detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your Instagram customer service and engagement by automatically replying to comments. This workflow listens for new comments, checks them against a pre-defined list, and sends a personalized response, while logging all interactions.
About This Workflow
Boost your Instagram presence and customer relations with this powerful automation. This workflow acts as your digital assistant, monitoring your Instagram account for new comments. Upon detecting a comment, it intelligently checks if it matches any entries in your Google Sheet, which can serve as a cue for a specific automated reply. If a match is found, it crafts and sends a personalized direct message back to the user, ensuring timely and relevant communication. Furthermore, every interaction, including the comment details and the response status, is meticulously logged in your Google Sheet, providing valuable insights for CRM and performance tracking. This ensures no engagement is missed and enhances your brand's responsiveness.
Key Features

- Smart Reply Logic: Trigger custom replies based on matching comments in a Google Sheet.
- Automated Direct Messaging: Send personalized DMs to users who comment.
- Comprehensive Interaction Logging: Record all engagements, user details, and timestamps in a Google Sheet for CRM purposes.

How To Use
- Set up Instagram Webhook: Configure the 'Insta Update' node to receive incoming webhooks from Instagram. This requires setting up a webhook subscription with Instagram for comments.
- Configure Verification: Set up the 'Get Verification' webhook to handle Instagram's verification requests and respond with the challenge using the 'Respond to Verfication Message' node.
- Define Reply Triggers: In the 'Comment List' node, specify your Google Sheet document and sheet name. Configure the 'filtersUI' to match specific words or phrases from incoming comments to trigger a reply. This sheet will act as your keyword trigger list.
- Craft Your Reply: The 'Send Message for Comment' node is configured to send a direct message. Customize the
jsonBodyto create your desired message. Use expressions like{{ $json.Message }}to insert dynamic content (though this specific example uses a placeholder, you'll need to define how$json.Messageis populated elsewhere or directly within the node's parameters if it's static). - Log Interactions: The 'Add Interation in Sheet (CRM)' node automatically appends details of each interaction (comment, user ID, timestamp) to your 'Interation List' Google Sheet. Ensure the sheet is correctly set up with the specified columns.
- Connect and Test: Ensure all nodes are connected correctly and authorize the necessary credentials (Instagram Access Token and Google Sheets Account). Test the workflow by posting a comment on your Instagram post that matches a trigger in your Google Sheet.
