Hide spam comments automatically

Delete comments that contain blocked words — up to 25 — on your posts and Reels. Pro feature.

Updated Sep 14, 2026

Short answer: Create an Instagram automation, add a Moderate Comment trigger, enter up to 25 blocked words (contains match), and go Live. Matching comments are deleted. This is a Pro feature and uses official Instagram APIs, not a scraped session.

0/4 complete

Instagram lets a connected app delete comments that match words you choose. Use it for spam, slurs, and “check my page!!!” — not for hiding criticism you simply dislike (that still burns trust).

In creatorDM (Pro)

  1. Automation → New → Instagram → Reply to Comment / DM / Live / Story.
  2. Trigger type: Moderate Comment.
  3. Add blocked words (max 25). Match is contains.
  4. Go Live.

Leave your sales keywords (link, price) off this list. Run moderation and comment-to-DM as two triggers (they can live on the same or separate automations).

Questions people ask

Does moderation send a DM?

No. Moderate Comment only deletes matching comments. Use a separate Post or Reel Comments trigger if you also want to DM real buyers.
