How do I create my first automation?

Create your first CommentLink automation from Posts & Reels: pick a post, set Keywords or All Comments, then Save.

The fastest first win is a comment automation on one post or Reel in Posts & Reels.

Before you start

  • Instagram connected in Channels
  • At least one published post or Reel synced
  1. Open Posts & Reels

    In the sidebar, open Posts & Reels. Sync if your list is empty.

  2. Choose a post or Reel

    Open the post you want to automate.

  3. Set a trigger

    Choose Keywords (and add trigger keywords) or All Comments. Optionally set exclude keywords and Send Once.

  4. Configure replies

    Add DM message content. Optionally enable Comment Auto Reply for a public reply. Leave No DMs (Only Comment Auto Reply) off if you want a DM.

  5. Save

    Click Save. New matching comments should trigger the automation while it remains active and Instagram stays connected.
