Instagram Auto DM for YouTubers: Keywords, DM Scripts and What to Sell

YouTubers post reels to feed the channel, but the comment "link to the full video?" usually goes unanswered while you are editing the next upload. An Instagram auto DM for youtuber accounts replies privately with the video link, the gear list or the course page the moment someone comments a keyword. Viralyze does it with a keyword, a message and a tap, and shows you which reel sent the most people across.

Why do teaser reels lose viewers at the comment stage?

Because Instagram does not let you put a tappable link in a comment, and most viewers will not go hunting in your bio.

A keyword reply fixes that: the viewer comments "VIDEO", the DM lands with a smart link, and you can see the click count per reel on the Viralyze home screen.

Keyword ideas for a YouTube creator

• "VIDEO" on teaser reels. The DM sends the full video as a smart link.
• "GEAR" on behind-the-scenes reels. The DM sends your camera and mic list as a PDF and collects an email.
• "SCRIPT" on reels about how you plan videos. The DM sells your scripting template as a digital download.

Keywords are not case-sensitive and Viralyze copes with typos and emojis, so "vidoe 🙏" still matches. Each keyword can send a different reply from the same reel.

A DM script for a tech or education channel

"Hey! The full 18-minute video on building a budget editing PC is up, link below. If you want the exact parts list with prices I paid in Delhi, reply GEAR and I will send the PDF. Watching till the end helps the channel more than you know."

Long messages become a downloadable PDF automatically, with open tracking, so a parts list with ten items is fine.

Setting it up on upload day

1. Post the reel and open the Viralyze app. 2. Pick the reel, add keywords VIDEO, LINK, FULL. 3. Paste the script and attach the smart link to the YouTube video. 4. Turn on the follow-gate if you want Instagram followers as well as subscribers; it nudges up to three times and sends the link anyway to existing followers. 5. Set auto-pause after 14 days so the DM stops when the video is no longer the latest.

What should a YouTuber sell?

Ad revenue is uneven, so most channels add owned products. The app gives each a checkout at 0% platform fee:

• Digital downloads: presets, thumbnail templates, scripting sheets.
• An online course: "How I grew to 100k" style recorded modules.
• 1:1 sessions: channel audits booked through a service menu, with a "30-minute audit" and a "60-minute strategy call" and an add-on "written report".
• Physical merch, with weekly payouts to your bank.

Every buyer, every GEAR email and every audit booking lands in one contacts list with a source tag, exportable to CSV for your newsletter tool.

Is automated DM allowed for a creator account?

Yes. Viralyze is a Meta Tech Provider built on the official Instagram API. It sends one private reply per comment within 7 days, which is what Instagram allows, and only to people who commented a keyword or replied to a story. You sign in on Meta's screen, the app never sees your password, and nothing is posted to your feed.

Frequently asked questions

**Can I run one automation across all my reels this month?** Yes. Use the "comments on any post" trigger and update the link whenever a new video goes live.

**Will viewers who only comment an emoji get the DM?** Only if that emoji is one of your keywords; set 🔗 as a keyword if you want that.

**Can I see which reel sent the most clicks to YouTube?** Yes. The home screen lists top reels by DMs and each automation has its own click funnel.
