The most common automation: when someone comments on a post, DM them. **Creates a draft; nothing goes out until enable_automation.** How Meta works: a DM cannot be started by the account. The only automatic door is a private reply to a comment, one per comment, within 7 days of the comment, and once the person answers the 24-hour window opens for the rest. Instagram can check whether the person follows the account (requireFollow); Facebook cannot, so requireFollow is rejected there. Threads has no DMs at all; use create_automation with comment_public_reply. Files go through media_presign first and are passed as deliver.mediaId. post can be our post id, the post's own id on the platform, a link to the post, "any" for every post, or "next" for the next post you publish (or pass automation on publish to do both in one call). Only one enabled automation per account can wait for "next" (409 next_post_taken). Order when everything is on: opening DM (message + button) -> askEmail -> requireFollow -> deliver (text, up to three link buttons, file; clicks are tracked) -> followUp if no link was clicked. openingDm:false sends deliver as the private reply itself; then requireFollow, askEmail, followUp and files are rejected because the window never opens.
