Frequently Asked Questions
What does this recipe trigger on?
It triggers on any first-level comment on the Instagram post you select. Replies to other comments do not fire the workflow.
Can I deliver something other than a checklist?
Yes. The lead-magnet step sends whatever you attach — PDF, link, video, calendar invite, or scheduling URL.
Do I need to keep the public comment reply?
It's recommended. Posting a visible reply tells the commenter to check their DMs and signals to other followers that the bot works.
Why do the DM buttons matter?
Interactive buttons keep the conversation on rails and let you branch the workflow based on what the user taps.
