. Its “Message us on Instagram” button opens a DM with you, where your rules take over — and it can sit beside WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger and email buttons, products from your store, your social icons and your own links. It's on every plan.

I already use ManyChat. Can I switch?

Yes. Contacts → Import brings your ManyChat tags, custom fields and automation names across with your API key — each automation as a template to finish here — and your contacts from ManyChat's own export. Connect your Instagram, finish the templates, then switch the old automations off, so the two don't race to answer the same comment.

Does it reply in Arabic?

The AI answers in the language the customer wrote in — Arabic, English, French, Spanish and more — from notes you wrote once. Rules reach them in their language too — Arabic, English or Spanish — with your prices and links exactly as you wrote them.
