Auto-Reply When Someone Mentions You In A Story
When a fan shares your post to their story, that is free marketing. The story mention bot thanks them instantly with a DM — turning every repost into a superfan.
Why you need this
The mechanics behind the feature — and why it moves your numbers.
Story mentions are the highest-intent action a follower can take: they are publicly endorsing you to their entire audience.
Most creators never acknowledge mentions, and the ones who do reply hours later. An instant auto-reply turns a one-time sharer into a repeat advocate.
You can even reward mentions — send a discount code or freebie to anyone who shares your content, turning UGC into a growth loop.
