Automation tactics

The plays themselves: which comment turns into which DM, when a story reply should ask a question back, and how to stop a keyword firing on the post you never meant it for. Written from setups that are actually running, so you can copy one and have it live before your next post goes up.

Start with the simplest version of whatever you want to run, one keyword and one post and one link, and watch what people actually type before you add a single branch. Most of the tactics here began life as somebody's over-built automation, cut back until it worked.
