Instagram auto DM from Hermes Agent

Tell Hermes Agent the keyword, the post and the message. It finds the reel, shows you the exact DM, and after your yes creates an Auto DM rule in CueEditio. From then on every matching comment gets the DM within seconds, even when Hermes Agent is closed.

Ask Hermes Agent

You

Same as last week: auto DM on today’s reel, keyword LINK, my usual guide link.

Hermes Agent

Using your saved guide link https://example.com/guide. Today’s reel: "Batch editing in 10 min". Rule LINK → DM "Here’s the guide: https://example.com/guide". Create it?

Example conversation. Post names and counts will be your own.

The CueEditio tools that run

  • list_accountsChecks which Instagram account is connected and whether it can send (Pro).
  • list_postsFinds your latest reel or the post you described, with its id.
  • create_autodm_ruleSaves the rule: keywords, the DM text, which posts, optional public reply and follow gate.
  • list_autodm_rulesReads the rule back so you can see it is active.

How it works

  1. 1.Connect once

    Add the CueEditio MCP to Hermes Agent and sign in. Connect your Instagram professional account in CueEditio.

  2. 2.Describe the rule

    Name the keyword, the post ("my latest reel") and the message, link included.

  3. 3.Confirm

    Hermes Agent shows the exact rule and DM text. Nothing is created until you say yes.

  4. 4.It runs on its own

    The rule lives on CueEditio’s servers. It keeps sending after you close Hermes Agent. Ask Hermes Agent to pause it any time.

Hermes keeps memory between sessions, so tell it your DM links and reply style once. It still shows each DM or reply before sending.

Limits to know

  • Instagram only lets a business DM someone who commented, as a private reply to that comment. The agent cannot cold-DM people who never commented.
  • One DM per comment. A second send to the same comment returns already_dmed unless you tell the agent to force it.
  • The comment must be 7 days old or newer. Older comments come back with dm_eligible false.
  • At most 600 DMs and 600 public replies per hour per account, below Meta’s ceiling of 750.
  • Reading posts, comments and rules works on the free plan. Sending replies, DMs and creating rules needs CueEditio Pro ($6 or ₹459 a month).

Questions

No. Hermes Agent only creates the rule. CueEditio stores it and Instagram’s webhook triggers it, so DMs go out while your computer is off.

Yes. Ask for "any comment" and Hermes Agent sets trigger_mode to any. Keyword rules match when the comment contains the word; ask for an exact match if you need one.

Yes. The rule can post a public reply under the comment, with up to three variations picked at random so the replies do not all look the same.

Yes. CueEditio uses the Instagram API with Instagram Login. Our messaging and comment permissions passed Meta App Review in October 2026.

Add it with hermes mcp add and the URL. CueEditio is a remote server, so there is nothing to install locally.
