Connect an eligible Instagram professional account through Meta’s official authorization flow, then create automations for comments and inbound DM keywords. MagicDM can send configured replies and private messages, capture leads, and help you understand what happened after each interaction. WHAT YOU CAN DO β€’ Build comment-to-DM and keyword-triggered automations β€’ Choose posts, keywords, replies, opening messages, follow-up steps, media, and buttons β€’ Review your dashboard, campaign activity, message delivery, clicks, and conversion signals β€’ Manage conversations, contacts, and leads in one place β€’ Create and share trackable Smart Links β€’ Export contact data when needed β€’ Use AI-assisted message variations while keeping final control over what gets published β€’ Switch between supported Instagram accounts and workspaces based on your plan BUILT FOR RELIABLE, HUMAN COMMUNICATION MagicDM uses official Meta platform capabilities. It is not a tool for scraping, auto-following, auto-liking, or sending unsolicited mass cold DMs. You choose the triggers, content, and rules before an automation is published. Safety controls help reduce duplicate or unwanted sends. MOBILE-FIRST CONTROL Monitor performance, manage automations, review inbox conversations, export leads, and update settings from your iPhone. The app uses MagicDM’s shared production service so your workspace stays consistent across mobile and web. PRIVACY AND CONTROL We do not sell your personal information or your audience’s data. You can disconnect Instagram, delete automations, export data, and request account deletion. See our Privacy Policy and Terms in the app or at magicdm.app. A MagicDM account and an eligible Instagram professional account are required for Instagram automation features. Feature availability and usage limits may depend on your plan and Meta platform eligibility.
