Post comments
Reply to Facebook and Instagram post comments automatically, and slide into DMs when a keyword matches.
How it works
ManyChat's killer featureWhen a user comments on one of your posts, Many can reply publicly under the comment and DM the user — turning attention into 1:1 conversation. The bot's DM uses the comment as opt-in (Meta's policy allows this).
- Build a flow with a Comment keyword trigger.
- Add Public reply node(s) for the under-comment text.
- Add DM reply node(s) for the private follow-up.
- Publish. Every matching comment runs the flow.

Meta has rate limits for public-reply automation. Many caps replies per minute per post and surfaces Meta's errors verbatim. Out-of-window DM follow-ups are allowed only when seeded by a comment, never from a stale subscriber.
