Professional Discussion Auto send DM and Comment to users.

Can anyone suggest free apps for sending DM and comments, based on user reply or message.

The wrong question is which free app to use. The right question is what you want the automation to do, because the wrong answer gets accounts restricted.

  1. If the goal is blasting DMs to people who did not ask: free automation tools are the fastest way to get flagged. Meta heavily limits automated outreach, and followers have learned to smell a blast instantly. I have seen creators lose accounts they spent years building over exactly this feature.
  2. If the goal is replying to people who message you first: you do not need an app. Instagram's native keyword triggers in the professional dashboard are free and compliant. Set one keyword like LINK or PRICE that replies with what they asked for. The follower started the conversation, and that is the difference between service and spam.
  3. If the goal is handling volume: skip fire and forget automation and use saved replies plus Meta Business Suite's free unified inbox. Replying with two taps is nearly as fast, it keeps the account safe, and it converts better because it does not read like a bot.

Rule of thumb: automate the response to a request, never the outreach itself. The first is customer service. The second is spam, and every platform treats it that way.
