Viral Reels bring more comments than you can answer
Reels reach far beyond your followers. Without automation, most of that interest fades in the comments.
- Replies come too lateBy the time you answer, the viewer has scrolled on.
- Buried buying signalsQuestions about price and availability get lost among emojis and tags.
- The same answer, over and overYour team pastes the same link under every comment.
- Lost audience feedbackRequests and ideas stay scattered across comments, not in one place.
What is Instagram Reels auto-reply?
Instagram Reels auto-reply is an automation that answers comments on your Reels for you. When someone comments, Chatfuel can reply under the comment and send a DM with the link, offer, or answer they asked for.
You choose which Reels to automate and what starts the flow: a keyword like “GUIDE” or “PRICE”, or any comment. From there, the DM can answer questions, capture lead details, and hand the conversation to your team.
