For creators

Reply to every comment, without doing it yourself.

Pick a word — like recipe, link, or price. When someone comments that word on your post, Relay replies to them and sends them a DM with what they asked for. It happens on its own, day and night.

The problem

You can’t reply to everyone by hand

50,000

views on a post

400 people comment “recipe?”. You have time to reply to maybe ten.

"comment LINK"

in your caption

80 people do it. You send the link to five of them, a few days later.

1

person asks your price

That's the person most likely to buy. They never hear back from you.

Examples

Pick a word. Pick a message. That’s it.

You set it up once. After that, Relay handles every comment that has your word in it. It writes a public reply so the comment gets a response, and it sends a DM where the person can tap your link.

Give away a free file

People comment your word and get the free guide in their DMs. Now you have a chat open with them.

commentLINKDM

Send the exact link

No more “it’s in my bio”. Send the blog post, the video, or the sign-up page straight to them.

commentPRICEDM

Answer buyers fast

Your price list, shop link, or booking page — sent the moment someone asks for it.

commentCODEDM

Share a discount

Send your discount or affiliate code privately to everyone who wants it.

commentMEDM

Build a waitlist

“Comment ME for early access” — and the sign-up link actually reaches every person.

commentRECIPEDM

Whatever you make

The recipe, the preset, the workout plan, the template. If someone asks, they get it.

Why it helps

Good for your account, not just your links

Every comment gets a reply

The public reply shows that you answer people. Relay uses a few different wordings so the replies don't all look the same.

The DM is where people click

The link, the code, the next step — sent in a private message, one per person, while your post is still getting views.

It works while you're busy

Filming, sleeping, travelling — the reply and DM still go out a minute or two after the comment.

It follows Instagram's rules

One DM per comment, within the 7 days Instagram allows, and anyone who replies “stop” is never messaged again.

Safe for your real account

You stay in control of your account

  • Relay connects using Instagram's official tools — the same way apps like ManyChat do. It does not log in as you or use a fake login.
  • You sign in on Instagram's own screen. Relay never sees your password.
  • You write every reply and every DM yourself. Relay only decides when to send them.
  • Relay only reads comments that match a word you chose. Disconnect any time and everything is deleted.
Read the privacy policy

You need a Professional account

That means a Business or Creator account. Instagram only lets apps read comments on those, not on a personal account. Switching is free and takes about 30 seconds:

  1. Open Instagram → your profile → the ☰ menu → Settings and privacy
  2. Tap Account type and tools → Switch to professional account
  3. Pick a category, then choose Creator or Business
  4. Keep the account public
