Want Instagram DMs answered while you sleep?
A template sends the same words to everyone. Evoriqa’s AI agent reads each Instagram direct message and answers it from your own content. It hands over to your team when a person is needed. See the Instagram channel.
Evoriqa is not affiliated with Meta or Instagram. Instagram is a trademark of its owner, named here only to say where the replies go.

How to write an Instagram auto reply
- 01
Pick what the reply is for
Choose a first-message greeting, a story reply, a comment moved to DMs, or a question such as price, hours, booking or shipping. - 02
Choose friendly or professional
Friendly suits most shops and studios. Professional suits clinics, firms and anything that handles money or health. - 03
Add your details
A business name, opening hours and a booking or shop link are all optional. Each template reads well without them, and fills them in when you add them. - 04
Copy it and use it
Send it by hand, or paste it into whichever reply tool your account uses. Change the wording, times or promises to match what your team can keep.

Not verified: setup steps
Instagram and Meta offer reply tools for professional accounts. Their help pages could not be read for this page in October 2026, so we list no menu paths or limits.
Open Instagram’s Help Center and search for saved replies or automated responses. Names and menus change often.
What works anywhere
Whichever tool sends the message, the wording is yours. Copy a template above, check that times and promises match what your team can keep, and paste it in.
Evoriqa answers Instagram direct messages. Public comments stay with you, which is why the comment templates are the message you send once someone moves to DMs.
Frequently asked questions
How do I set up an auto reply on Instagram?
Instagram and Meta offer built-in reply tools for professional accounts, and other tools can connect to your account. We could not read Meta's help pages for this page in October 2026, so no menu path is listed. Search Instagram's Help Center for saved replies or automated responses.
What should an Instagram auto reply say?
Thank the person, say what you can help with, and tell them when to expect an answer. Add one link, such as a booking page, if it saves them a step. Two or three short sentences read best in a chat.
Can I auto reply to Instagram comments?
The templates here are for direct messages. A comment is public, so a reply to it is too. Many accounts answer with a short public line and carry on by DM, and the comment-to-DM templates cover that message. Evoriqa answers direct messages and does not post replies to comments.
Can an AI agent answer my Instagram DMs?
Yes. Evoriqa connects to a professional Instagram account and answers direct messages, including story replies, from your own content. It captures interested buyers as leads and hands a thread to your team when it needs a person.
Is a fixed auto reply or an AI agent better for Instagram?
A fixed message suits a greeting or an after-hours note, because it needs no judgement. It cannot read the question. An AI agent reads it and answers from your prices, hours and stock, so use templates for the first reply and an agent for the follow-ups.
Does the tool save what I type?
No. The replies are written in your browser from the options you pick and the details you type, and nothing is sent or stored. Site analytics records only the template and tone you chose when you copy a reply, never the name, hours or link.
