Grow your community from comments
Comment-driven community invite
By inro.social
What it does
Grow your community from comments by turning engagement into an invite flow that migrates users into your community. This automates DMs invites and onboarding for new members, reducing manual follow-up.
How it works
- Trigger: when a commenter uses the keywords
JOINNOW or JOIN NOW on the next post (comment keywords).
- Reply in thread: the bot replies with one of these variants: "Sent the invite to your DMs", "Check your DMs for the invite", or "Just sent it to your DMs 🙂".
- Invite surface: an inline opener button with the prompt: Want to join the community? Tap below for the invite. and a postback button labeled Send the invite that expires in 6 hours.
- Conversion step: a follow-up surface presents a link to join the community: Join the community with the title "Join the community". This conversion surface has a 2-hour expiry and a conversion_id of 23117.
- Post-click action: upon clicking, the contact is added to folder 11270 (tagged as a new member path).
- Reminder: if the link is not used and expires, a reminder message is sent: Have you checked the link yet?
When to use
- To convert comment engagement into community membership.
- To automate inviting and onboarding for new followers or members.
- To capture leads and organize new joiners via folder tagging.
Notes
- Post type: next_post; keyword options: JOINNOW, JOIN NOW.
- Variants and expiry timings are defined in the automation spec and can be adjusted as needed.
