Once your AI app is connected, just type your request in everyday language. The AI app works out the steps it needs in dibales.ai, then shows you the result. The examples here use the agent Kopi Senja.

Not connected yet? Follow Connect to Claude, ChatGPT, or Claude Code first.

Getting the result you want

  1. Name the agent, such as "for the Kopi Senja agent", if you have more than one agent. If you don't, the AI app usually asks first.
  2. Name the account and the time. dibales.ai uses Western Indonesia Time (WIB, UTC+7), so give times in WIB.
  3. Ask for a draft or a preview first. For posts, ask it to "save as a draft". For automations, ask it to "create it paused" or "check it without saving". Once the result looks right, ask for it to go live.
  4. Check the result in the dashboard before it goes live. The AI app usually includes a link to the post or automation in the dashboard.

Examples: Post Scheduler

The target accounts must already be connected in Connect Post Scheduler Accounts.

  • Which accounts are connected to Post Scheduler on the Kopi Senja agent?
  • Create a draft post for Kopi Senja's Facebook and Threads with the caption "Palm sugar milk coffee, 2 cups for just Rp30,000. Today only!"
  • Schedule that draft for 07:00 WIB tomorrow.
  • Show Kopi Senja's posts that failed to publish this week, with the reasons.
  • Cancel the post scheduled for Saturday.

Keep in mind:

  • Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Pinterest need a photo or video. YouTube also needs a title, and Pinterest needs a board. An Instagram or Facebook story takes exactly one photo or video.
  • Photos and videos can only be uploaded through Claude Code (or another AI app that can run commands on your computer). The limits: JPG, PNG, or WebP photos up to 10 MB, and MP4 or MOV videos up to 90 MB.
  • In Claude and ChatGPT, ask the AI app to save the post as a draft first (a draft can have no media). Then open that draft in Post Scheduler, add the photo or video, and schedule it from there. See Manage Posts.
  • A post that's published right away can't be cancelled. The AI app only publishes right away when you clearly ask it to.
  • Cancelling a draft deletes it. A cancelled scheduled post won't be published. Posts that are sending or already published can't be cancelled.
  • The full content requirements per platform are in Create & Schedule Posts.

Examples: automations

The Instagram, TikTok, or WhatsApp account must already be connected in Connect Your Accounts.

Instagram (Comment to DM)

  • Create a Comment to DM automation called "Kopi Senja Menu" on Kopi Senja's Instagram for all posts: when someone comments "MENU", reply to the comment with "Check your DMs!", then send a DM with a "See the menu" button to https://kopisenja.id/menu. Create it paused for now.
  • Show Kopi Senja's Instagram automations that are running.
  • Start the "Kopi Senja Menu" automation. (after you've checked it in the dashboard)
  • Pause the "Kopi Senja Menu" automation.

TikTok

  • Create a TikTok automation for Kopi Senja that replies to "MENU" comments on all videos with "The full menu is at the link in our bio!"
  • Create a TikTok DM automation: when someone sends the DM "MENU", reply with the menu.

TikTok doesn't allow sending a DM from a comment. So a TikTok comment automation only replies in the comments, and a DM automation only replies to DMs.

WhatsApp (Pro plan only)

  • Create a WhatsApp automation for Kopi Senja: when someone sends "catalog", reply "Hi! Here's the Kopi Senja catalog" and then send the catalog image from the Library.

Images for automation messages can come from the agent's Library. Upload the image to the Library first, then mention its name in your request. In Claude Code, JPG or PNG images up to 3 MB can also be uploaded straight from your computer.

Keep in mind:

  • A keyword can't be the same as another automation's keyword on the same platform and trigger.
  • Instagram: each account can have only one automation for the next post, one for story mentions, and one running Live automation.
  • WhatsApp: only one automation per agent can reply to every message.
  • Features that are Pro-only in the dashboard are Pro-only through the AI app too.
