description

Build Instagram/Facebook comment-to-DM automations through the Zernio API on command. Tell Claude a post, a keyword, and the message — Claude creates the comment automation (and orchestrates a short follow-up DM "sequence") via Zernio, so you never click through a dashboard or clone workflows. Reuse it for any new post or keyword in seconds. Triggers on: "set up a comment to DM", "new keyword automation", "when someone comments X DM them", "build a comment trigger", "make a Zernio comment automation", "comment-to-DM sequence".

zernio-comment-to-dm

Turn a comment section into captured leads. When someone comments your keyword on a post, Zernio auto-DMs them — and this skill lets you set that up just by asking Claude, for any post or keyword, in seconds. No dashboard clicking, no cloning workflows.

The skill informs; the agent acts. This file gives Claude the Zernio API contract + the recipe. Claude executes with curl (or the user's HTTP tool). Always confirm with the user before creating/activating an automation (it goes live on a real audience).

What you can ask

• "When someone comments GUIDE on my latest post, DM them my free template link."
• "New automation: post <id>, keyword PRICING, DM the pricing + ask if they want a call."
• "Pause / update / delete the GUIDE automation."
• "Walk a short sequence: DM them the resource, then if they reply, ask for their email."

What Claude needs (ask the user once, then remember in-session)

1. ZERNIO_API_KEY — Authorization: Bearer <key> (zernio.com → Settings → API keys).
2. profileId + accountId — the Zernio profile + connected IG/FB account (GET /profiles, GET /accounts if unknown).
3. platformPostId — the post the automation watches (the IG/FB post ID).
4. keyword(s), the DM message, optional public comment reply.

The recipe (Claude follows this)

1. Create the comment automation (the core — native, one call)

curl -s -X POST "https://zernio.com/api/v1/automations" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ZERNIO_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "profileId": "<profileId>",
    "accountId": "<accountId>",
    "platformPostId": "<platformPostId>",
    "name": "GUIDE — free template",
    "keywords": "GUIDE",
    "dmMessage": "Hey! Here is the free template you asked for 👇 [link]. Want me to walk you through it?",
    "commentReply": "Check your DMs 📩",
    "isActive": true
  }'

Returns the automation id. From now on, every comment matching the keyword auto-DMs.

2. Reuse for a NEW post / keyword (the whole point)

Just change platformPostId, keywords, name, dmMessage and POST again. Claude can do this from one sentence — "same thing but keyword PRICING on post , DM the pricing." No cloning, no dashboard. Manage them: GET /automations, PUT /automations/{id} (pause via isActive:false), DELETE /automations/{id}, logs via GET /automations/{id}/logs?status=sent.

3. The "sequence" (follow-up DMs — Claude-orchestrated)

Zernio's automation sends ONE DM per matching comment (no native multi-step sequence). For a real sequence, the host app/agent watches the conversation and sends follow-ups:

• New replies arrive via the inbox (GET /inbox/conversations, GET /inbox/messages/{conversationId}).
• Send the next step: POST /inbox/send { "conversationId", "accountId", "message" }.
• e.g. step 1 = the resource (the automation's dmMessage), step 2 (after they reply) = "great — what's the best email to send the full thing to?", step 3 = deliver + confirm. Claude composes each step in the creator's voice; keep it short, one ask at a time.

Guardrails

• Confirm before going live. Show the user the keyword + DM + reply, get a yes, then POST.
• Never print the API key. It lives in env/the user's secret store.
• One keyword per automation (keeps it intentional); create separate automations for separate keywords/posts.
• Voice: warm, direct, human, no spam. The DM should sound like the creator.
