  1. 0:00Hi guys, in this video we are going to
  2. 0:01see how to automate your Instagram DM
  3. 0:03messages using Cloud AI on instant DM
  4. 0:07website. First step you have to get the
  5. 0:09API key from the Cloud website. Login to
  6. 0:11platform.cloud.com.
  7. 0:13Make sure minimum you have $5 on your
  8. 0:15credit balance. In case if you don't
  9. 0:17have, please add minimum $5 to credit
  10. 0:20balance. For that you have to check the
  11. 0:22billing section under the API key. After
  12. 0:24adding your payments, go to the API key
  13. 0:26section. Then create a new key and give
  14. 0:28some unique name. Click on the add
  15. 0:30button, then the API key will appear.
  16. 0:32Make sure you copy it. It won't appear
  17. 0:35again. Step one is completed. You got
  18. 0:37your Cloud API keys. In step two, open
  19. 0:40instant DM official website and go to
  20. 0:42the setting section in the left side
  21. 0:44bottom. Click on API configuration and
  22. 0:47paste that
  23. 0:48Cloud code here and save. Now click on
  24. 0:51this Instagram DM option, then click on
  25. 0:55flow automation.
  26. 0:57Create new automation. Now you can see
  27. 1:01two option, manually configure and Cloud
  28. 1:04AI reply. So you have to click on the
  29. 1:07second option, Cloud AI reply.
  30. 1:10So you can name your automation here.
  31. 1:13I'm just
  32. 1:14giving product one because it's a random
  33. 1:17product automation. So I'm giving
  34. 1:20product one. We are going to set up the
  35. 1:21trigger. So add a new trigger. So you
  36. 1:24can set specific keyword when someone is
  37. 1:27DMing you, you can automate the Cloud.
  38. 1:30So I'm choosing the option one. You can
  39. 1:33automate your stories also using
  40. 1:35particular word. And you can automate
  41. 1:37your post ads and live comment sections
  42. 1:41also. So I'm going to choose audience DM
  43. 1:43message contains. Then click on the
  44. 1:45custom word. You can set up any
  45. 1:47particular custom word someone is DMing
  46. 1:50you, this Cloud will automate the those
  47. 1:52messages. You can name anything you
  48. 1:55want. Again I'm giving us product or you
  49. 1:57can name anything. If you are selling a
  50. 1:59product. code a course, you can name it
  51. 2:01as course or you are fitness guy, you
  52. 2:04can mention fitness. Any word any
  53. 2:06particular word as you are this based on
  54. 2:09your needs and interest, you can set up
  55. 2:11but this particular automation. Then in
  56. 2:14the AI reply section, you can
  57. 2:16choose the cloud particular model. So
  58. 2:19depending on that, the tokens will be
  59. 2:21charged. So I'm using cloud 4.5 here
  60. 2:27because I think it takes some less
  61. 2:29tokens API keys. You can choose the rich
  62. 2:32text here.
  63. 2:33If you want a plain text reply, you can
  64. 2:35choose plain text also, but the rich
  65. 2:38text is recommended. In prompt section,
  66. 2:41there are two options, guided and
  67. 2:43custom. You can choose custom, I suggest
  68. 2:45because
  69. 2:46depending on the needs and your
  70. 2:48audience, you can customize how the
  71. 2:50cloud should reply. There are some
  72. 2:52examples over here. You can choose that
  73. 2:55example. So if you want
  74. 2:57a support bot, you can choose this
  75. 2:59template. Or if you want to appoint a
  76. 3:01schedule with your audience or like
  77. 3:04business, anything, you can choose this
  78. 3:06and to
  79. 3:07shortlist the leads, you can choose and
  80. 3:10so many other options as well. You can
  81. 3:12choose based on whatever your needs. So
  82. 3:15I'll just choose the product recommender
  83. 3:18for now. Still you can go and modify the
  84. 3:21the template you got. Also in advanced
  85. 3:24settings, you can see multiple options
  86. 3:26like reply mode. You want to reply as a
  87. 3:28single message or multiple messages. All
  88. 3:31those things you can customize here. I
  89. 3:32recommend simple
  90. 3:34single message. You can adjust your
  91. 3:36message context like how big it should
  92. 3:38be or how small it should be. Each
  93. 3:41message you can set the token limit.
  94. 3:43Output max tokens, I keep it as it is.
  95. 3:48Then click on set live. Yes, publish my
  96. 3:51changes. Claude is now integrated to
  97. 3:54your instant DMs. So, whenever that
  98. 3:56particular message will appear on your
  99. 3:59instant DM, the Claude will
  100. 4:00automatically reply. You can automate
  101. 4:03and add more triggers, more content on
  102. 4:06this section, this area. In this plus
  103. 4:09button, you got so many options. So, you
  104. 4:12can
  105. 4:13question, ask for name, email, phone
  106. 4:16number, uh

  113. 4:31That's it, guys. Now, your Instagram
  114. 4:34direct messages are connected with
  115. 4:36Claude. It can automatically reply. I'll
  116. 4:38show you a quick demo using two
  117. 4:40different account from two different
  118. 4:42phone how Claude is responding to the
  119. 4:45messages in real time. Actually, I
  120. 4:47modified multiple keywords after that,
  121. 4:50and I modified the prompt as well. The
  122. 4:52message is received on this account, and
  123. 4:55the Claude is immediately responding. It
  124. 4:57mentioned like, "Thanks for reaching
  125. 4:59out. What kind of help you are looking
  126. 5:01for?" Now, I'm going to ask "Battery is
  127. 5:04draining so fast. Help me." This is the
  128. 5:07another account, but I'm not responding
  129. 5:09from here, but the
  130. 5:12Claude AI is doing the job. So, it
  131. 5:14responded back, "Got it. Let me help you
  132. 5:16fix the battery drain." All are pretty
  133. 5:18good and useful for the iPhone users.
