Grow my list from Instagram

Comment a word. Get a DM. You're on the list.

Markit's Auto DM automatically replies to comments, DMs, and story replies — and converts the people who respond into text subscribers you actually own. No manual DMs, no link in bio, no separate site. Set it once and it runs while you sleep.

Why creators use this

• No algorithm, no middleman. Text subscribers are yours — no platform deciding who sees your next post, no inbox to get buried in. Texts have a 98% open rate.
• Higher engagement on your posts. Asking people to comment a keyword drives far more engagement than sending them to a link in bio — which also boosts your reach on that post algorithmically.
• Run multiple promotions at once. Promote your event on one post, your product on another, your newsletter on a third — all simultaneously, without touching your link in bio.
• Catches your highest-intent audience. Someone who comments or DMs is actively interested. Get to them in that moment.
• Fully hands-free. Set it once and every qualifying comment gets a reply and a DM automatically, even while you're sleeping or going viral.
• Every text comes from your number. Subscribers get your messages from a real contact card — not a shortcode. It feels like a personal text, because it is.
• Works for any goal. Drive subscribers to your text list, newsletter, products, or events.

Set it up

Connect your Instagram account, set a keyword trigger, and write your DM. See Auto DM for the full setup guide.

Tips

• Tell people exactly what to do. Put it in the caption: "Comment LINK and I'll DM you." Clear instructions dramatically increase qualifying comments.
• Give before you ask. Open the DM with what they wanted — the signup link feels like a bonus, not a gate.
• Match the keyword to the post. A specific keyword keeps your list full of people who actually want what you're offering.
