Common questions

How do I automatically reply to comments on my Instagram post?

You need a tool that watches your comments and sends a reply when a keyword appears. In Pludor, connect your social accounts, open Management > Automation Rules, create a flow, enter your keywords (comma-separated), write the reply text, and save. You can also limit it to one specific post if you want.

What is a comment keyword auto-reply and how does it work?

It's a rule that sends a reply whenever someone comments a specific word on your post - like "LINK" or "price". You set a trigger, the keywords to watch for, and the reply text. When a matching comment comes in, the reply goes out automatically, so you never miss one on a viral post.

How much does it cost to auto-reply to comments?

On Pludor it's included on every store, including the Free plan - you get a free amount of automation runs each month (200 free), then pay only for what you use at 1 credit per 10 automation runs, where 1 credit = 1 cent. No card is needed to start, and new stores get 500 free credits.

How do I reply "link" comments with a DM automatically?

Set up a keyword automation that watches for the word people comment, like "LINK". In Pludor, go to Management > Automation Rules, create a flow with that keyword as the trigger, choose the action, and write the reply text with your link or instructions. Save it and every matching comment gets the reply instantly.

Can I auto-reply only on one specific post, like a giveaway?

Yes. When creating the automation flow in Pludor, there's an option to target a specific post instead of all your posts. Enter your keywords, pick the post, write the reply, and save. That's handy for giveaways or a single "comment LINK" post.

Is comment auto-reply safe to use for my brand?

It's a standard practice for creators and brands running giveaways or "comment LINK" posts. The replies are your own custom text, so you control exactly what's sent. Just make sure your social accounts are properly connected and check the Failed section in Outreach for any message that couldn't be delivered.

What's the best way to handle hundreds of comments on a viral post?

Manual replying is impossible at scale, so use keyword auto-replies. Set one flow for your most common comment (like "price" or "LINK") with a reply that answers it, and optionally a second flow targeting all comments with a thank-you message. Pludor's Automation Rules handle both - keywords or every comment.

How do I get more comments on my posts so the auto-reply has something to trigger on?

Write captions with a clear call to comment, like "comment LINK and we'll send it to you." Pludor has a free Instagram Caption Generator that writes comment-driving captions for your posts - you can try it 8 times an hour without an account. Then your keyword auto-replies close the loop.

Do I need a paid plan to use comment auto-replies?

No. The feature is on for every Pludor store, including the Free plan, and creating a store is free. Each month you get a free amount of automation runs (200 free), and beyond that you pay only for what you use in credits. Paid plans are just optional bundles with bigger free amounts.

What else can I automate besides comment replies?

The same Automation Rules in Pludor support if-this-then-that flows for orders, leads and follow-ups. Triggers include new order, new lead, missed call and delivered order; actions include sending a template, adding a tag or creating a nudge. Test with a dummy order or lead, then monitor the Failed section in Outreach for anything that didn't send.
