Comment for recipe
Last tested August 23, 2026
Use it in ShioMove a comment-for-recipe link out of your DMs and into your cookbook.
Comment as the creator asks, open the recipe link they send, then share that link with Shio. The app imports the recipe and keeps the creator's source attached so the DM is not your permanent filing system.
See it in Shio
The source comes in. A recipe goes into your cookbook.
Keep the post, page, or image attached. Use the saved copy for searching, groceries, meal planning, and cooking.
Why this gets annoying
The link arrived. That does not mean you will ever find the message again.
Comment automation is useful for creators and surprisingly bad as a personal cookbook. The recipe can sit in Instagram or Facebook DMs between order confirmations, reactions, and a message from someone you met once in 2019.
How it works
- 01
Get the creator's link
Leave the requested comment and open the direct message or reply the creator sends.
- 02
Share the destination
Send the actual recipe page or public post to Shio, not the private message thread.
- 03
Save with credit
Review the recipe and keep the creator's page or post attached as the source.
What changes
The DM did its job. Your cookbook does the rest.
Once the link reaches Shio, you can search the recipe, add groceries, schedule it, and return to the creator without hunting through messages.
In the source
In Shio
Automated DM with a recipe URL
The destination becomes the saved recipe source.
Creator page with ingredients
Ingredients and steps become a cooking copy.
Original social post
Creator context stays attached when available.
One honest caveat
Shio does not open your private messages for you.
You need to open the DM and share the public recipe link it contains. If the message includes only recipe text, take screenshots and import those instead.
Questions people ask
The useful answers.
Can Shio get a recipe directly from my Instagram DMs?
No. Open the message yourself, then share the public recipe link or upload screenshots of the recipe text.
Which link should I import?
Use the final recipe page or public post the creator sent, not the private DM thread or an Instagram inbox URL.
Will Shio keep the creator's source?
Yes. The public source you import remains attached to the recipe.
