Can I copy these Instagram DM templates without signing up?

Yes. The captions, public replies and private messages on this page are free to read and copy. Replace the bracketed placeholders before using them. Activating an automated campaign requires an account and a connected Instagram professional account.

How does a comment trigger the private DM?

Host your resource at a public link, connect your Instagram professional account, and create a campaign for the relevant post or Reel. Set MENU as the keyword and add the resource link to your DM. Review and activate the campaign, then test from another account. This delivers a link, not a native PDF attachment.

Does copying a template automatically send messages?

No. Copying only puts the example text on your clipboard. You decide where to use it. In SwayCue, review the keyword, post, message and destination link before activating the campaign.

Copy your caption and DM messages

Choose one offer for each campaign. Replace bracketed placeholders with real details and URLs. The public reply is optional; the private DM should deliver exactly what your caption promises.

Restaurant Menu And Reservation

Keyword: MENU

Reel caption CTA

Comment MENU and I’ll DM you our menu and reservation link.

Optional public reply

I’ve sent the details to your DMs. Check message requests if you don’t see them.

Private DM

Hey [INSTAGRAM_HANDLE], here is our menu and reservation link: [YOUR_LINK]

Replace [YOUR_LINK] and [INSTAGRAM_HANDLE] before sending. Use a supported account variable in your automation, or omit the greeting.

Set up the campaign

Use a high-appetite food reel with a clear comment prompt.
Send a mobile-friendly menu or booking page.
Mention limited seating only when it is true.
Repeat the template for seasonal specials.

In SwayCue, open Campaigns and create a campaign. Choose the post or Reel, enter the matching keyword, and add your message and destination link. Review the settings before activating. An optional follow requirement adds a step before delivery.

Use the free PDF delivery walkthrough for the full link-hosting and campaign setup. For a different offer, build a campaign prompt.

Measure the next step, not just the comment

Turn food reels into reservations and menu views. Record the resource requests, successful deliveries and actual enquiries or registrations from your destination page. A sent message or link click alone does not establish a download, booked call or sale.
