You will learn how to set up auto-reply Facebook comments and send private messages (PM) automatically.

Without wasting time on long introductions, let’s jump right into it!

Auto-reply on FB comment VS Auto-reply private message (PM)

First of all, there are 2 different types of replies when someone comments on a post on your Facebook page.

A lot of people messed up! Let’s clarify it first.

The below picture shows the first type, an auto-reply Facebook comment reply. This reply will show publicly.

The below picture shows the second type, an automated private message. This message will send to the commenter’s Messenger.

Please note that this “send message” button will only be shown on the new comments. It will disappear after a few weeks. That’s why you need to set an auto-reply private message for every new comment!

Now you understood the difference. Let’s take a look at how to set up an auto-reply.

Why don’t we just use ManyChat’s auto-reply feature?

Below is what ManyChat configuration looks like – as you can see the offered option is very limited.

Manychat is a good chatbot builder. However, it lacks some key features for replying to comments:

  • No auto-reply private message
  • Can’t set delay reply
  • No random reply
  • Cannot reply using image
  • Cannot auto-like comment
  • and more…

PostJelly provides the most advanced Auto-reply tool and it is super easy to use!

Let’s see how to use it!
