Ava · Auto replies

Instagram and Messenger auto replies, written in your tone.

Ava replies to the DMs and comments on your Instagram and Facebook accounts, even at 11 pm: opening hours, delivery, prices, availability. She relies on what you told her about your business, and leaves you what she doesn't know.

In short

What is an Instagram chatbot?

An Instagram chatbot is a program that automatically replies to an account's DMs and comments. Classic chatbots follow a fixed script (buttons, keywords, canned answers); an AI chatbot reads the question, understands it and writes a fitting reply, based on the information the business gave it.

Ava, in Dropapost, does both: she writes her replies from your business description and your instructions, and sends your prepared reply word for word when someone writes one of your campaign keywords. She replies on Instagram and Facebook (Messenger), in the language of the message.

  1. 1

    Turn Ava on

    One switch to let her reply, then two more: DMs, comments. Potential customer detection sits right next to them.

  2. 2

    Describe your business and pick a tone

    What you sell, your hours, your area, what she must never say. Professional, friendly or casual tone, and the message's language or a fixed one.

  3. 3

    Prepare your keywords

    "PRICE", "INFO", "AVAILABLE": for each word, the exact reply. When someone writes it, Ava sends your text as is, link included.

  4. 4

    Review the history

    Every reply sent is listed with the original message. What Ava chose not to handle is there too, with the reason, so you can take over.

What Ava does

An AI chatbot for Instagram, not an answering machine.

Replies start from what you wrote in her settings. That's what makes them accurate, and careful.

Automatic DM replies, day and night

A customer asks for your hours at 10 pm: the reply goes out within minutes, in your tone and in their language. They don't wait until tomorrow, and you don't reply from your sofa.

Your rules, not hers

Business description, instructions ("never give prices", "send people to the website"), language and maximum replies per day: Ava stays inside that frame.

  • What she doesn't know, she leaves to you

    A complaint, a question outside your business: Ava doesn't make it up. The message stays marked To handle for you.

  • Insults and spam ignored

    An abusive message, a scam or an attempt to trick the AI gets no reply, even if it contains one of your keywords.

  • She steps back when you speak

    On a comment you've already replied to, Ava stays out. You take over a conversation whenever you want.

  • Potential customers flagged

    With detection on, Ava lets you know when someone asks for a price, a quote or availability.

Examples

Auto reply examples for Instagram and Facebook.

Four replies like the ones Ava sends, for an imaginary knitwear workshop. Keep the structure: answer the question asked, give the exact information, suggest the next step.

Opening hours

Are you open on Sunday?
Ava

Hi! Yes, the workshop is open on Sundays from 10 am to 1 pm. Come and try on the new collection.

The exact information, taken from the business description, and a reason to come.

Delivery

Do you ship to Belgium?
Ava

Hi Ines! Yes, we ship to Belgium. Costs and delivery times are shown at checkout on our website.

A short reply that points to the source of truth rather than a made-up figure.

Keyword "PRICE"

PRICE
Ava

Here are our prices: atelier-maille.com/prices. Happy to help with any question!

The prepared text, sent word for word: the link can't get mangled.

Complaint

My order still hasn't arrived, this is unacceptable.
Ava

No automatic reply: the message stays To handle for you.

An unhappy customer deserves a real person. Ava doesn't try to handle a conflict.

Who it's for

For people who always get the same questions.

Hours, address, prices, delivery: most messages look alike. Ava takes them, you keep the others.

  • Shops and restaurants

    "Are you open on Sundays?" and "Do you deliver?" get their answer during the rush.

  • Trades and local services

    "Which area do you cover?" gets its answer, and the quote request is flagged to you.

  • Salons, wellness and coaching

    Prices and slots answered in the evening; booking stays with you.

  • E-commerce

    Delivery times, returns, sizes: recurring questions handled at any hour.

  • Agencies and freelancers

    Settings per client brand, with each one's tone and description.

  • Non-profits and creators

    Practical questions from members and followers handled without tying up a volunteer.
