Reply to comments from one chat
Ask your assistant to go through the comments on your recent posts. It reads them from Socialync, picks the ones that need an answer, drafts a reply for each, and sends each reply only after you approve that exact reply.
Needs a paid plan. Connect an assistant first if you have not: setup guides.
The prompt
Look at the comments on my last 3 Instagram posts and my latest Threads post. Show me the ones that need an answer, with a draft reply for each. I will approve replies one at a time. Keep every reply short and in my voice.
Swap in your own details. Example links and names are placeholders.
What the assistant does
Each step names the Socialync tool the assistant calls. A step with no tool is the assistant's own work or yours.
- 1
Pick the brand and find the posts
Your assistant picks the brand, then reads your recent posts to get each post's id.

Read the comments
For each post it reads who said what, when, and the replies under each comment. It sees up to the 60 most recent comments on a post.

Draft replies
It picks the comments that ask a question or invite an answer, and drafts a reply for each. It keeps to each platform's length limit.
- 4
Show one reply and wait
It shows you the comment and the exact reply, one at a time. Replies are public and go out as soon as they are sent. It never replies in bulk.
- 5
Send the approved reply
On your yes it sends that one reply as your own account, then moves to the next comment.
reply_to_comment
What you will be asked to confirm
- Each reply, one at a time, shown next to the comment it answers.
- Replies are public and send immediately, so a change shows the reply again before it goes.
Socialync tells your assistant to show you the exact post and wait for your yes in the chat before it publishes, schedules, replies or cancels anything. The publishing tools are marked as destructive, so clients that honor that also ask you to allow each call. You can switch on a confirmation dialog on the API Keys page that shows the exact post inside clients that support it. Socialync records who approved each post and when.
What you need
