How automations work
The building blocks: triggers that start a flow and responses that reply.
An automation (or 'flow') is a trigger plus a set of responses. When something happens on Instagram or your Facebook Page — a comment, a DM, a story reply — Tendrify runs the flow and messages the person automatically, 24/7.
Triggers
- A comment on a specific post or reel (or any post)
- A DM containing a keyword
- A reply to your story
- A mention of you in someone's story
- A comment on your live video
- Someone sharing your post or reel to you in DMs
- A click-to-message ad (pick the ad, or all ads)
- Comments and Messenger DMs on your Facebook Page
- Universal: one automation for every placement at once
Responses
- An opening message with buttons
- Text messages with link or reply buttons
- Images, and cards with a Buy button (fill a card from one of your products in one tap)
- A PDF file (Instagram accepts PDFs only — upload the file itself, not a Drive link)
- A quick-reply menu where each button sends its own answer
- A lead form that collects email/name
- An 'ask to follow' gate before the payoff
- A delayed follow-up message
Every flow has a Status toggle. A flow only runs when its status is on.
