The comment-to-DM trigger became popular with ManyChat, but you don’t need to rely only on it. You can automate this bridge and also take the conversation to WhatsApp with AI in Portuguese. See how.
What this trigger does
When someone comments a combined word on a post (for example, "quero" or "preco"), the tool automatically sends a message in Direct, starting the conversation instantly. This captures interest at its peak, without relying on someone seeing the comment and replying manually.
Why not depend on a single tool
ManyChat is excellent at this, but charges in dollars per active contact, and a viral post can inflate the bill. Moreover, starting the DM is only half the journey: without someone to continue the conversation, the prospect cools down. The ideal is to connect the trigger to a service that converts.
Taking the conversation to WhatsApp with AI
In Zyvo, the comment becomes a DM automatically and a Portuguese AI agent takes over from there, answering questions and guiding the prospect to the purchase or to WhatsApp, where Brazilians prefer to resolve. All with a fixed price in reais, without charging per contact.
Measuring what works
With content, automation, and service in the same dashboard, you can see which posts generate more DMs and sales and adjust. Thus the trigger stops being an isolated trick and becomes part of a measurable funnel.
