How Automations Work

Automations in Botyoo are built around a simple trigger → action model. When a trigger condition is met, Botyoo executes the configured actions automatically.

Triggers

A trigger is the event that starts your automation. Available triggers:

Trigger	Description
Comment contains keyword	Fires when someone comments with a specific word or phrase
Story mention	Fires when someone mentions you in their story
DM received	Fires when a new direct message arrives
Post like	Fires when someone likes a specific post

Actions

Actions are what Botyoo does when a trigger fires:

• Send DM, Send a private message to the person who triggered the automation
• Reply to comment, Post a public reply under the comment
• Add to sequence, Enroll the contact in a follow-up message sequence
• Tag contact, Add a label to the contact for filtering later

Automation Status

Each automation has one of these statuses:

• Active, Running and processing triggers
• Paused, Exists but not processing
• Draft, Saved but never activated

Limits and Cooldowns

To stay within Instagram’s messaging policies, Botyoo applies a cooldown per contact, the same person won’t receive the same automated message more than once per 24 hours unless you explicitly configure otherwise.
