Ever hear your comment notification bell ringing louder than the school bell before the holiday break...?

Well, congratulations on that high-engagement post you were aiming for!

It'd be great if managing those comments felt less like the final exams and more like the school disco. πŸ˜‰ Good news!

With Auto-moderation, you can auto-handle comments on specific posts like product launches, promotional posts, sensitive topics, or time-limited offers. Let's get right to it.


How it works

Set Up Auto-Moderation Rules for Specific Posts in NapoleonCat Auto-moderation
  • 🎯 Auto-moderation on specific posts allows you to create rules that only manage comments on selected posts.

    You can focus your attention on the posts that matter most, making sure you don't overlook any important comments.

  • πŸ”„ Multiple posts, one rule: With one rule, you can handle multiple posts, as long as they're from the last 30 days.

  • 🌐 Platform compatibility: It doesn't matter if they're organic or ad posts, this feature works seamlessly across Facebook Ads, Facebook, Instagram, and Instagram ads.

  • βš™οΈ Rule edits: Change your mind? You can always modify your rules or select/deselect posts from the past 30 days.

  • πŸ—¨οΈ Example Time: Picture a hot ad post flooded with comments like "Is there a discount?", "Does it come in red?", "What sizes are available?". Set up an Auto-moderation rule on that ad and watch it automatically reply to these queries!
