A summary, not legal advice.
WHY IT MATTERS
Comment 'LINK' on a reel and get the link by DM: every tool offering this one feature wants a recurring subscription. OpenReply provides the workflow as MIT software that uses only the official Instagram API with Instagram Login — no scraping, no browser automation, no password. It rate-limits per account under Meta's documented cap of 750 private replies per hour and queues the overflow instead of dropping it, and adds tracked links, a follow gate, Story-reply triggers and a dashboard inbox.
BUILD FROM THIS
- Run comment-to-DM for several client accounts under one workspace with roles, or feed the tracked-link click and CTR data into your own store's campaign analytics.
WHO IT'S FOR
- Small businesses selling on Instagram
- send the link by DM when a comment matches a keyword
- Creators
- deliver links from Story replies, gate them behind a follow
- Small agencies
- run client accounts in separate workspaces with send logs
START IN 5 MINUTES
# git clone https://github.com/diwenne/openreply.git
# cd openreply && npm install && cp .env.example .env # then fill in the values, see docs/setup.md
# docker-compose up -d # starts Postgres and Redis
# npm run db:generate && npm run db:migrate
# npm run dev # web app on http://localhost:3000 · in a second terminal: npm run worker (this sends the DMs)CAVEATS
- MIT licence. Only Instagram Business or Creator accounts can be connected; personal accounts are not supported. Self-hosted only: needs PostgreSQL, Redis, a public HTTPS URL, email delivery for magic-link sign-in (Resend) and an always-on worker process. openreply.diwen.dev is a dashboard demo; signing up there never sends a DM. Instagram connection is either your own Meta app (with review) or the paid sponsor Zernio; hosting costs are separate. Meta's policies, 24-hour messaging window and rate limits still apply.
