How to Auto-Post First Comment with PLANOLY

Instagram is a busy place with lots of competing content. It’s important to share a valuable and actionable message on your posts, but there may be additional important details or hashtags that complement your primary message.

By auto-posting your first comment on Instagram, you can keep your caption simple & clean while easily adding additional details. Directly publish your first comment on Instagram posts - including carousel posts (on Web). This feature is available for paid PLANOLY accounts with a linked Instagram Business or Creator account.

You’ll also need to ensure your post is eligible for auto-posting to Instagram (read more about that here!).
