# Set Up Story Mention

Automatically send a DM whenever someone mentions your account in their story.

{% dm-demo caption="A customer mentions your account in their story, and a thank-you DM is sent right away" %}
time: rara.learns mentioned @sebelumkreatif in their story
bot: Thanks for mentioning Sebelum Kreatif in your story! 🙌 Here's a 20% discount voucher for the online class, valid for 3 days. [Click Here]

{% enddm-demo %}

Great for cafés, shops, tourist spots, or any business that customers often tag in their stories.

#### 1. Create a new automation

Open **Instagram Comment to DM**, click **New Automation**, then **Basic Automation**. The steps are the same as [steps 1–4 of Comment to DM](/instagram/comment-to-dm).

#### 2. Choose Story Mention

1. Under **Listening to**, choose **Story Mention**

#### 3. Set the frequency and message

1. **Frequency**: how often the same person gets a reply. Choose **Once per 24 hours** so customers who post several stories on the same day only get one reply.
2. **Message**: a thank-you, a voucher, or a link. With **Template Button**, also fill in the button and its URL, for example a Google Maps link or a product link.
3. Click **Create Automation**. On a phone, the button is below the form.

✅ From now on, whenever someone mentions your account in their story, the DM is sent automatically.
