# Reply publicly to a comment — Instagram DM and comments

Botize method — `instagram_messaging.reply_comment` (action).

Publish a public reply under a comment on one of your posts or reels. Typically used together with the private reply: the link goes by DM and the public reply just says you have sent it.

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `comment_id` *(string)* — Comment Id
- `reply_text` *(string)* — Reply

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{reply_id}}` *(text)* — Reply Id
