With PromoRepublic you can create, schedule, and automatically post the first comment on your Instagram posts.

The first comment on Instagram isn’t limited to adding hashtags, you can add whatever text you like, and it will appear as the first comment below your post and caption. Whether you want to kick-start a conversation, ask questions to your audience or even reveal a competition winner in your first comment, PromoRepublic has got you covered!

How does it work? It's pretty simple!

  1. Start the post creation the way you prefer, for example, with the Create Post button on the top right.

  2. Select the Instagram Business page, and you'll see the additional text box below the caption box.

It is here where you type the text, insert hashtags or mentions, etc (up to 2,000 characters, 10 mentions, and 30 hashtags).


What requirements are needed for the First Comment?

  • The Instagram Profile must be a Business Profile (not Personal or Creator)

  • The Facebook Business Page must be authenticated with PromoRepublic to enable this feature.
