Comment to DM on X (Twitter): Two Ways to Message Your Commenters

How "comment to get it" posts work on X

You post something people want: a guide, a template, a discount, a free call. You ask them to comment a word to get it. The comments push the post in the algorithm, and every commenter has raised a hand. The hard part is the follow-through. Sending 200 DMs by hand takes hours, and people who wait a day for their link often forget they asked. X has no built-in way to DM commenters automatically, so you need a tool to close the loop while interest is high.

• The post collects comments and reach at the same time
• Every commenter has asked for something, so the DM is expected
• Speed matters: send the DM while they still remember the post

Option 1: Scrape one tweet and DM its commenters

This is the closest match to a "comment to get it" post. Paste the tweet into the Xreacher scraper and choose which interactions to collect: comments, likes, reposts, or any mix. For a comment-to-get-it post, pick comments. Xreacher builds a lead list of the people who replied, and you run a campaign that sends each of them the resource they asked for. You can use this on your own tweets, and on any public tweet in your niche, for example a competitor's launch post or a big account's thread on your topic.

• Pick one tweet and collect comments, likes, reposts, or a mix
• Build a list of exactly the people who replied to that post
• Works on your own tweets and on any public tweet in your niche
• Add filters like bio keywords or follower range before you send

Option 2: Message everyone who engages, automatically

If you post often and want every engager to get a DM without building a list each time, use Post Engagement as the campaign source. It reaches people who like, comment on, or repost your account's posts. Choose the interaction types, then choose existing engagement, new engagement, or both. The campaign keeps running as new people engage. This is the right fit for creators and founders who want a welcome message for anyone interacting with their content, not only one campaign post.

• Ongoing: new engagers enter the campaign as they interact
• Choose likes, comments, reposts, or any combination
• Existing engagement, new engagement, or both
• Covers all your posts, not one tweet at a time

Which option should you use?

Use Option 1 for a specific "comment to get it" post, a giveaway, a launch, or when you want the commenters of someone else's tweet. You control exactly which post and which interactions. Use Option 2 when you want a standing welcome flow for everyone who engages with your content. Many users run both: an ongoing Post Engagement campaign in the background, plus a scraped list for each lead-magnet post. One thing to know: Xreacher does not filter by the word someone commented. For a comment-to-get-it post that does not matter, because the people commenting are the people asking.

• One post, giveaway, or competitor tweet: scrape the tweet
• Every engager on every post, ongoing: Post Engagement
• Both can run side by side in the same workspace
• No filtering by the exact comment word

Write the DM they asked for, then keep the conversation going

Deliver what you promised in the first message: the link, the guide, the code. Keep it short and personal, and ask one easy question so the DM turns into a conversation, not a drop-off. Add a follow-up for people who do not answer. Replies land in the Unibox, one inbox across all your X accounts, and the AI reply agent can answer questions and move people toward a call or an offer. X limits DMs per account per day (about 7 on free accounts, 35 on Premium, 75 on Premium+), so a big post may take a few days to fully reach.

• Deliver the promised resource in the first DM
• Ask one easy question to start a real conversation
• Follow up once, and handle replies in the Unibox or with the AI agent
• Plan around X's daily DM caps for posts with many comments
