# ReplyAgent Platform Help

## Step 1 — Gather context

If `references/learnings.md` exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.

Ask the user:

1. **What do you need help with?**
   - A) Setting up subreddit monitoring and targeting
   - B) Improving AI comment quality (too generic, too polished)
   - C) Managing posting volume and moderation risk
   - D) Google-ranking post discovery for SEO engagement
   - E) API integration (importing posts, approving comments)
   - F) Tracking ROI with UTM parameters
   - G) Enterprise setup or volume pricing
   - H) Something else — describe it

2. **How are you using ReplyAgent?**
   - A) Just started (free trial credits)
   - B) Active — pay-per-post ($3/comment)
   - C) Enterprise plan
   - D) Evaluating — haven't signed up yet

3. **What's your goal?**
   - A) Lead generation (find people asking for solutions)
   - B) Brand awareness (participate in relevant discussions)
   - C) SEO engagement (comment on Google-ranking Reddit threads)
   - D) Competitive monitoring (track competitor mentions)

**If the user's request already provides context, skip to Step 2.**

## Step 2 — Route or answer directly

- Multi-platform monitoring (not just Reddit) → `/sales-social-listening [question]`
- Reddit monitoring with your own accounts and auto-publish → `/sales-keymentions [question]`
- Reddit monitoring with REST API/MCP across 13+ platforms → `/sales-octolens [question]`
- Reddit lead gen with buyer intent classification → `/sales-subredditsignals [question]`
- Reddit + Twitter AI replies with your own accounts → `/sales-replyguy [question]`
- Reddit lead gen with Chrome extension DM automation → `/sales-redreach [question]`
- Social listening tool comparison → `/sales-social-listening which tool should I pick`

Otherwise, answer directly from the platform reference below.

## Step 3 — ReplyAgent platform reference

**Read `references/platform-guide.md`** for the full platform reference — capabilities, pricing, API endpoints, managed accounts, comment quality tuning, UTM setup.

Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.

## Step 4 — Actionable guidance

Focus on the user's specific situation:

1. **Subreddit targeting** — start with 3-5 focused subreddits, expand only after validating comment quality
2. **Comment quality** — provide detailed product descriptions and tone guidelines; review and personalize AI drafts before approving
3. **Volume management** — ReplyAgent caps at 5 comments per managed account per day; keep volume low to avoid mod attention
4. **SEO plays** — target Google-ranking posts for long-tail traffic; these threads get sustained visibility
5. **ROI tracking** — use UTM parameters on every link; track conversions in Google Analytics

If you discover a gotcha or tip not covered in `references/learnings.md`, append it there.

## Gotchas

*Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about managed accounts and moderation risk.*

- **You don't control the posting accounts.** ReplyAgent uses managed accounts you don't own. You can't build karma, post history, or community reputation on these accounts.
- **Moderators can still remove posts.** Managed accounts reduce ban risk to YOUR account, but subreddit moderators can remove any comment. The 30-day warranty refunds credits for removed posts.
- **No webhooks or real-time notifications via API.** The API only supports importing posts and approving comments. No push notifications — rely on email digests for monitoring.
- **Pay-per-post adds up.** At $3/comment across 10 subreddits with daily posting, expect ~$450-900/month. Budget carefully.
- **AI comments need input quality.** Vague product descriptions produce vague comments. Write specific, detailed descriptions with use cases and differentiators.
- **Reddit-only platform.** Does not monitor X, LinkedIn, HN, or other platforms. Pair with another tool for multi-platform coverage.

## Examples

### Example 1: AI comments sound too generic
**User says**: "ReplyAgent's comments all start with 'Great question!' and don't mention my product's specific features"
**Skill does**:
1. Reads platform guide for comment quality tuning
2. Checks product description setup — likely too vague
3. Suggests writing a detailed product description with 3-5 specific use cases, target customer language, and unique differentiators
4. Recommends reviewing and editing AI drafts before approving — treat them as first drafts, not final posts
**Result**: Comments become more specific and authentic after better input context

### Example 2: Import posts via API for custom workflow
**User says**: "I found Reddit posts through my own monitoring and want to import them into ReplyAgent for comment generation"
**Skill does**:
1. Reads platform guide API section
2. Shows Import Comment endpoint: POST with Bearer auth, array of Reddit URLs
3. Walks through generating an API key from the dashboard
4. Notes imported posts appear in preview state — still need manual approval before posting
**Result**: Custom monitoring pipeline feeding into ReplyAgent's managed posting

### Example 3: Posts getting removed by moderators
**User says**: "Half my ReplyAgent comments get removed within a day — what am I doing wrong?"
**Skill does**:
1. Reads platform guide for moderation risk management
2. Reviews subreddit selection — some subreddits aggressively remove promotional content
3. Suggests reducing volume per subreddit, targeting question-style threads, and ensuring comments add genuine value before mentioning products
4. Notes the 30-day warranty refunds credits for removed posts
**Result**: Better subreddit and thread selection reduces removal rate

## Troubleshooting

### Comments getting removed by moderators
**Symptom**: Many comments disappear within hours or days of posting
**Cause**: Subreddits have anti-promotional rules, comment sounds too promotional, or volume too high in one community
**Solution**: Review which subreddits remove comments most. Drop subreddits with strict self-promotion rules. Ensure comments lead with genuine help before any product mention. Reduce to 1-2 comments per subreddit per day. ReplyAgent's 30-day warranty refunds credits for removed posts.

### Low conversion despite high comment volume
**Symptom**: Lots of comments posted but UTM tracking shows minimal clicks or conversions
**Cause**: Targeting low-intent threads, comments lack compelling CTAs, or UTM links are buried
**Solution**: Focus on threads where users explicitly ask for recommendations or solutions. Ensure the product mention includes a clear benefit statement. Check that UTM parameters are properly configured in Google Analytics. Target Google-ranking posts for sustained traffic vs ephemeral real-time threads.

### API import not generating previews
**Symptom**: POST to Import Comment returns success but no preview comments appear
**Cause**: Reddit URLs invalid, posts too old, or product context not
