## What it is
OpenReply is a self-hosted, open-source alternative to ManyChat for Instagram comment-to-DM automation. It watches post comments via Meta's official API, matches keywords, and sends automated private replies with tracked links, plus account analytics.

## Use cases
- automatically DM users who comment a keyword on my Instagram reel
- replace ManyChat without paying a subscription
- send tracked links to commenters and measure click-through rates
- require users to follow my account before receiving a link
- trigger DMs from story replies with keyword matching
- track Instagram account analytics like views, reach, and follower growth
- self-host Instagram automation with my own Meta app credentials

## When to choose
- you want comment-to-DM automation without recurring subscription fees
- you need a self-hosted solution using only Meta's official API (no scraping or password sharing)
- you want full control over your automation infrastructure and data
- you need tracked links and click analytics for DM campaigns

## When to avoid
- you want a hosted, zero-setup service with no deployment work
- you need automation for platforms other than Instagram
- you cannot create and maintain your own Meta developer app and webhook domain
- you need multi-seat team features or enterprise support
