KEYWORD TRIGGERS

A keyword should start the sale, not end it.

The moment a DM contains a keyword you set — PRICE, DROP, GUIDE — HyperDM fires the reply you wrote instantly, then keeps talking: it reads the follow-up, answers from your live catalog, and closes the sale. Same automation that runs comment-to-DM. On the official Instagram API. No flow to draw.

THE OLD WAY

A keyword bot fires once. Then it's stuck.

Here's the setup every merchant has tried: point a keyword like PRICE at a canned reply with a link, and let it run. It works — for exactly one message. The buyer types back “do you have it in a medium?” and the bot has nothing. It repeats itself, or tells them to “reply with a keyword to continue.” So at the exact second intent is highest, the conversation flatlines — and you find the follow-up hours later, buried in a pile of unread DMs, long after they've gone cold and bought elsewhere.

  • One canned reply, then a wallthe buyer asks a real question and the bot has no answer.
  • “Reply KEYWORD to continue”they have to talk in trigger words instead of plain English.
  • Type “cost” instead of your exact “PRICE” and nothing fires at all.
  • Every follow-up lands back in your inbox, to answer by hand, hours later, after the moment has passed.
HOW IT WORKS

The keyword fires. The agent takes it from there.

You pick the keywords and write the first reply — a link, a lead magnet, a price. HyperDM watches your Instagram DMs on the official Graph API, matches the keyword the instant it lands, and fires that reply in about two seconds. Then it does the part a keyword bot can't: it stays in the thread, reads what they mean, and answers from your real stock and prices until the sale closes or you step in.

01

Match

a DM contains a keyword you set (PRICE, DROP, GUIDE, or your own), even when it's buried inside a full sentence. HyperDM catches it instantly.

02

Fire

the reply you wrote goes out in about two seconds: the link, the guide, the price. Canned, predictable, every single time.

03

Close

the grounded agent picks up the follow-up, answers from your live catalog, drops the checkout link, and hands off to you the moment it needs a human.

WHY IT MATTERS

The keyword is the on-ramp. The sale is the point.

A link is a dead end. A conversation is revenue. Because HyperDM keeps talking after the trigger fires, the same keyword that used to hand out a PDF now answers the sizing question, recovers the cart, and sends the checkout link — while the buyer is still typing, not the next morning. The trigger stays instant and predictable. What follows it finally closes.

A post takes off at night — hundreds DM the same word
01

Instant, day or night

the reply fires in about two seconds, so you catch buying intent at its peak.

02

Grounded after the trigger

every answer is pulled from your catalog: real price, real stock, your return policy. Never a guess.

03

Handles the pile-on

a post takes off and hundreds DM the same word; HyperDM answers every thread in parallel, no backlog.

04

A list you keep

capture each opt-in (logged and consented) and sync it to your email list, so a keyword builds a list you own, not a one-day spike.

KEYWORD BOT VS HYPERDM

Same trigger. A completely different second message.

Any tool can fire the first reply. The difference is what happens when the buyer types back — the exact moment a sale is won or lost. A keyword bot's job ends at the link; HyperDM's is just getting started.

The honest FAQ.

The trigger is the same idea — a keyword fires a reply. What's different is the second message. A keyword bot hands out a link and dead-ends; HyperDM fires that same instant reply, then stays in the thread and answers from your real catalog until the sale closes. The keyword is the on-ramp, not the whole ride.
HyperDM matches the keyword even when it's part of a longer message, so “what's the price on the olive pants?” still fires your PRICE reply. And if there's no keyword at all, the grounded agent just answers the question directly — you're never relying on the buyer to speak in trigger words.
No. The first reply is exactly what you wrote — canned and predictable. Everything after it is grounded in your real catalog: real price, real stock, your own policies. If it isn't in your data, HyperDM won't say it, and it hands off to you the moment a thread needs a human.
Keyword triggers run today on Instagram, through the official Graph API. TikTok and WhatsApp are on the roadmap — WhatsApp will fire keyword replies inside Meta's messaging rules once it's live. We'll say a channel works when it works, not before.
