Auto-reply to job-related Instagram comments with an AI-written WhatsApp CTA

Auto-reply to job-related Instagram comments with an AI-written WhatsApp CTA

Introduction

Turn job and hiring inquiries in your Instagram comments into conversations. This workflow watches for new comments on your Instagram for Business account, uses AI to draft a polished reply with a WhatsApp CTA, and posts the reply automatically.

Benefits

  • Respond instantly to job/hiring comments without being online 24/7
  • Keeps replies consistent, professional, and on-brand with a light tone
  • Moves candidates to WhatsApp faster for smoother screening and follow-ups
  • Avoids unnecessary replies by skipping non-job-related comments

Trigger Event

When a new comment is added on your Instagram content (e.g., any media or a specific post, based on your trigger settings).

Actions

  1. Analyze the incoming comment and check whether it contains common job-related keywords (like “hiring,” “apply,” “resume,” “interview,” etc.).
  2. If it’s not job-related, the workflow safely skips replying—so you don’t spam normal commenters.
  3. If it is job-related, an AI step writes a short, professional, lightly humorous reply that includes a clear WhatsApp call-to-action (and can reference the commenter naturally).
  4. Post the reply on Instagram as a direct response to the original comment—so applicants get an immediate next step to continue on WhatsApp.
