First Comment Automation
First comment automation for every post you publish
RepeatPost is the AI social media management platform that builds first comment automation into every post you schedule. Write the comment while you compose, and it publishes seconds after your post goes live on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Use it for hashtags, a link, or a question that gets replies moving. You'll never rush back to your phone to paste a comment again.

How first comment scheduling works
Schedule your first comment
Write the comment while you draft the post. RepeatPost publishes both together, so your links and context land without a reminder.
Hashtags in the first comment
Keep Instagram captions readable by moving tags into the comment. Discovery stays, clutter goes, and the caption keeps its focus.
Auto comments on 4 channels
Set up auto comments for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube in one composer. Each channel can carry its own comment text.
Auto Comment
First comment automation built into your composer
First comment automation means your comment publishes the second your post does, with no manual step in between. In RepeatPost, you write that comment in the same box where you draft the post, choose which channels it applies to, and schedule everything together. Load it with hashtags, a link, or the context that didn't fit your caption. Every post lands complete, and nobody on your team has to babysit the publish time.

Put hashtags in the first comment, not the caption
Hashtags still count for discovery when they sit in the first comment instead of the caption. Your caption reads like a message instead of a tag wall. Build your hashtag sets in RepeatPost, attach one to any post, and it drops into the comment field at publish time. Need fresh tags? The free Instagram hashtag generator can write a set from a short description of your post.

Engagement Boost
Turn your first comment into an engagement starter
A first comment gives people something to reply to the moment your post appears. Ask a question, tease part two, or share the bonus tip that rewards early readers. Comments invite comments. A post with a reply already under it looks like a conversation people can join. When responses start stacking up, answer them from the social inbox without leaving RepeatPost.

Schedule the first comment and the post together
You can schedule a first comment at the same moment you schedule the post itself. Write both on one screen, queue them once, and the comment publishes seconds after the post goes live on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, or YouTube. Pair it with the best time to post suggestions and everything lands while your audience is actually scrolling. Your evening posts go out on time whether you're at your desk or not.

“Honestly, the calendar is what sold me. I could see every channel in one view and spot the week we'd gone quiet. Before this I was juggling three spreadsheets and a Slack thread. Now I plan the month on a Monday morning and I'm done by half ten.”
Hannah Whitfield
Marketing Manager
United KingdomJun 14, 2026“We run social for eleven clients and keeping them separate used to be a genuine anxiety of mine. Workspaces fixed that. Each client sits in their own space, approvals route to the right person, and I've stopped worrying that someone's going to push a dental practice promo to a restaurant account at 6am.”
Marcus Reed

United StatesJun 29, 2026“I batch a fortnight of content on a Sunday arvo and then I don't think about it again. Reckon it's saved me a solid day a week. Only gripe is the mobile app still feels a step behind the web version, so I do the actual planning on my laptop. Everything else is spot on.”
Chloe Baxter

AustraliaJul 11, 2026“I'm handling social for four small brands and writing captions was eating my whole morning. The AI drafts are actually quite usable now. I still rewrite maybe every third one to sound like the client, but starting from something beats staring at a blank box. The hashtag tool alone I'm using daily.”
Ananya Raghavan
Freelance Social Media Manager
IndiaJul 30, 2026“I sell fabrics and my customers find me on Instagram mostly. Posting used to be whenever I remembered, which was maybe twice a week. Now I sit down every Sunday evening, load up two weeks, and it goes out on its own. Sales have followed. I'd like to see WhatsApp added properly, that's my one ask.”
Chidinma Eze

NigeriaAug 18, 2026“Our team is five people and we were losing posts in Slack threads. Someone would approve something, someone else would tweak it, and nobody knew which version went live. The approval flow sorted that in a week. Fair play, it's the least glamorous feature on the site and it's the one I'd miss most.”

Questions
First comment automation lets you write a comment while you compose a post, then publishes it automatically once the post is live. You set it up in the RepeatPost composer, and the timing works on every channel you picked. It's built for hashtags, links, and the context that never fits inside a caption.
RepeatPost publishes automatic first comments on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. You choose the channels per post, and each one can carry its own comment text. Connect your profiles once and the option appears right in the composer whenever you select those channels.
Either location works for discovery, so the choice comes down to readability. Hashtags in the first comment keep your caption clean while the tags still register for search. If you run 10 or more tags, the comment holds them without burying your message.
Yes. Write your Instagram first comment in the RepeatPost composer, schedule the post, and the comment goes out seconds after the post publishes. You don't need to keep the app open or set a reminder. Creators mostly use it to move hashtag sets out of the caption.
A first comment gives your audience something to respond to from the moment a post appears. Use it to ask a question or add a bonus tip instead of leaving a bare link. Replies attract more replies, so seeding the thread early gives every post a better shot at real conversation.
Yes. Anything you can type into a comment can go into your scheduled first comment, including links, mentions, and a call to action. Keep the caption focused on the hook, then let the comment carry the link to your site, shop, or newsletter. It publishes automatically with every post.
