What “Keyword trigger” means
A keyword trigger turns a comment into a request. The post names the word and what will be sent, a follower types it, and a direct message with a link arrives. The trigger is only as good as the word. A distinctive keyword tied to one offer rarely fires by accident. A common word fires on comments that were never requests.
Linkme describes Link AI's DM Automations in one line: 'When someone comments [KEYWORD] → send a DM with a link'. Which platforms the rule runs on, and how closely a comment must match, are not stated, so check both. The comment-to-DM tools entry covers choosing the word and retiring the rule.
