Is Instagram auto reply against the rules?
No. ReplyKaro uses Meta's official Graph API. Fully compliant with Instagram's ToS. Zero ban risk.
How is auto reply different from a chatbot?
Auto reply is trigger-based and one-way — a keyword fires a pre-written DM. A chatbot is conversational AI that responds dynamically. Auto reply is simpler, faster, and more reliable for lead capture.

Instagram DMs support up to 1,000 characters. Keep auto-replies under 300 characters for best open rates — short opener + link + soft CTA.
Can I include images or links in auto replies?
Links: yes — any URL works. Images: not supported via the official Meta API. Use text + links for fully compliant automation.
How do I write a good auto reply DM?
3-part formula: personalized opener + value (link/offer) + soft CTA. 2–3 sentences max. Example: 'Hey [name]! Here's your free guide: [link]. Reply if you have questions!'
How many auto reply automations can I run at once?
Free plan: 1 active automation. Starter ($3/mo): unlimited simultaneous automations across all posts, Reels, and stories.
Can auto reply detect comments in any language?
Yes — keyword matching works for any language or script: English, Hindi, Hinglish, Tamil, Arabic, Spanish, and more.
