How Smart Creators Are Using “DM [Keyword]” to Automate Growth & Sales

If you’ve ever seen a content creator say “DM me the word ‘START’” or “Comment ‘FREE GUIDE’ below”—what you’re witnessing is AI-powered automation in action.

It’s not just a trend—it’s a strategic system.

With tools like chatfunnels and AI automation, creators are turning their DMs into lead-generation machines. Here’s how it works:

A follower sends a specific keyword like “INFO”
An automated workflow is triggered instantly
The user receives a personalized message, resource, or link
The creator builds a qualified lead list without lifting a finger

Why it works:

People want fast, personalized responses—and automation delivers that 24/7. It saves time, increases conversions, and builds a deeper connection with your audience.

If you’re a creator, coach, or entrepreneur still manually replying to DMs, you’re missing out on scalability.
