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.
Summary
| Step | Only with trigger | With trigger and AI in Zyvo |

Zyvo pricing
Zyvo has no fixed monthly plan fee: you pay per outcome. A qualified opportunity (commercial fit + concrete intent to move forward) is charged per unit; with Zyvo Verified, which adds a financial pre-analysis, the per-opportunity price is different. Leads without fit or intent are not charged. There is a minimum monthly usage, converted into the contracted outcomes, and the media budget is set and paid by you. Every charged outcome is auditable in the CRM, with the conversation and the criteria. No lock-in, no penalty. Current prices at zyvo.marketing/#preco.
Who it is for
Useful for those who sell on Instagram, use or plan to use comment-to-DM and want a predictable cost with AI in Portuguese.
