Reply to an Instagram comment after Slack approval
Keep public replies thoughtful by reviewing the response in Slack before Notis posts it to the Instagram comment.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Reply To Comment
Reply to a comment on instagram media.
Why this helps
A comment that needs a considered response can remain unanswered while the draft and approval move between apps.
- Keeps a human approval moment before a public response.
- Reduces the friction between drafting and replying.
- Connects the response decision to the relevant team conversation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Instagram to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction to reply to the specified Instagram comment only after the Slack message explicitly approves the reply text.
- 3Pick the Slack channel-message trigger, select where run reports appear, and test with one approved comment response.
Questions about this workflow
Does this reply to every comment mentioned in Slack?
The prompt should require a clear comment reference and explicit approval of the reply text.
Can this retrieve comments first?
This workflow posts a reply. A separate comment retrieval workflow can bring comments into review.
