Replying to comments from before setup

Catch up on people who commented before your automation existed.

Switching a reel Live only affects new comments. If people commented before you set it up, you can reply to them yourself:

  1. 1Make sure the reel is Live. Nothing is sent while it's off.
  2. 2In the reel's editor, find Comments from before setup and press Check.
  3. 3Check the list: who would get a DM, and why any comments are skipped.
  4. 4Press Reply & DM to send them for real.

What gets skipped#

  • Comments older than 7 days. Instagram won't allow a DM reply after that, so ReplyAmigo doesn't post a public reply it can't follow through on.
  • Comments that don't match your keywords.
  • Comments you've already replied to, and your own comments.
