First Comment

Blotato posts a First Comment immediately after an Instagram or Facebook post publishes. First Comments work for posts published now and posts scheduled for later. The feature is available on every paid plan.

Use a First Comment for a link, additional context, or information you want outside the main caption.

Using the Blotato Web App

1. Create an Instagram or Facebook post.

2. Open the platform options.

3. Enter your text in First Comment.

4. Publish the post now or schedule it.

5. Blotato publishes the comment after the post goes live.

Using the Blotato API or MCP

1. Add target.firstComment to an Instagram or Facebook request in Publish Post.

2. For MCP, pass firstComment to blotato_create_post.

3. Submit the post for immediate publishing or scheduling.

Facebook First Comments support up to 8,000 characters. Instagram First Comments support up to 2,200 characters. First Comments work on Facebook posts and reels, plus Instagram posts, carousels, and reels. Stories do not support First Comments.

For another platform, wait for the post to publish, then use Post Comment where supported or comment on the social platform.
