Schedule Instagram posts, Reels and Stories that answer their own comments

Most posts that sell ask people to do something: comment a word, reply to a Story, ask for the link. When the post goes out from one app and the replies are handled in another, the first hour, when most comments arrive, is the hour nobody is watching.

In Askenly the post and the automation are set up together. You schedule the Reel, attach the comment-to-DM or booking automation, and both start at the same moment. You don’t have to remember to switch anything on, and no early comment goes unanswered.

Askenly checks the media and caption before it schedules anything, so most problems show up while you’re still editing. If Instagram is briefly unavailable at publishing time, Askenly retries. If Instagram rejects the post, for example because the account was disconnected, the post is marked Failed with Instagram’s reason and what to do next, so you never assume a post went out when it didn’t.

A launch usually means a teaser Story, a Reel that explains the offer, a carousel with the details and a last-call Story. Write all four in one sitting, give each one a time, and link the Reel and carousel to the same comment-to-DM automation so every “LINK” comment gets the offer, whichever post it came from.

On launch day you’re free to reply to the conversations that need you, because the posting and the first replies are already handled. Each automation then shows how many DMs went out, how many people tapped or shared an email, and how many booked, so you can see which post did the work before you plan the next launch.
