Ad Comment Management Explained

Interact with users engaging with paid content.

Updated this week

Agorapulse allows you to engage with users interacting with your paid content in the Inbox. Ad comments can be synced for Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok.

In order to respond to ad comments, you must first connect an ad account by following these steps. In this article we will provide more information about the following:

Please Note: The ability to sync ad comments is available depending on the subscription plan you have. If you would like to change your plan to access this feature, feel free to contact us.



How does Agorapulse sync ad comments?

To view and reply to ad comments in the Inbox, all relevant ad accounts must be connected through the Connect landing page. There is no limit to the number of ad accounts you can connect. The specific permissions required to connect ad accounts vary by social network and are detailed in this article.

Agorapulse can retrieve comments from active ads that were running up to 32 days prior to the ad account being connected. Comments are only synced for ads in Active status. After connecting a new ad account, allow 1 to 2 hours for the initial sync to complete.

Agorapulse queries the ads API regularly to sync ad comments. The frequency of these queries depends on your Agorapulse plan and the social network.

During the sync process, Agorapulse identifies ad creatives that are currently live, determines whether the associated posts are unpublished, and checks for a valid post ID. Once a post ID is confirmed, we sync the comments for each corresponding ad creative. This approach ensures a 99.9% sync success rate.

If a post was previously synced as an ad post, Agorapulse will continue syncing its comments as ad comments, even if the ad is no longer active or the ad token has been removed. This behavior also applies to boosted organic posts.

Note: If you downgrade your subscription to a tier below Professional ad comments will no longer be synced. All previously synced comments will remain in the Inbox.


Instagram Ad Comments

Agorapulse will sync ads from Instagram on the following basis (per subscription plan):

  • Professional plan: The last 300 active ads, every 4 hours

  • Advanced and Tailored plans: The last 2500 active ads, every hour

The limits for active ads are per profile. In accordance with these limits, the most recent ads will be synced. It is not possible to choose which ads are going to be synced. Once an Instagram ad has been synced, all comments made under it are synced on an hourly basis.

Note: Due to API limitations from Instagram, it is not possible to reply to comments from dynamic ads. Instagram comments from dynamic ads will still be synced to Agorapulse and may be replied to natively by clicking on the View on Instagram button.



Facebook Ad Comments

Agorapulse syncs Facebook ad comments based on your subscription plan:

  • Professional plan: Syncs up to 300 active ads per profile, every 4 hours.

  • Advanced and Tailored plans: Syncs up to 2,500 active ads per profile, every hour.

Ad sync limits apply per profile. Within those limits, the most recently active ads are synced automatically. It is not possible to manually select which ads will be synced.

Agorapulse supports syncing comments from both dynamic and non-dynamic ads, including Advantage+ ads. Comments on dynamic and Advantage+ ad posts are only synced after a new comment is posted, regardless of the ad’s original publish date. Once a sync is triggered, Agorapulse will retrieve all comments from the past 32 days related to that ad post.

Note: Syncing of ad post comments follows a rolling 32-day historical window, counted from the time a comment is posted. The Facebook API provides the ad’s original creation date, not the last update. This can cause edge cases where recently updated ads are excluded from syncing if no new comments have been posted within the 32-day window.

Only ads with the Active status in Ads Manager can be synced.

  • If an ad is Paused, Agorapulse will stop syncing its comments.

  • While paused, users can still comment on the ad post directly on Facebook, but these comments will not appear in Agorapulse.

  • Once the ad is set to Active again, Agorapulse will resume syncing and retrieve all comments (subject to your plan’s sync limits). This means you may see older comments appear in Agorapulse once the ad is reactivated.



LinkedIn Ad Comments

Agorapulse will sync LinkedIn ads every 15 minutes per profile.


All comments from sponsored content (both ads and boosted posts) will be synced after an ad account is connected. Once boosted, all subsequent comments on any type of sponsored post will be considered as ad comments. This applies even if a post is no longer sponsored. Comments made before boosting will remain as Organic and will not be designated as ad comments.

The following features are not supported for LinkedIn ad comment management in Agorapulse:

  • Sponsored messaging and text ads for LinkedIn

  • Direct Messages (DMs)


TikTok Ad Comments

Agorapulse will sync TikTok ads every 15 minutes per profile.

Once boosted, a TikTok video or post permanently becomes paid content. Any subsequent comments will then be considered TikTok ads comments and will be synced as such in the Inbox. Comments made before boosting will remain as Organic and will not be designated as ad comments.

The following features are not supported for TikTok ad comment management in Agorapulse:

  • Syncing ad comments from influencer profiles not associated with the connected profile

  • Syncing custom identity ads (ads published without using a TikTok account)
