An Instagram auto reply works when it sounds like you on a good day: short, warm, and with the one thing the person asked for. Below are 40 messages you can copy, grouped by situation, with Hinglish versions for Indian audiences. Swap the parts in [brackets].

> **Quick rules before you copy:** auto replies need an Instagram **Professional account** (Business or Creator; Meta charges nothing to switch). You can only DM someone who commented or messaged you first, and a normal DM must go out within **24 hours** of their last message. Keep the first message short and put the link in it, because that's what people commented for.

## Comment-to-DM replies (when someone comments a keyword)

These go out as a DM when someone comments a word like "LINK" or "PRICE" on your post or reel.

1. Hey [name]! Here's the link you asked for: [link]. Tell me how it goes 🙌
2. As promised, here it is 👉 [link]. Any questions, just reply here.
3. Thanks for commenting! Your free [guide / checklist] is here: [link]
4. Here you go: [link]. The [offer] ends on [date], so grab it before then.
5. Got your comment 😊 Tap below for [the recipe / the code / the full video]: [link]

**Hinglish:**

6. Hii [name]! Yeh raha aapka link 👉 [link]. Koi doubt ho toh yahin reply karo.
7. Comment karne ke liye thanks! Aapki free [guide] yahan hai: [link]
8. Lo ji, link aa gaya 🙌 [link]. Offer sirf [date] tak hai.

## Public comment replies (posted under the comment)

A short public reply shows everyone else that the DM really arrives, which gets you more comments.

9. Sent it to your DMs! 📩
10. Check your DMs, [name] 💌
11. Done! Look in your message requests if you don't see it.
12. DM bhej diya hai, check karo 📩
13. Link aapke DM mein hai 🙌

Use a few different ones in rotation. Twenty identical replies in a row look like a bot, and people scroll past them.

## Price questions ("price?", "kitne ka hai?")

14. Hi! [Product] is ₹[price]. You can order here: [link]. Want me to help you pick a size?
15. It's ₹[price] with free delivery above ₹[amount]. Full details: [link]
16. Starts at ₹[price]. All options and photos are here: [link]
17. Price ₹[price] hai, COD available hai. Order yahan se karo: [link]
18. Ji, iska price ₹[price] hai. Saare colours yahan dekh lo: [link]

Answer the price in the first line. People who ask "price?" leave if they have to tap through to find it.

## Welcome and first-message replies

19. Hey, thanks for the message! I read every DM myself, so give me a few hours. Meanwhile, most answers are here: [link]
20. Hi [name]! What can I help you with? Reply 1 for prices, 2 for orders, 3 for something else.
21. Welcome! If you're here for [the course / the shop], start here: [link]
22. Namaste! Message ke liye thanks. Batao, kis cheez mein help chahiye?

## After-hours and away messages

23. Thanks for writing! We're offline right now and reply between [10 am and 7 pm IST]. We'll get back to you first thing.
24. Got your message 🙏 I'm away until [day], and I'll reply as soon as I'm back.
25. Abhi hum offline hain, kal subah [10 baje] tak reply karenge. Tab tak yeh dekh lo: [link]

## Story replies and story mentions

26. Thanks for replying to my story! Here's the link from it: [link]
27. You're quick 😄 Here's what I talked about in the story: [link]
28. Thank you for the mention, [name]! Mind if I share it on my story?
29. Story pe reply ke liye thanks! Link yeh raha: [link]

## Order and support questions

30. Sorry about the trouble! Please send your order number and we'll sort it out today.
31. You can track your order here: [link]. If it's stuck, reply with your order number.
32. Returns are easy: [link]. Send us your order number if you need help.
33. Order number bhejo, hum turant check karte hain 🙏

## Collabs and business enquiries

34. Thanks for reaching out! For collabs, please email [email] with your idea and past work.
35. Love that you want to work together! Send your media kit to [email] and we'll reply within [3 days].
36. Collab ke liye [email] pe mail karo, details ke saath. Hum 2-3 din mein reply karenge.

## Follow-up messages (when they don't open the link)

37. Did the link work for you? Reply here if anything's unclear.
38. Quick reminder: the [offer] ends tonight. Here's the link again: [link]
39. Link mil gaya? Koi problem ho toh batana.
40. Still thinking about [product]? Happy to answer any questions.

A follow-up only goes out if the person wrote back within the last 24 hours, so it works best right after a conversation, not days later.

## How to set these up

**Instagram's own tools** handle simple cases. In the Instagram app (Messages → ⋯ → Tools) you can add up to 4 frequently asked questions with automatic answers, and save replies as typing shortcuts. On desktop, Meta Business Suite → Inbox → Automations has an instant reply, an away message and keyword replies (exact match, sent after 15 minutes if you haven't answered).

**A comment-to-DM tool** like [Blupi](/) is built for the comment case: it replies in seconds, posts a public reply too, and keeps every conversation in one inbox.

1. Connect your Instagram Professional account with "Log in with Instagram" (no password shared).
2. Create an automation: pick a post or reel (or all of them), the keyword ("LINK", "PRICE"), the public reply and the DM.
3. Paste one of the messages above, add your link, and switch it on.

From then on, every matching comment gets a public reply and a DM within seconds, and you see every conversation in one inbox.

## Mistakes that make auto replies feel spammy

- **Long first messages.** Two lines and the link. Details can come after they reply.
- **The same public reply every time.** Rotate 3 to 5 versions.
- **No human fallback.** End with "reply here if…" so real questions reach you.
- **Promising things you can't send.** Instagram only lets you message people who wrote to you, so "I'll DM all my followers" isn't possible with any tool.

## Questions

### Can I set an auto reply on a personal Instagram account?

No. Instagram's own auto replies and every tool on the official API need a Professional account (Business or Creator). You can switch in Instagram's settings, Meta charges nothing for it, and you can switch back anytime. More in [auto reply on a personal account](/blog/instagram-auto-reply-personal-account).

### How fast does the auto reply go out?

With a comment-to-DM tool on Instagram's official API, usually within a few seconds of the comment.

### Can I put a link in an Instagram auto reply?

Yes. Put the link in the message, or on a button: tapping it opens the page inside Instagram. That's why "comment LINK and I'll DM it to you" beats "link in bio". See [how to send a link in an Instagram DM](/blog/send-link-in-instagram-dm).

### Will Instagram ban me for auto replies?

Meta documents automated messaging on its official API, with rules: reply only to people who wrote first and stay inside the 24-hour window. Instagram's terms ban automated access without its permission and sharing your password with third-party apps, so password-based bots are the ones that get accounts restricted.
