How to Turn Facebook Comments into Private Messages (Comment-to-DM)

When someone comments on your post, they are interested right now. With Comment-to-DM, TeleWhats sends them a private message in Messenger as soon as they comment a keyword you choose, like “PRICE”, “INFO” or a product code. It works on regular posts and on live videos.

What you need

  • Your Facebook Page connected to TeleWhats. See how to connect your Page.
  • A post or live video where you ask people to comment a keyword.

Set up Comment-to-DM

  1. Sign in to TeleWhats and open the Facebook Comment DM page from the Facebook section of the left menu.
  2. Create a new comment bot and choose your Facebook Page.
  3. Choose where it should work: on all posts, on a specific post, or on your live videos.
  4. Add your keywords. Add a few spellings people might use, for example PRICE, price and the word in your own language.
  5. Write the private message. Keep it short and helpful: say thanks, give the link or the offer, and ask one simple question.
  6. If you like, add a short public reply under the comment, such as “Sent you a message!” so others know to check their inbox too.
  7. Save and switch the bot on.

Test it

  1. From a personal Facebook account (not the Page admin account), comment your keyword on the post.
  2. Check Messenger on that account. The private message should arrive within a few seconds.
  3. Open your TeleWhats Inbox. You will see the comment and the conversation there.

Tips that bring more replies

  • Say the keyword clearly in your post and on screen during a live, for example “Comment PRICE and we’ll send you the details”.
  • Facebook allows one private reply per comment. If someone comments twice, only the first comment gets a message.
  • Continue the chat from your Inbox or let your AI assistant answer the next questions.
  • Keep the private message useful. People who get a clear answer are more likely to reply and buy.
