Comments

Send private reply

Send a private message to the author of a comment. Supported on Instagram and Facebook only. One reply per comment, must be sent within 7 days. Optionally attach interactive elements: quickReplies (chips above the keyboard, max 13) or buttons (1-3 inline postback/url buttons rendered in the same bubble via Meta's button_template). Buttons are recommended for cold reach since chips do not render in the Instagram Message Requests folder. quickReplies and buttons are mutually exclusive.
