Trigger Comment Automations by Post Category/Tags
S
Steen Olesen
Proposed Solution:
Allow comment automations to trigger based on post categories and/or tags assigned in the Social Planner.
Implementation:
- Assign categories/tags when creating posts in Social Planner
- Set automation trigger: "When someone comments on posts with Category X or Tag Y"
- Posts automatically included in automation when published
- Works seamlessly with scheduled content
Benefits:
- Eliminates manual post selection after publishing
- Enables proper content scheduling with automation
- Reduces risk of missed leads from early commenters
- Streamlines workflow for agencies and high-volume users
Current Limitation:
The comment automation feature requires us to either select "all posts" (not practical) or manually add specific posts after they're published. This creates two problems:
- Scheduling Issue: Can't pre-schedule posts with automation enabled
- Timing Gap: Risk missing early commenters before manually adding the post to automation
Use Case Example:
Schedule 10 posts tagged #leadmagnet for the week. Automation automatically captures comments on all tagged posts from the moment they go live, without any manual intervention.
