Automatically reply to repetitive comments under every post
Someone comments "price?" and seconds later has the full answer in their DMs, and if you want, a short reply shows under that same comment too. The same Pasokhino rules you build for DMs also run on comments.
From a public comment to a private conversation
From comment to DM
Send the commenter a private reply in their DMs: text, a photo, buttons or a product card. That private reply is what opens the DM conversation with them.
Public reply, private reply, or both
Choose a DM only, a reply under the comment only, or both. The public reply is picked at random from several texts you write, so it never looks copy-pasted.
Every post or chosen posts
Run a rule on every post or only on a campaign post. The keyword can appear anywhere in the comment, or be the whole comment exactly.
Follow-gating and once per person
Give content to followers only, or send the DM only to people who do not follow yet; with "once per person", a second comment does not resend the same message.
A comment that starts a form
A word in a comment can start an automatic form: the first question goes to the DM, and the customer's answer opens the rest of the conversation.
Comments Instagram skipped
If Instagram fails to notify Admino about a comment, Admino re-reads comments on covered posts and answers the one that was missed, without answering anyone twice. The page's own comments never trigger a reply.
Comment automation, plainly explained
How is a comment reply different from a DM auto-reply?
Both run on the same rule engine, Pasokhino. Comments have one extra choice: a private DM reply, a public reply under the comment, or both.
Is the public reply always the same?
Not necessarily. If you write several public replies, Admino picks one at random each time, so replies under a busy post do not look repetitive. The public reply is optional: a new rule sends a DM only by default, and nothing is posted under a comment until you choose that option yourself.
What happens if someone has not followed the page yet?
If the rule is set to "followers only", a follow request with an "I followed" button is sent instead of the real content, and after the tap follow status is checked with Instagram itself. If it is set to "only people who do not follow", it works the other way: confirmed followers get no DM and everyone else gets it at most once.
Do the page's own comments get auto-replied to?
No. Admino ignores comments posted by the page's own Instagram account.
Can I follow up automatically after replying to a comment?
No. After a private reply to a comment, Instagram does not allow another message until the person writes something in the DM. Automatic follow-ups are for DM rules; once a commenter moves to the DM and writes, your DM rules carry on with them.
Why did only one of my messages reach the commenter?
That is Instagram's limit: a comment accepts exactly one private reply. Consecutive short text messages are combined so they arrive together. Whatever does not fit is held and sent the moment the person writes in the DM.
What if the commenter never replies?
The rest is sent to anyone who writes in the DM within a day, and to anyone who replies directly to that first message within seven days. After that it is dropped, because Instagram does not allow messages to someone who has not written.
How long can one message be?
Instagram's ceiling is a thousand characters per text message. While you build a rule, the panel tells you whether your messages arrive together and how many characters to cut, so you do not have to count.
Can I run an automation on just one post?
Yes. A comment rule can be limited to specific posts, so a campaign post gets its own rule. Posts you publish later are not added automatically; choose "all posts" for those.
Is an "automatic comment" tool the same thing?
It depends what it automates. Admino replies automatically to comments other people leave under your own posts, by keyword. It never posts comments under other accounts' posts: automated commenting elsewhere is what password-based bots do, and it puts a page at risk of Instagram restrictions. Admino uses Meta's official API and never asks for your password.
Which Admino plan includes comment automation?
Comment automation is part of Pasokhino and is included in the monthly and yearly plans. Every new account gets a 30-day free trial with every feature after verifying a phone number; see the pricing page for details.
