Send a DM when someone comments a word

  • Pick one post or Reel, and a word like GUIDE.
  • Or use one word on any recent post.
  • Not posted yet? Pick "My next post". It starts when the post goes out.
  • Reply to the comment in public too, so others see it works.
  • Send a link, a guide or a code.

Answer DMs and story replies

  • Someone DMs you a word. They get your answer.
  • List the questions people ask most. Each word gets its own answer.
  • Set a default reply for anything else.
  • Answer story replies. Thank people who mention you in their story.
  • Follow up an hour later if they go quiet.

Grow your list, not just your likes

  • Ask people to follow you before they get the freebie.
  • Ask for their email, then send the link.
  • Send shop links or coupon codes.

One inbox for every chat

  • Instagram comments and DMs, in one place.
  • Tag people, so you know who asked for what.
  • Step in any time. The bot steps back for 5 minutes, or until you hand it back.
  • Reply as your account, right from sprkly.

Start from a template

  • Pick a ready template. Pick the post or the word. Go live.
  • Run one automation on several accounts. Each gets its own copy.
  • Save a template as a file. Share it, or import one.
  • Or ask your AI agent to set one up for you. See how
