Quick Answer
How does Instagram Story Automation work?
Instagram Story Automation detects two types of interactions using the official Meta API: (1) when someone mentions your account in their Instagram Story, and (2) when someone replies to your Story. ReplyKaro auto-sends a personalized DM within seconds. It's Meta-verified and uses the official API — starts at just ₹99/mo ($3/mo).
Three Story Triggers
Story Mention Detection
When a fan tags you in their Instagram Story, ReplyKaro detects it instantly and sends a thank-you DM with your link, discount code, or exclusive content. Build loyalty at scale.
Story Reply AutoDM
When someone replies to YOUR Story with a reaction or message, our engine auto-sends a pre-configured DM response — turning casual engagement into meaningful conversations.
Visual Story CTA
Create Story slides that say 'Reply with LINK to get the free PDF'. Our engine detects the keyword in their reply and sends the DM. The highest-converting CTA strategy on Instagram.
What a Story Tag Turns Into
They tag you in their Story. ReplyKaro replies before they even close the app.

FAQ
Story Automation FAQ
What is Instagram Story Automation?
Instagram Story Automation uses the official Meta Graph API to automatically detect when someone mentions you in their Story or replies to your Story, and sends them a personalized DM in response. It's like having a 24/7 social media manager.
Is automating Story replies safe?
Yes. ReplyKaro uses the official Instagram Graph API (Meta-verified). We never access your password or use browser extensions. All automations are fully compliant with Instagram's Terms of Service.
Can I customize the auto-reply for different story triggers?
Yes! You can set different DM responses for Story Mentions vs Story Replies. You can also use keyword detection within Story replies to trigger specific responses.
How fast does the Story automation work?
Our engine detects Story mentions and replies within seconds and sends the auto DM within 1-3 seconds. Your fans get an instant response, even while you sleep.
Does Story Automation work with the ₹99 Starter plan?
Yes! All Story automation features — mention detection, reply automation, and keyword triggers — are included in every plan, including the ₹99/mo ($3/mo) Starter Pack and the Free Forever plan.
What types of Instagram Stories trigger an automated DM?
Two story events trigger automated DMs in ReplyKaro: (1) Story Mentions — when another Instagram user adds your @handle to their own Story. (2) Story Replies — when a viewer reacts to or messages your Story directly. You can also use keyword triggers within story replies (e.g., if someone replies 'BOOK', send a booking link DM).
Can I send different DMs for different story replies?
Yes. You can set keyword triggers within story replies so different words trigger different DMs. For example: reply 'PRICE' → sends pricing DM. Reply 'BOOK' → sends booking link. Reply 'FREE' → sends lead magnet. This turns your Stories into a multi-step sales funnel.
Does Instagram Story Automation work for business accounts and creator accounts?
Yes — both Instagram Business accounts and Instagram Creator accounts support story automation via the official Meta API. You cannot use automation on personal accounts. Switching to Business or Creator (free) takes 30 seconds in Instagram settings.
