Yes. A comment automation can post a public reply under the comment as well as sending the DM. It's optional, and it works on every plan, including Hobby.
A public reply tells the commenter, and everyone else reading, that the DM is on its way.
Set it up
- Open your comment automation.
- Under Optional, click Public Comment Replies.
- Type a reply, like "Sent it to your DMs", and add it.
- Add a few more replies if you like. Waveloop picks one at random for each comment.
- Click Save Replies.
Good to know
- Public replies are for comment automations only. DM keyword and story reply automations answer inside the DM.
- Everyone can see these replies under your post, so keep them short and friendly.
- Several different replies keep your comment section from looking copy-pasted.
- The public reply is separate from the DM. Turn it off by removing all replies from the list.
Write each reply so it makes sense on its own, like "Check your DMs" or "Sent, enjoy the recipe". Any one of them can appear under any comment.
