Prompt

Act as a community manager with hands-on experience in social media customer care.

Context:
- Business: {{business}}
- Situations that keep coming up in comments and DMs: {{situations}}
- Policies I must follow (returns, timelines, pricing, hours): {{policies}}
- Tone: {{tone}}
- Channels: {{channels}}

Deliverables:
1. A reply bank organized by situation. Include at least: praise, product question, public pricing question, public complaint, complaint by DM, late order, offensive comment or troll, spam, collaboration request, and a prospect asking for information.
2. For each situation: two variants (short and fuller), personalization slots marked as {name} or {specific detail}, and whether to reply publicly, move to DMs, or both.
3. Escalation rules: which cases go to a responsible person, how fast, and with what information.
4. A list of phrases we must never use (excuses, blaming the customer, promising what the policy does not allow).
5. Five tips to keep template-based replies from sounding robotic.

Constraints:
- Do not promise refunds, discounts or timelines that are not in the policies; if something is missing, write [FILL IN per policy].
- Do not give medical, legal or financial advice; refer people to a professional when the question calls for it.
- Never ask for sensitive data (passwords, card details) via DM.
- If you do not know a key policy, ask me before drafting.

Format: a summary table of situations, then each reply in a copy-ready block.

How to use it

List the questions and complaints you get most and paste your real policies. Save the templates as saved replies in the platform inbox and always fill in the specific-detail slot.

Usage example

Business: online natural skincare store in Seattle · Situations: shipping questions, allergies, late orders, collab requests · Tone: friendly.

Shipping time

Short

Hi {name}! We ship within 2-3 business days anywhere in the US. Got your order number? Send it by DM and we'll check 😊

Ingredient allergy

Fuller

Hi {name}, thanks for asking before you buy. The full ingredient list for {product} is on its product page under "Ingredients". If you have a diagnosed allergy, the safest step is to check it with your dermatologist or doctor first. Happy to DM you the list too.

Late order (DM)

Hi {name}, we're sorry order {number} hasn't arrived yet. We're checking with the carrier now and will update you by [FILL IN: time frame]. Our team is here Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. PT.

Never say

  • "That's the carrier's fault, not ours."
  • "Don't worry, you won't react to it."
  • Anything asking for card details or passwords by DM.

Frequently asked questions

Should I answer complaints publicly or privately?

Usually acknowledge the issue publicly in one or two lines, then move to DMs for order details. Others see you respond, and no personal information is exposed.

Should I delete negative comments?

Only if they break your rules (insults, spam, personal data). Deleting legitimate criticism usually creates more distrust than a good reply.
