BuzzWire replies to every match automatically, and you can preview each DM on an iPhone first. Read the setup guide →
Can I send a DM automatically when someone comments on my post?

Can BuzzWire send a DM to new followers?
No. Instagram’s rules only let tools message people who contacted you first, by commenting, sending a DM or replying to your story. To grow followers, use Follow Gate (Pro): people who comment are asked to follow before they get your link, and the link always arrives.
Do I need a Facebook Page?
No. You connect with Instagram Login, using an Instagram professional account (Business or Creator). BuzzWire never sees your password.

The Free plan is $0 forever. Pro is $9.99 a month, or $79 a year ($6.58/mo) at the Founding Member price. Pro adds Follow Gate, Follow Nudge, In-DM lead capture with CSV export and image-card DMs, and removes the BuzzWire line from your DMs. You pay for features, never per message or per contact. Compare plans →
How is BuzzWire different from ManyChat?

Instagram DM automation, explained
