Reply to Facebook Page Comments That Mention a Keyword (and Send a DM Resource Link)

Introduction

Keep your Facebook Page engagement fast and consistent by automatically responding to comments that include a specific keyword (like “AI”). This workflow uses Facebook Pages to post a public reply and then sends a helpful private message with a resource guide link/button.

Benefits

  • Respond instantly to high-intent comments mentioning your keyword (e.g., “AI”)
  • Reduce manual moderation and repetitive copy/paste replies
  • Deliver resources via DM for a cleaner comment thread and better user experience
  • Keep messaging consistent across your Page, even outside business hours

Trigger Event

When a new comment appears on your selected Facebook Page (on any post/video—or optionally a specific post).

Actions

  1. Check the comment text for the keyword: The automation scans the incoming comment and continues only if it includes “AI”.
  2. Post a public comment reply: It replies on the original post thread with a short confirmation message (e.g., “Sent resource in the DM.”) to reassure the commenter.
  3. Send a private reply (DM): It sends the commenter a private message containing your “AI” resource guide, including a button (e.g., Resource Guide) so they can access it immediately.
