Comment-to-DM rule
A trigger-and-action pair: a keyword typed in a post's comments causes a direct message, normally carrying a link, to go to the commenter.

What “Comment-to-DM rule” means
A comment-to-DM rule has a trigger and an action. The trigger is a comment containing a keyword. The action is a private message to the commenter. It exists because many feeds make links in captions hard to use. The rule is only as good as its keyword and its link, so both deserve a test before the post goes out.
In Linkme's vocabulary this is DM Automations, summed up on its page as 'When someone comments [KEYWORD] → send a DM with a link'. Linkme also says Link AI sets up automations. We cannot confirm which platforms the rule covers, so raise that in a demo. The comment-to-DM automation entry covers keywords, messages and testing.
