DM Automation for Ecommerce Turn Comments Into Sales
When a post takes off, hundreds of “price?” and “link?” comments go unanswered — and unanswered means unsold. DM automation for ecommerce sends an instant DM with the product link, discount code, or checkout the moment someone comments, converting attention into orders 24/7.
What is DM automation for ecommerce?
DM automation for ecommerce is software that turns Instagram engagement into sales automatically. When a shopper comments a keyword like “SHOP” or “PRICE” on your product post or Reel, Reachook sends an instant DM with the product link, a discount code, or a direct checkout link — then logs the shopper in a CRM. Instead of manually answering every “how much?”, stores capture buying intent in seconds, 24/7, on the official Meta API.

Frequently asked questions
How does DM automation drive ecommerce sales?
DM automation converts Instagram comments into orders. When a shopper comments a keyword like “PRICE” on your product post, Reachook sends an instant DM with the product link, discount code, or checkout URL in seconds — reaching them at peak buying intent — and logs the shopper in a CRM. Instead of leaving “how much?” comments unanswered, your store captures the sale 24/7.
Can the instant DM include a discount code or checkout link?
Yes. You attach a product link, first-order discount code, or direct checkout URL to the automation, and it is delivered inside the instant DM the moment a shopper comments your keyword — turning curiosity into a completed purchase.
Can I run different DM automations for different products?
Yes. You can attach a specific instant DM to each product post or Reel, so every item delivers its own link, price, and offer automatically, or set global keyword rules across your whole store.
What happens if a product post goes viral?
Reachook queues outbound instant DMs and throttles them inside Meta’s official rate limits, so your account stays compliant and every commenter still receives their product link — even if thousands comment within an hour. Your automations never shut off mid-surge.
Can small stores use DM automation for free?
Yes. Reachook’s free plan includes 1 active automation, 1,000 instant DMs per month, and 250 CRM contacts, with no credit card required — enough to turn a viral product post into real orders.
