# Can I Choose Which Post to Autoreply To?

Yes. Create a [custom automation](https://chatfuel.com/docs/ai-features/how-to-create-a-custom-automation) with a **List of posts**, and it answers comments only on the posts or reels you pick — up to 50 per rule, with up to 30 rules per source. Rules targeted at specific posts [outrank general ones](https://chatfuel.com/docs/ai-features/which-automation-replies-to-a-message-or-comment), so a post-specific rule takes over its posts while [comment autoreply](https://chatfuel.com/docs/instagram/instagram-comment-autoreply) elsewhere keeps working as before. For TikTok videos, see [TikTok comment autoreply](https://chatfuel.com/docs/tiktok/tiktok-comment-autoreply).

## How it works [#how-it-works]

* The base automation and general custom rules cover comments on any post.
* A rule with a **List of posts** applies only to the content you selected. You can add keywords to narrow it further — for example, react only to comments containing "price" on those posts. See [how to set up automation for specific posts or ads](https://chatfuel.com/docs/ai-features/how-to-set-up-automation-for-specific-posts-or-ads).
* Combine freely: keep a general rule for everything and add a separate rule with different replies for a campaign post — say, one where commenters should get a special link.

## Set it up in Automations [#set-it-up-in-automations]

1. Go to **Fuely AI** → **Automations**.
2. Under **Instagram**, open **post & reel comments** (or **ad comments** to target specific ads).
3. Create a custom automation and pick your content in **List of posts**.
4. Set the **Public reply** and **Private reply**, then turn the rule on.

## Or ask the AI Co-Worker [#or-ask-the-ai-co-worker]

Tell it what you want in chat:

*"Set up comment autoreply only for my latest reel."*

It applies the change and confirms what it set.

## Tips [#tips]

* **Campaign over?** Turn the rule off instead of deleting it — the targeting and replies stay saved for next time.
* **Different posts, different goals** — give each rule its own instructions and replies, so a product launch and a giveaway don't share the same script.
