Step 1 of 4
Choose where the automation runs
Apply it to a selected Post or Reel, any eligible Post or Reel, or the next one you publish. This keeps a campaign-specific message connected to the right content.
When someone comments on
Turn a public Instagram comment into a useful private conversation. Dealism can send the link, guide, offer, product detail, or booking page someone asked for—automatically and completely free.
Then, when the customer replies with a real question, your Dealism AI Customer Agent can understand the context, qualify their needs, recommend the next step, or bring in a person.

From comment to conversation
Comment-to-DM is an Instagram automation that sends a private message after someone comments on a Post or Reel.
The automation is tied to a specific Post or Reel. You choose which content the campaign runs on, so the message always matches what the customer just saw.
Post or Reel
A viewer leaves a comment with a keyword such as LINK, PRICE, or BOOK. That comment is the signal to start a private reply.
Comment
Dealism posts a public reply confirming the message was sent. This keeps the thread visible and helpful without copying the same response by hand.
Public Reply
The DM delivers what the caption promised—link, guide, offer, product detail, or booking page. Explore how Dealism brings comments, Story replies, incoming DMs, and AI together in its Instagram automation workspace.

Free should mean usable
Dealism Light is built around one idea: a free plan should actually let you run your workflow. Here is how it compares to the typical free tier from comment-to-DM alternatives.
Unlimited
$0 forever
25 / mo
Free tier limits
Dealism Light includes unlimited active contacts and unlimited flow automations. ManyChat Free currently publishes 25 active contacts per month and up to four active basic automations.
That is the short version this feature page needs. For templates, channels, AI capabilities, inboxes, and the wider pricing model, see the dedicated Dealism vs ManyChat comparison. Commercial terms can change, so review the current Dealism pricing and ManyChat pricing before deciding.
Free flow + AI continuation
Sending a link is predictable. What the customer asks next often is not.

The free trigger does not pretend to qualify, advise, or close by itself. Those open-ended tasks belong to the AI Customer Agent. If judgment or personal attention is needed, the conversation can move to a person in Dealism’s shared conversation inbox with the earlier context available.

Security
Yes—when it uses supported Meta authorization, responds to eligible customer actions, and follows Instagram’s messaging rules.
Dealism PTE. LTD. has completed Meta Access Verification and is marked as a verified Tech Provider.

Supported Meta channels connect through official integration paths rather than scraping, browser extensions, or password-based bots.
You approve the requested permissions and choose which eligible accounts and business assets to connect. Dealism does not need your Instagram password.
Automations begin from eligible customer actions, while your team controls Agent knowledge and can take over when needed.
For technical details, review Meta’s Instagram Messaging API documentation, Private Replies documentation, and Meta Platform Terms.
No responsible provider can guarantee that an account will never face a restriction. Account history, message content, recipient behavior, platform enforcement, and how the automation is used still matter.
Questions before you connect
Yes. The Comment-to-DM trigger, preset public reply, and preset private message are included in Dealism’s free automation. Flow automation does not consume AI credits. Advanced AI replies and DealOnca tasks use the allowances described on the pricing page.
Yes. Dealism is a Meta Business Partner. Dealism PTE. LTD. has also completed Meta Access Verification and is marked as a verified Tech Provider, so supported Meta channels connect through Meta’s official authorization and API pathways.

Yes. You can configure supported flows for an eligible Instagram Post or Reel and define the comment condition that starts the private reply.
Dealism supports campaign conditions including specific keywords and broader eligible comment matching. Use a clear keyword when you want to avoid messaging unrelated commenters.
Yes. Use the first private message to deliver the promised link, guide, offer, product detail, or booking page.
The free flow sends the preset first step. Open-ended answers, qualification, recommendations, and ongoing follow-up are AI Customer Agent capabilities and use the relevant AI allowance.
Yes. Your team can take over when someone requests a person, shows strong intent, or reaches a situation that needs human judgment.
One comment is enough to start the right conversation.
Choose the Post or Reel, write the message, test the journey, and switch it on. Comment-to-DM is completely free; add AI when the customer wants to keep talking.
