{% endhint %}

### Step 4 - Set the effective time of post reply

After the validity period has passed, the message will no longer be delivered. If there is no time limit to be set, select Permanent

#### Facebook post

#### Instagram post

The valid period of IG Live can only be 24 hours.

Valid period: All live within valid period will trigger private autoreply message

<figure><img src="https://2848678129-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3u2I1osIy6mEi07X1z46%2Fuploads%2FNL1fNI2tz3XpdsImbPTp%2F%E6%88%AA%E5%9C%96%202023-04-21%20%E4%B8%8A%E5%8D%8810.41.28.png?alt=media&amp;token=617decfb-46e6-4fd0-8a1a-6c5d21505f28" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Step 5 - Set up the "Reply Settings

Please select the rules of the auto-reply, including "**comment"** and "**tag friends"**. Both can be set at the same time.

#### Comment

![](https://2848678129-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3u2I1osIy6mEi07X1z46%2Fuploads%2F2g1ird21qzkI1zit481x%2FScreenshot%202022-05-03%20at%203.31.54%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=2c1e2a92-b963-4d09-ba08-6b1a96490308)

1. **Is anything:** No need to set up the keyword. Left any comment (includes image / FB stickers) and auto-reply will be triggered
2. **Contains any:** When multiple keywords are set, the auto-reply will be triggered if the comment contains any keyword
3. **Contains all:** When multiple keywords are set, the auto-reply will be triggered if the comment contains all keywords
4. **Is exactly the same as:** The comment should be exactly the same as the "Reply settings". so, it is recommended to set only one keyword or sentence. If multiple keywords are set, the auto-reply will only be triggered by the "first" keyword, and the "second" keyword will be ignored.

For example:

![](https://2848678129-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3u2I1osIy6mEi07X1z46%2Fuploads%2FxHj2vuEo49LC6Vb8IDdN%2FScreenshot%202022-05-03%20at%203.41.59%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=218a253d-d467-445a-8a60-f19fa1f7aa25)

Select "**Contains any**", when customers comment 1, 31 or 24, the auto-reply will be triggered as "1", "2" are included

![](https://2848678129-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3u2I1osIy6mEi07X1z46%2Fuploads%2FYSDjnQLCOVOEL8CaN6Ga%2FScreenshot%202022-05-03%20at%203.42.09%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=f124fe04-daa6-4cfd-8005-b33cddbb966c)

Select "**Contains all**", when customers comment 12 or 21, the auto-reply will be triggered as "1", "2" are both included

![](https://2848678129-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3u2I1osIy6mEi07X1z46%2Fuploads%2Fggy0NkASc7y4rQBn54fC%2FScreenshot%202022-05-03%20at%205.08.00%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=fa11e2c6-3e05-4562-81ff-e459190c493d)

Select "**Is exactly the same as**", only when customers reply "Omnichat", the auto-reply will be triggered as it is the first keyword. If the customer comment "ABC" or "Hi", the auto-reply will not be triggered

#### Tag friends

<figure><img src="https://2848678129-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3u2I1osIy6mEi07X1z46%2Fuploads%2FSvyueiVVbyppLWJvmOyz%2F%E6%88%AA%E5%9C%96%202023-04-21%20%E4%B8%8A%E5%8D%8810.51.45.png?alt=media&amp;token=ed36bea0-6cc1-495f-a17f-cc38d4b01464" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

1. Without mention: If customers don't need to tag their friends, please select this option.
2. Greater than of Equals: After you set the numbers, the auto-reply will be triggered when customers tag the same numbers of their friends.

{% hint style="info" %}
Instagram doesn't support tagging friends feature currently.
{% endhint %}

### Step 6 - Create the content of the Public Comment reply and **Private Messages reply**

Create at least one "Public comment reply" or "Private Messages reply"

"**Private Messages reply**" supports:

1. "**Text**": Reply by plain text
2. "**Message Block**": Reply by Chatbot block (Note: Due to the limitation of Facebook, the reply can only include 1 chatbot block. So, it is recommended to use a chatbot with a button to increase the interaction rate with your customers)

{% hint style="info" %}
If you add multiple replies, the system will send one to the customer randomly. This can avoid automatically reply the same message every time and reduce the risk of the account being blocked by Facebook because of sending too many similar messages
{% endhint %}

![](https://2848678129-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3u2I1osIy6mEi07X1z46%2Fuploads%2FzBp8SbhOAQF79wfYf6Xd%2FScreenshot%202022-05-03%20at%205.47.33%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=45d20683-be35-40fa-a0ba-44afc2cd4f44)

### Step 7 - Add multiple groups of Public Comment replies and **Private Messages replies**

You can also set up **multiple groups** of Public Comment replies and Private Messages replies

![](https://2848678129-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3u2I1osIy6mEi07X1z46%2Fuploads%2FHNDx1ufGo1hpXB8p5QI8%2FScreenshot%202022-05-03%20at%206.02.46%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=c6c3a8a3-c4ed-45d9-919b-81ac8b75943d)

### Customers tag your Instagram official account, they will receive private message

{% hint style="danger" %}
Customers' instagram account must be public, or they will not receive private message form your instagram official account
{% endhint %}

#### Step 1: Select story mentioned
