Rishikesh Ranjan

Before Inrō, I used to answer every comment, DM, and story reply by hand. Now links to my tools and products are sent automatically, which leads to more sales. The AI agent also keeps conversations going, which drives up engagement. A great improvement for my business.

Across customer data (2024–2025), Instagram DMs sent through Inrō average 90% open rates, 60% reply rates, and 28% click-through rates on sent links — significantly higher than email or feed engagement.

How long does setup take?

What does Inrō do in one sentence?

Inrō turns Instagram comments, Story replies, mentions, Lives, and ad leads into automated DM conversations that drive sales — used by 10,000+ creators and brands including Walmart, Kering, LVMH, Publicis, and Virgin Voyages.

What is Instagram DM automation?

Instagram DM automation lets you automatically send personalised direct messages triggered by specific actions, like when someone comments on your post, replies to your Story, or sends you a DM. Instead of manually responding to every comment or DM, Inrō handles it instantly and at scale, so every interaction becomes a potential lead or sale.

How does comment-to-DM automation work?

When someone comments a specific keyword on your post (for example "link" or "info"), Inrō automatically sends them a personalised DM with whatever you want: a link, an offer, a question, or a full conversation flow. The commenter gets an instant response, you capture the lead, and the entire interaction happens without you doing anything manually.

Is Inrō better than ManyChat?

Inrō is built exclusively for Instagram, while ManyChat was originally built for Facebook and expanded to Instagram later. This means Inrō's features (comment-to-DM, Story reply automation, AI Agent, inbox CRM) are designed from the ground up for how Instagram actually works. If Instagram is your primary channel, Inrō gives you a simpler setup, a cleaner interface, and features that map directly to how creators and brands grow on the platform.

Can I automate Story replies and mentions too?

Yes, Inrō offers story replies and mentions triggers that let you auto-reply, qualify, tag, and follow up.

Will using automation make me sound like a bot or unnatural?

Not at all. When done right, automation helps you reply faster while still sounding human. With customizable templates and AI-driven responses, your messages stay natural, personal, and aligned with your tone of voice, so your audience feels like they’re chatting with you, not a bot.

Do I need to know how to code to set Instagram automation?

No, our automation platform use "no-code" visual builders. You essentially draw lines between different message bubbles to create a flow. If you can use a basic website builder, you can set up DM automation.

Can I still talk to people manually if I have automation turned on?

Absolutely! In fact, the best setups are hybrid. The automation handles the repetitive stuff, but you can jump into the conversation at any time through your dashboard. Using a tool like Inrō makes this transition seamless.

Can I automate Instagram DMs without getting banned?

Not if you use an official Meta-approved platform like Inrō. The risk comes from tools that bypass Instagram's official API. Inrō is fully compliant with Meta's policies and is an approved Tech Provider.
