ok I actually need this. GUIDE please!!

Direct message, sent for you

Hey! Here's the guide I mentioned: getposting.com/guide

Sent automatically, 2 min after the comment

What you can automate

Choose one of three outcomes. Each uses one short form, with the steps already set for you.

Send a DM when someone comments your keyword

You post the reel that ends with “comment GUIDE and I’ll send it over”, and then forty people comment GUIDE while you are asleep.

Choose the post, the keyword, and the message. Anyone who comments that word gets a private message a minute or two later, with your link. Add a public reply first if you want the thread to show you answered.

Works on
  • Facebook
  • Instagram
  • X
  1. Someone comments GUIDE on your post
  2. Optional public reply: “Just sent it!”
  3. A pause of a minute or two
  4. Your private message arrives with the link

Use it for

  • Send the free guide, checklist, or template
  • Send a discount code to whoever asks for it
  • Send a booking link or a waitlist link
  • Send the recipe, the gear list, the full thread

Reply to comments that contain your keyword

Someone asks “how much?” under a post from three weeks ago, and it sits there unanswered until Thursday.

Keyword replies watch every post on the account. Choose the words people use, write the answer in your voice, and it appears under a matching comment. Matching ignores case and looks for any keyword anywhere in the comment, so PRICE, price, and “what’s the pricing?” all count.

  1. Someone comments PRICE on any of your posts
  2. A short pause
  3. Your reply appears under their comment

Use it for

  • Answer the pricing question the same way every time
  • Point “where do I buy this?” at the right link
  • Handle shipping and delivery questions
  • Reply to the one question every viral post attracts

Comment on your own post after it publishes

You want the link in there, but putting the link in the post is what buries it.

Write the follow-up comment with the post. After the post publishes, Get Posting waits the time you chose, in minutes or days, then adds the comment. The timer starts when the post is live.

  1. Your scheduled post publishes
  2. The wait you chose, minutes or days
  3. Your comment lands under your own post

Use it for

  • Put the link in the first comment instead of the post
  • Add the sources or the context underneath
  • Add a call to action a day after the post lands

Review every match before it sends

Start in review mode. Every match lands in a queue with the original comment and the exact message planned for it. Approve it, dismiss it, or switch to automatic after you have reviewed a few.

How to set one up

Answer four questions on one screen. A live summary at the bottom shows exactly what will happen before you press start.

  1. 1

    Pick the account

    One automation belongs to one social account. If only one account can run it, Get Posting selects it for you.

  2. 2

    Pick the keyword or the post

    Choose the words to watch, or the post to watch. The trigger is fixed, so setup stays short.

  3. 3

    Write the message once

    Plain text in your own voice. Links go in as normal URLs, so people can tap straight through.

  4. 4

    Review each one, or let it run

    Start in review mode and approve each match yourself. Switch to automatic after you have reviewed a few and trust the pattern.

Built-in limits that prevent spam

It starts with a comment on your post. Every automation writes only to people who contacted you. There is no follower list to target.

Actions leave the account one at a time. A private message waits a randomized one to three minutes after the comment. The account queue spaces actions one to five minutes apart.

  • Only comments on your posts trigger comment automations
  • No cold DMs, no follower lists, no scraping
  • Review mode holds every match until you approve or dismiss it
  • Actions are paced one at a time, usually 1–5 minutes apart
  • Owners and admins can change automations; members can view but not edit
  • Pause or archive any automation without losing its history

Frequently asked questions

Short answers on how automations work, which platforms they run on, and what they cost.

What is social media automation in Get Posting?

Get Posting handles three specific outcomes: send a private message to someone who comments a word you chose, reply publicly to comments containing that word, and add a comment to your own post once it publishes. You choose the outcome and fill in a short form. Get Posting owns the trigger, ordering, pacing, and safety checks.

Which platforms do automations work on?

Comment to DM works on Facebook, Instagram, and X. Keyword replies work on Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, LinkedIn, and TikTok. The follow-up comment on your own post is X only for now. Threads comments can be read and replied to by hand in the inbox, but Threads cannot run automations yet.

Will it message people who never contacted me?

Only people who comment on your own post can trigger an automation. It cannot target a follower list or anyone who has not spoken to you.

How fast does the message go out?

Messages wait one to three minutes after the comment on purpose. Work on a single account is also spaced out, so multiple matches do not send in a burst.

Can I check each one before it sends?

Yes. New automations start in review mode, so every match waits in the queue until an owner or admin approves or dismisses it. Switch to automatic when you are ready, then switch back at any time.

Does it work on comments from before I set it up?

No. Comment collection starts when you turn it on, so the automation matches new comments only. Older comments stay where they are.

Which plans include automations?

Automations are included on Creator, Pro, and Max. Those plans include 500, 2,500, and 12,500 runs per month respectively. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial, so you can set one up and watch it run before you pay anything.
