VantaPay answers your social media
Automatic replies on Instagram and Facebook: PRICE gets your prices and a Book button by DM.
How it works
An Instagram reel from @glossnailbar showing a nail tech painting a client's nails a deep plum. Its caption says: Comment PRICE for our prices. In the comments, jordan.t writes PRICE, and a reply from glossnailbar, marked Author and sent automatically by VantaPay, says: We sent you a private message.
They comment the word
PRICE under an Instagram reel or a Facebook post. The public reply is optional.
An Instagram direct message from glossnailbar, in reply to the comment, lists Basic Manicure $25, Gel Manicure $40, Dip Powder Manicure $45, with a Book button. The client taps it and answers: Booked for Saturday!
A private message with your prices
Your real services and prices, and a button to book.
The VantaPay Messages inbox lists three conversations: Jordan T. on Instagram tapped Book, Ana P. on Messenger asked about acrylic fill, Dre W. on Instagram left an email that went to Leads.
The thread lands in your inbox
Instagram and Messenger, next to the rest of your clients.
What it does
- A word in a comment, a message back
- Someone comments PRICE on an Instagram reel or a Facebook post and gets your price list and a Book button privately. A public reply under the comment is optional.
- Built from your real catalogue
- The message lists your services with the price you charge, and the button opens your booking page. Nothing to copy and paste.
- AI for what a keyword can't catch
- Turn on AI replies and it answers questions from your services and your booking link, in the client's own thread.
- A word that sends your open times
- Someone writes the word you choose and gets your next free slots with a button to book one.
- Emails into Leads
- Someone who writes INFO leaves an email, and it's saved to Leads for you to follow up.
- Meta's rules, applied for you
- STOP to opt out, the automated-assistant notice, the 24-hour window for messages and the 7-day window for comments. Enforced without you having to know them.
What it doesn’t do
It answers people who reached out first, with a comment, a message or a story reply. Meta doesn't let a business message anyone cold, and it doesn't try. It doesn't post for you, and WhatsApp automations aren't here yet.
Questions
How do I automatically reply to Instagram comments and DMs?
Connect your Instagram professional account in VantaPay, pick a recipe (for example: when someone comments PRICE, send them a message), test it, and switch it on. The reply is built from the services, prices and booking link already in your account.
Does it work on Facebook?
Yes. Connect your Facebook Page and the same automations answer comments on your posts and messages in Messenger. Story mentions and story replies are Instagram only, because Facebook Pages don't have them.
Can it message people who haven't written to me?
No. Meta only lets a business answer people who reached out first, with a comment, a message or a story reply, and only within set time windows. VantaPay applies those rules for you.
Does it work with WhatsApp?
Not yet. Today it answers on Instagram and on your Facebook Page: comments and messages.
Is it a ManyChat alternative?
For a service business, in the part that matters: comment-to-message, keyword replies and AI answers, built from your own prices and booking link, with the conversations in the same inbox as the rest of your clients. It isn't a general chatbot builder and doesn't try to be.
What does it cost?
It comes with the Solo plan ($14.99 a month): 15 automations on at a time and 10,000 automatic messages a month. The bigger plans raise both; the numbers are on the pricing page.
Your next reel already has someone asking the price.
