Cookping documentation
Cookping is a recipe hub and Instagram comment-to-DM assistant for food creators. You publish mobile-first recipe pages; Cookping delivers them by DM when a follower comments your keyword on a post or Reel — through Meta's official APIs, with Instagram's messaging rules enforced automatically.
How the pieces fit
- Recipe pages — every published recipe gets a fast public page with your cover photo, ingredients, steps, times, and branding. Readers don't need an account, and you control whether search engines index your pages.
- Automations — link a post or Reel to a recipe with a trigger keyword. Matching comments receive your public reply and an opening DM; a tap on its button delivers the recipe link.
- Compliance built in — the 24-hour messaging window is re-checked before every send, each follower is messaged once per comment, and follow-gating runs only after Instagram-required consent.
- Analytics — matched comments, deliveries, recipe page visits, click-through, top recipes, and email captures, per recipe and per post.
- AI recipe import — paste recipe text or a post link and get a structured draft to review instead of retyping.
- Plans by active contacts — pricing follows the unique followers you DM each month, with unlimited recipes on every paid plan.
