First Comments, Auto-Reposts, and Auto-Likes
Overview
We support the ability to schedule automatic first comments and reposts from LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook to boost engagement. We also support automatic likes from LinkedIn. This is an easy way to increase distribution on posts.
You can also set a time delay of up to 12 hours on each auto-engagement. There is no limit to how many comments and reposts you can use per post, though we recommend a max of 3-4 auto-engagements per post.
To create a post engagement, go to the Auto Engagement tab:
Note: Setting auto-engagements from an account different than the posting account is only available on Standard plans.

How should I use this feature?
Common ways we see this used include employee advocacy (having founders and key employees amplify content from their personal profiles) as well as engagement hacks like including any links in the first comment on LinkedIn.
What accounts can I use for auto-engagement?
You can use any account connected to Assembly (except for with Instagram first comments - see table above).
