TikTok Comment Autoreply

Fuely AI can automatically reply under comments on your TikTok videos.

Last updated on

Fuely AI can automatically reply under comments on your TikTok videos. Comments are one of the TikTok sources in Automations: the source has a permanent base automation that can answer every comment, and on top of it you can add up to 30 custom automations — named keyword rules with their own replies.

Note: TikTok comment automations send a Public reply only — the answer visible under the comment. Unlike Instagram and Facebook, there is no private-reply setting, because TikTok doesn't allow DMing someone based on their comment. For DM automation, see the TikTok automations overview.

How replies are chosen

  • The base automation is the catch-all: it answers any comment that no custom rule catches, adapting each reply to the comment using your instructions and knowledge base. Like every base, it starts off.
  • Custom automations react to keywords. A rule can match the exact comment text, comments that contain the keyword, or any comment. Each rule has its own Public reply.
  • In Incoming messages you can also choose not to reply on the comment source — for example, to keep the base silent so only your keyword rules answer.

When several rules could match the same comment, a priority order picks the winner: exact keyword beats contains, which beats catch-all, and custom rules beat the base.

Set it up in Automations

  1. Go to Fuely AIAutomations.
  2. Under TikTok, open the comments source.
  3. Turn on the base automation to answer every comment, and use Additional instructions to shape how it talks — tone, goal, examples of what to say.
  4. To react to specific words, add a custom automation: name it, set the keywords and how they match, and write its Public reply.
  5. Turn your rules on and test them — use the Test chat, or leave a comment on one of your videos.

Or ask the AI Co-Worker

Tell it what you want in chat:

"When someone comments PROMO on my TikTok videos, reply publicly with our 20% off code SAVE20"

It creates the rule, sets the keyword and reply, and confirms what it set.

Examples

Keywords

Keyword rules are useful for routing people to offers or information instantly. When someone comments PROMO, the reply shares your discount code; when they comment HOURS, it shares your opening times.

Example rules:

Keyword PROMO → Public reply: Here's your 20% off code: SAVE20

Keyword HOURS → Public reply: We're open Monday–Friday 9AM–6PM

Public replies can include links — great for directing people to your website, products, or booking pages.

Example rules:

Keyword EBOOK → Public reply: Grab it here: chatfuel.com/ebook

Keyword pricing → Public reply: Here's our pricing page: yoursite.com/pricing

Important Notes

Messaging Limits

TikTok limits how you can message people:

  • Comments only — you cannot DM someone based on their comment; they must message you first.
  • 48-hour window — once someone DMs you, you have 48 hours to send up to 10 messages.
  • Window resets — the 48-hour timer restarts each time they reply to you.

Regional Restrictions

  • US accounts — TikTok accounts signed up in the United States cannot connect to Chatfuel.
  • EU contacts — contacts with EU TikTok accounts will not appear in Leads, Contacts, or Chats.
