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 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.
Select the follow-up comment icon.

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

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.
After that, you can set conditions for when the follow-up comment will be posted.

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

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.

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.

To add an additional follow-up comment, click the small + icon below the existing one.

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 and your comment section is ready, simply click on Save and you can preview 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 from saved drafts, scheduled content, or previously published posts. Therefore, you will need to manually add them each time.

To set a default follow-up comment for your posts :

Go to Social Accounts.
Select the social account where you want to apply post presets.
Navigate to the Post Presets tab, and locate the Default auto-comments setting.

Add your follow-up comment. Each comment can have anything from text, to links, to hashtags, to media.
After that, you can set conditions for when the follow-up comment will be posted.

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

Once you have finished setting up the default follow-up comments, simply click on Save and you may proceed with scheduling your posts, and the configured follow-up comments will be applied automatically.

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, a Mastodon thread, a BlueSky thread or a Threads post.
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.
Pinterest, TikTok, Facebook Personal Profiles, and Google Business Profiles don’t support follow-up comments due to API limitations.
