They comment a word.
You send the DM.
Someone comments "LINK" on your post or reel and Waveloop instantly slides into their DMs with your link, lead magnet, or next step. It runs 24/7 on Meta's official Instagram API, so a viral reel keeps converting while you sleep.

Questions, answered
Does it work on both posts and reels?+
Yes. Comment-to-DM fires on comments left on regular posts, carousels, and reels alike. You can point an automation at a specific piece of content or have it apply going forward.
Is this safe for my account?+
Completely. Waveloop is a Meta-approved Instagram partner since 2025 and runs entirely on Meta's official Instagram Graph API. We never touch your password, never use browser automation, and never scrape. DMs go out at a conservative, human-like pace with no fixed daily quota.
How fast does the DM go out?+
In real time โ usually within seconds of the comment. Sending respects Meta's 24-hour messaging window, and public comment replies respect the 7-day comment-reply window.
Which parts are free?+
Comment-to-DM, buttons in the DM, and the follow gate are all available on the free Hobby plan (โน0 forever). Email and lead capture is a Creator and Business feature. Paid plans include a 7-day free trial with no credit card required.
Can I reply to the comment publicly too?+
Yes. Alongside the DM, Waveloop can post a public reply to the comment โ great for nudging other viewers to comment the keyword and get their own DM.
Your next viral reel
should sell itself.
Set up Comment-to-DM in minutes and let every keyword comment become a DM, a follower, and a lead โ 24/7.
