Automations
Automations are the core of EngageDM. Each automation is a rule: when X happens, do Y. You can have as many automations as your plan allows, across multiple posts and trigger types.
Creating an automation
1
Go to Automations â New Automation
Click the + New Automation button in the Automations tab.
2
Give it a name
Choose a memorable internal name like "Free Guide Giveaway" or "Product Link DM".
3
Pick a trigger
Choose what event starts the automation â comment keyword, story reply, or incoming DM keyword.
4
Set your actions
Add a DM to send, an optional public comment reply, or both.
5
Activate
Toggle the automation to Active. It starts monitoring immediately.
Automation status
- Active â the automation is running and will fire on matching triggers.
- Paused â the automation exists but will not fire. Use this to temporarily stop without deleting.
- Draft â incomplete automations that haven't been activated yet.
Editing an active automation pauses it temporarily during save. It auto-resumes once saved.
