How automation works in ZEPIC

Every automation has three parts:

• When should it start? (Intent-based, keyword-based, or any comment)

• What should happen after it starts? (Reply publicly, send an intro DM, follow request, collect info, etc.)

• What’s the end goal? (Send a link, recommend a product, capture leads, etc.)

1. Choose when the automation should start

Option A: Intent Detection (Recommended)

Zenie AI understands meaning - not just keywords. It can detect intents like:

• Price inquiry

• Buying intent

• Sales questions

• Support Queries

This means if someone asks about price in any wording or language, ZEPIC will automatically recognize it and trigger the automation.

Option B: Specific Keywords

Use this if you want the automation to fire only when certain exact words are used.

Option C: Any comment

Good for maximum engagement - triggers on every comment.

2. Choose what actions should happen

You can use one or several, depending on your workflow.

A. Reply to the comment

You can automatically reply publicly. Two methods:
