How to Reply to 'Kitne Ka Hai?' Automatically
A kitne ka hai auto reply is a keyword automation that recognises the many ways people ask the price in Hinglish and sends each one a DM with the number and a place to buy, within about a second. Set it once on a reel; the Viralyze app matches "kitne ka hai", "kitna hai", "price?" and the typo versions, replies in the commenter's language, and leaves a public "DM kar diya 💌" so the thread shows you answered.
Why not just reply with the price in the comments?
Because a public price ends the conversation and a DM starts one. In the DM you can give the price, the variants, the delivery time and the checkout page, and the buyer can reply with a question. The comment reply also becomes a thread competitors and bargain hunters read.
There is a second reason: every DM becomes a contact with a source tag, so you know who asked and which reel they came from.
Which spellings should the keyword cover?
Look at your last ten reels and list every form. A typical set for a saree seller in Surat:
- "kitne ka hai", "kitne ka", "kitna hai", "kitna"
- "price", "prize", "rate", "cost"
- "kya price hai", "price btao", "rate batao"
- "₹?" and "💰"
Keywords in Viralyze are not case-sensitive and tolerate typos and emojis, so you do not need every variation, but the Hinglish roots are worth adding explicitly. One automation can hold all of them and send one DM.
What should the DM say?
Give the number first. People who ask the price want the price, not a story. A DM for the saree seller:
"Hi! Ye Banarasi silk saree ₹2,450 ki hai, blouse piece included, Surat se 3-4 din mein delivery. Order yahan karein: (checkout page). Koi sawaal ho toh reply karein."
Viralyze adds slight AI variations so a hundred DMs do not read identical, and the checkout page takes UPI, cards and net banking at 0% platform fee.
How do you set it up, step by step?
1. Switch to an Instagram Business or Creator account if needed. 2. Add the saree as a product so it gets a checkout page. 3. Create an automation on the reel and paste the keyword list above. 4. Write the DM with the price and the page; optionally turn on the follow-gate. 5. Set the public reply to "DM kar diya 💌"; it rotates between variations. 6. Type "Kitne ka h?" into the live tester, confirm the match, set it Live.
To cover every future reel, use the "any post" trigger so a price keyword works account-wide, and then add post-specific automations for items with different prices.
What if the price depends on size or variant?
Send a short price list as a DM. Long messages become a downloadable PDF automatically with open tracking, so a ten-item catalogue arrives neatly and you can see who opened it. Different keywords can also send different replies: "kurti price" sends the kurti list, "saree price" sends the saree list.
The per-automation funnel shows comments, matched, delivered, clicked and signed up. If matched is far below comments, people are asking in a spelling you have not added yet; the comments themselves will tell you which.
Frequently asked questions
**Will it reply to the same person if they ask on two reels?** Yes, once per comment, within Instagram's rule of one private reply per comment inside 7 days.
**Can the reply go out in Hindi script instead of Hinglish?** Yes. Viralyze replies in the commenter's language, English, Hindi or Hinglish, and you can write the DM in Devanagari if you prefer.
**Does the commenter need to follow me first?** Only if you turn on the follow-gate; it nudges politely up to three times before sending the link, and existing followers get it immediately.
