Commenting settings decide which posts reach your feed, which ones you see first, and how often Extrovert comments on the same person. Each campaign has its own set.

There are three ways in, and all three open the same settings:

There is no Save button. Every change is saved as you make it. If a value is refused, the setting stays on screen with the problem highlighted, and nothing else is saved until you fix it.

Prospect campaigns and topic campaigns get different settings. Everything below is for a prospect campaign unless it says otherwise, and topic campaigns are covered at the end.

This decides whether you review comments or Extrovert publishes them for you.

Switching to Auto asks you to confirm. Once it is on, you set how many comments go out per day and the hours they can go out in.

The daily number starts at 10 and the minimum is 1. Extrovert varies it by up to 3 each day so the pace looks natural. Your account's own daily limit still applies on top, counting manual and automatic comments together, so two campaigns set to 20 each will not produce 40 comments if your account allows fewer.

Turning Auto off does not cancel comments that are already scheduled. They stay in Pending and still publish. Cancel them there if you do not want them.

This decides which posts come first once everything else has been filtered. Pick the one that matches what you want from the campaign.

The default is Newest first.

Finish warm-up first only works if the campaign has something to count towards. It stays greyed out until warm-up is on with a comment target, which you set on the Outreach tab. If it is already selected and you later turn warm-up off, the campaign tells you to set warm-up up again or pick another strategy. Prospects with no warm-up target at all come after every prospect that has one.

One rule sits above whichever strategy you pick: prospects you marked as important come first. Marking someone important changes the order only. It does not skip your filters, your commenting pace, or anything else on this page.

A person's own posts are preferred over posts they are only likely to see, but that is a tie-break rather than a hard rule. Under Newest first, a fresher post they are likely to see can still come up before an older post of their own.

This controls how often the same person can come up. It works by hiding, not by blocking: after you comment on someone, their other posts are hidden from this campaign's feed for a number of days.

The switch is off by default, which means every new post a person makes can appear straight away. Turn it on and set the number of days, from 1 to 60. The starting value is 3.

Separately from this setting, Extrovert only ever offers you one post per person at a time. Once you approve a comment for someone, no further post of theirs comes up until that comment has been published.

This is the setting that makes a prospect quietly disappear from a campaign, so it is worth understanding before you turn it on. It is off by default, and it only works while the pace switch above is on.

You set how many published comments count as enough, using either or both of two counters:

Each counter has its own switch and its own number, from 1 to 10, starting at 3. Only published comments count. Drafts, skipped comments and reactions do not.

The two counters are an either-or, not a total. If both are on, whichever one is reached first triggers the change. They are never added together.

Then you choose what happens next:

The campaign shows you the result of your choices as a plain sentence at the bottom of the section, so you can check you got what you meant.

Stopping a prospect is not permanent and nothing is deleted. The rule is applied fresh every time the feed loads, so turning the setting off, raising the number, or switching to Keep going at a slower pace brings that person's posts back on the next load.

Two things to expect:

The count is per campaign and covers the whole life of that campaign. The same person in two campaigns is counted separately in each.

A counter you cannot reach. If you set a threshold on posts the prospect is likely to see, but the campaign is not commenting on those posts at all, that counter never moves and never triggers anything. The campaign warns you when this happens. Either turn on Comment on posts they are likely to see or rely on the other counter.

Stopping before outreach is ready. This setting and the warm-up target on the Outreach tab count the same comments but do different things. If your threshold here is lower than your warm-up target, the campaign changes pace or stops before warm-up finishes, and outreach may never start. The campaign flags the overlap but still lets you save it, because sometimes that is what you want.

Some prospects rarely post but read plenty. With this on, Extrovert also finds posts from people your prospect interacts with, so your comment lands in front of them without them having to post anything themselves.

It is off by default. There is more detail in reaching prospects who don't post. This is a plan feature, and the switch is greyed out with an upgrade option if your plan does not include it.

Only posts newer than this reach your feed. The range is 1 to 30 days and the starting value is 28.

Lower it when you want to arrive early on fresh posts, which matters most for visibility. Raise it when your prospects post rarely and you would otherwise have an empty feed. Posts older than 30 days leave the feed on their own regardless of this setting.

Pick the categories you do not want to comment on and matching posts are filtered out. Nothing is excluded by default, and you cannot exclude all of them.

The categories are: Thought leadership, General business issues or news, Company news or achievements, Offline events, Online events, Social issues and charity, Self promotion, Job-related, Personal life blog or achievements, Politics, Comment X to get Y, Extra sensitive, and Other topics.

Most people exclude Politics, Extra sensitive and Comment X to get Y, because a thoughtful comment adds little there and can cost you more than it gains.

One thing to know before you use this: a post Extrovert has not been able to classify is filtered out too, as soon as you exclude anything at all. Excluding one category is not free, so exclude what you mean and no more.

Two choices:

Topics live in your account settings and are shared by every campaign, so you write them once and reuse them. See topics campaigns and AI topic filtering for how to write good ones.

Switching to Only my custom topics with no topics selected picks all of them for you. If you have not created any topics yet, the campaign offers to take you there. This is a plan feature.

Heavy posters can take over a feed. With this on, only the newest few posts per person stay active and the rest move to Skipped.

It is on by default and keeps the newest 3 posts per prospect. The range is 1 to 10.

Posts moved this way are not lost. You can bring any of them back with Move back for approval in the Skipped tab. Two things are worth knowing: the rule keeps running, so a post you bring back and then leave alone is moved out again on the next pass, and the change applies everywhere that post appears for this LinkedIn account, not only in this campaign.

If you approve several comments for the same person in one sitting, this spaces out when they actually publish so the activity does not look mechanical.

It is off by default. Turn it on and set the minimum gap, from 1 to 168 hours, starting at 24. This is a plan feature.

It changes timing only. A comment held back this way still counts towards your daily limit on the day it actually publishes.

If you work from Main Feed, this decides how much of it this campaign takes: Low, Normal or High. New campaigns start at Normal.

It only affects how often this campaign comes up next to your others. It never changes the order of posts inside the campaign, and it does nothing while the campaign is in Auto mode.

A topic campaign follows subjects rather than named people, so the settings that describe a relationship do not apply. It has:

Minimum reactions is the one setting that is unique to topic campaigns. It comments only on posts that already have a certain number of reactions in total, so your comment reaches an audience that has already gathered. It is off by default, and the range is 1 to 50 starting at 10.

Raise it if you want visibility on posts that are already busy. Lower it, or switch it off, if your feed is coming up thin. It counts all reactions, not just likes.

There is no sorting choice on a topic campaign because there are no prospects to order. Its feed is always newest post first. There is also no per-prospect pace, no indirect commenting, no custom topic filter and no per-prospect post limit.
