# How to add follow-up comments to my posts

### DesktopStart

In Publer, you can add follow-up comments to your posts to extend conversations and boost engagement. These comments can include hashtags, links, captions, emojis, or media, and can be scheduled to appear with a delay on all supported social accounts except Pinterest, TikTok, Facebook Personal Profiles, and Google Business Profiles.

You can also set a default follow-up comment through [Post Presets](/en/article/how-to-specify-post-presets-for-a-social-account-qtjiw1/) for supported networks. In addition to scheduling delays, follow-up comments can be configured with advanced conditions, such as triggering based on reach or engagements.

### To add a follow-up comment:

* Go to **Create**.

* Select the desired social accounts.
* Click on **+Add Comment/Thread** below the composer.

|| Note: If you want to add **follow-up comments** to all the selected accounts, you have to specify it one by one or **Apply to all**.

|| Note: To add follow-up comments to a recurring post, you need to set them up while scheduling. This way, each occurrence will automatically include the follow-up comment or any other post callbacks. Otherwise, you will have to update each occurrence manually.

* Each comment can have anything from text, to links, to hashtags, to [media](/en/article/how-to-add-media-to-follow-up-comments-1wzgee5/).
* After that, you can set **conditions** for when the follow-up comment will be posted. You can do this by clicking on the 3 dots on the right-side of the post and choosing **Add Conditions**.

* Conditions can be based on **Time** (**Is older than**, previously 'Delay'), **Reach**, and **Engagements**.

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/e/e/f/b/eefbebed3e091800/screenshot-2025-11-24-at-84216_1p0jk1o.png)

* You can configure follow-up comments to be added automatically based on **time** or **performance**. Conditions can be combined so that either **all must be met** or **only one is required**.

|| EXAMPLE: You can set a comment to be added only if the post is at least a certain time old AND/OR if it has more or fewer engagements or reach than the number you define.

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/e/e/f/b/eefbebed3e091800/screenshot-2025-11-24-at-84233_z7ox42.png)

* Under **Is older than**, specify the time delay after which the follow-up comment will be posted.

* You can also set conditions based on **Engagements** and/or **Reach**.

|| Example: A comment can be added automatically if the post’s reach or engagement is less than or more than a specific value by selecting < or > and entering the number.

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/e/e/f/b/eefbebed3e091800/screenshot-2025-11-24-at-84256_eukje2.png)

* To add an additional comment/thread, click the **+Add Comment/Thread** below the existing one.

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/e/e/f/b/eefbebed3e091800/screenshot-2025-11-23-at-22344_y7n43x.png)

|| You can also set conditions for additional follow-up comments. However, performance-based conditions apply only to the first comment.

* Once you have finished creating the follow-up comments/threads and your comment section is ready, simply [preview](https://publer.com/help/en/article/how-to-preview-posts-on-publer-jltbzm/) the follow-up comment under the post preview on the right and then you can proceed with scheduling the post accordingly.

|| NOTE: Threads and follow-up comments do NOT carry over automatically when [reusing posts](https://help.publer.io/en/article/how-to-reuse-posts-1we8gjl/) from saved drafts, scheduled content, or previously published posts. Therefore, you will need to manually add them each time.

### Keep in mind:

* Follow-up comments are available for Twitter, BlueSky, Mastodon, and Threads accounts on Publer, but will be posted as different posts (i.e. threads) instead of comments, creating a [Twitter thread](/en/article/how-to-schedule-twitter-threads-1nwuyrd/), a [Mastodon thread](/en/article/how-to-create-and-schedule-mastodon-threads-wz1qp9/), a [BlueSky thread](https://help.publer.io/en/article/how-to-create-and-schedule-bluesky-threads-4x8m1l/) or a [Threads post](https://publer.com/help/en/article/how-to-schedule-poststhreads-to-the-threads-app-4yjmqd/).
* To add follow-up comments to a recurring post, you need to set them up while scheduling. This way, each occurrence will automatically include the follow-up comment or any other post callbacks. Otherwise, you will have to update each occurrence manually.
* You can also schedule follow-up comments for Facebook Groups, as long as you are [posting as a Page to that Group](https://publer.com/help/en/article/how-to-change-who-i-am-posting-as-for-wordpress-accounts-nl6o28/).
* **Pinterest**, **TikTok**, **Facebook Personal Profiles**, and **Google Business Profiles** don’t support follow-up comments due to **API** limitations.
