Darwin AI enables businesses to respond automatically and efficiently on Instagram, both in post comments and direct messages (DMs).

Main Features:

  • Automatic replies to comments: If someone comments with a keyword (e.g., “price”), Darwin automatically replies with a personalized message (like “I sent you a DM”).

  • 24/7 DM support: Darwin detects the customer's intent and responds immediately. If the query is complex, it automatically routes it to a human team member.

  • No missed opportunities: The goal is to avoid losing leads due to slow responses.

Business Benefits

  • Automated conversations without hiring more staff

  • 24/7 availability for customer queries

  • Fast and personalized responses

  • Better experience for your followers

Requirements to activate the channel

To use Darwin with Instagram, you’ll need:

  • An Instagram Business account

  • A Facebook page connected to that account

  • Both accounts properly linked through Meta

How to set it up

  1. Add the Instagram channel from the Darwin panel

  2. Authorize access to the Instagram and Facebook accounts

  3. Create keywords (e.g., “price”, “installments”) that will trigger automatic replies

  4. Define the automatic response message (can be edited in Spanish, English, or Portuguese)

  5. Save and done: Darwin will start replying automatically


🧠 Improved Instagram Comment Monitoring

We’ve launched a major improvement for monitoring comments on Instagram accounts. You can now choose between monitoring all posts or continuing with the previous method of specific posts only.

📌 Specific Posts (previous mode)

With this option, you can:

  • Manually select which posts to monitor

  • Set a keyword per post

  • Define the starting state of the conversation (e.g., a welcome message)

Ideal for one-off actions like giveaways or promotions.

Example:
You have a post with the hashtag #promo and want commenters to receive a message inviting them to participate.

🚀 All Posts (new recommended option)

With this new mode, you can:

  • Set global keywords (like “price” or “question”)

  • Monitor comments across all posts — old and new

  • Automatically detect customer interactions on any post, without selecting them manually

Perfect if your goal is to never miss a comment — especially when managing many posts or running frequent campaigns.

✅ Recommendation

We recommend activating the “all posts” mode to ensure complete coverage. This:

  • Boosts efficiency

  • Reduces manual setup

  • Ensures better customer support

🛠 How to configure it

  1. Go to the Instagram section

  2. Select “all posts”

  3. Define the keywords you want to detect

  4. Set the starting state for the conversation when those words are found

  5. That’s it! Your account will now automatically respond to relevant comments

❗ Limitations to keep in mind

  • You can’t connect the same Instagram account to more than one Darwin agent

  • Currently, it doesn’t reply to story mentions or third-party posts

  • Not enabled for marketing campaigns, but it does detect UTMs like on WhatsApp
