Instagram Story to DM. Instantly.
Every story reply, reaction, or mention gets an automated DM with your message and link — the moment it happens.
1. They react
A follower replies to your story or reacts with an emoji.
2. They get a DM
ReplyChat sends your automated reply with the link or offer.
3. They tap
Every click is tracked in your ReplyChat analytics.
Stories are the most personal touchpoint
Replying to a story is a one-on-one gesture. The person saw your content, reacted to it, and is now one tap away from your DMs. Most creators never answer these reactions — there are simply too many.
ReplyChat answers every single one, instantly, with a message you wrote once. A warm "thanks for watching — here's 10% off" with your link turns passive story viewers into active shoppers, and story mentions into word-of-mouth machines.

Frequently asked questions
How does Instagram story-to-DM automation work?
When someone reacts to your story, replies to it, or mentions you in their own story, ReplyChat receives the event through the official Instagram API and instantly sends them an automated DM with your chosen message and link.
What story interactions can trigger a DM?
Story replies (text responses), emoji reactions, and story mentions — when another account mentions @you in their story, ReplyChat can send them a thank-you DM with your offer or link.
Why automate story replies?
Story interactions are personal — someone took an extra step beyond liking. Replying instantly with a relevant message and link turns a passive reaction into a conversation and, very often, a click and a sale.
Can I combine this with comment automations?
Yes. Story triggers and comment triggers run side by side. Many creators use comments for link delivery and stories for relationship-building DMs.
