What is Instagram comment automation?
Instagram comment automation uses triggers and conversational flows to respond to content engagement.
With Chatfuel, a comment or keyword can start a DM to share information, answer questions, capture lead details, qualify interest, or involve your team.

|---|---|---|
| First response | When the team is available | Immediate, based on the trigger |
| Lead handling | Review comments one by one | Structured Instagram DM flow |
