# Set Up Live to DM

Viewers comment a keyword while you're Live, and the product link is sent straight to their DMs.

{% dm-demo caption="A viewer writes CANVA in the Live comments, and the link lands in their DMs right away" %}
time: 🔴 rara.learns commented “CANVA” while you were Live
bot: Hi! Here's the link to the 50 Canva templates we talked about in the live 👇 https://lynk.id/sebelumkreatif/canva
{% enddm-demo %}

Great for selling, sharing links, or flash sales during a Live, without replying to comments one by one.

#### 1. Create a new automation

Open **Instagram Comment to DM**, click **New Automation**, then **Basic Automation**. Fill in the **Automation Name**, for example *Canva template live sale*.

#### 2. Choose Instagram Live

#### 3. Add content for each product

Click **Add Content**. Each content item has one keyword and one message.

1. **Trigger Words**: the word viewers write in the comments, for example `CANVA`. Separate them with commas if there's more than one, for example `CANVA, want canva`.
2. **Message**: the DM content. The **Message Type** can be *Text*, *Template Button* (up to 3 buttons), or *Carousel*.
3. Click **Create Automation**. On a phone, the button is below the form.

💡 Selling several products in one Live? Click **Add Content** again for each product, for example `CANVA` for templates, `EBOOK` for the ebook, `CLASS` for the online class.\
💡 **Show Additional Features** includes the **Opening Message**, [Ask for Follow](/instagram/comment-to-dm/ask-for-follow), [Ask for Contact](/instagram/comment-to-dm/ask-for-contact) and [Follow Up](/instagram/comment-to-dm/follow-up) (Pro only), and **Link Tracking** to count button clicks. See also [Message Types](/instagram/comment-to-dm/jenis-pesan).\
💡 **Ask for Payment** asks for payment before the link is sent, see [Ask for Payment](/ask-for-payment/instagram).

{% hint style="warning" %}
Only **one** Live automation can be active at a time. If you turn on a new one, the app offers to stop the old one. Set up the automation before you go Live.
