Instagram DM deliverability and anti-ban pacing
By Kushagra Kumar, founder of Shre. Updated 1 July 2026.
Shre is an Instagram AutoDM platform that automatically sends a DM when someone comments a keyword on your Instagram posts or Reels.
Deliverability and safety come down to one thing: sending the right way, through the official API, within Instagram's rules.
Not if it uses the official Graph API and paces sending within Instagram's rules, which is how Shre works.
Why paced, official sending matters
Tools that log into your account or blast messages get flagged. The safe approach is the official Instagram Graph API, which sends inside Instagram's messaging window and at allowed rates. Shre paces every send this way.
The messaging window
Instagram allows businesses to reply to a user within a set window after that user interacts (for example, comments or replies). Sending inside this window is what keeps DMs delivered. Very old interactions can fall outside it.
Anti-ban best practices
- Only use tools on the official API. Never share your password.
- Let sending be paced rather than instant-blasted.
- Use a daily cap per automation if you want extra control.
- Keep your call to action honest so comments are genuine.
