# Reply to SoundCloud comments and clear spam with an AI agent

> Your agent sorts new SoundCloud comments into fans, questions and spam, drafts a different reply for each fan and deletes promo spam after your OK.

The morning after a release, the notifications show forty new comments across three tracks. Some are fans at a favorite second of the drop, some ask for a download, and some are "follow me for free beats" links that should not stay under the waveform.

Cotlet does it in your own SoundCloud account with list\_comments, reply\_to\_comment and delete\_comment, called by your AI agent, an n8n workflow or a script.

## Can SoundCloud do this on its own?

SoundCloud offers manual tools for this job: replies on the track page, Artist Studio for Artist Pro and Quiet Mode to switch comments off (help center checked 12 Oct 2026). The public API guide documents reading and posting comments only, with no replies and no deletion (checked 11 Oct 2026).

By hand

## How you do it in SoundCloud today

1. On the web, open each track page and read the comments below the waveform, then reply directly on the waveform or on the track page.
2. SoundCloud Artist Pro creators can open Artist Studio instead, which lists comments from the whole catalog in date order.
3. To remove spam on the web, hover over the comment and click the trash can icon, then choose whether to report it as spam to SoundCloud Trust & Safety.
4. In the SoundCloud mobile app, open the full-screen player and tap Reply under a comment, or long-press it and pick Delete comment or Report comment.
5. A busy week means the same routine track by track, and the replies drift toward one copied "thanks for listening", which SoundCloud spam detection is built to catch.

With an agent

## How to reply to SoundCloud comments and clear spam with an AI agent

Prompt

```
Go through the comments on my tracks since yesterday. Draft a personal reply to each real fan, delete the promo-link spam and report it, and list anything you are unsure about.
```

1. 01  
### Read only what is new  
list\_comments runs with since set to the last run and unanswered\_only on, so a fan answered yesterday is not answered twice. Comments the authors deleted before the run simply do not appear.
2. 02  
### Sort every comment into one of four piles  
Fans reacting to the music, questions (download, stems, release date, gig), collaboration offers and spam. A comment counts as spam when it pushes a link, a promo service or "follow for follow" and says nothing about the track.
3. 03  
### Write replies that are not alike  
Each reply refers to what the fan wrote or the second of the track they marked. The agent never sends the same sentence twice in a run, because SoundCloud warns and then blocks accounts that post similar comments quickly.
4. 04  
### Remove spam with the text in front of you  
For each spam comment the agent shows the author and full text, then calls delete\_comment with report\_spam on. Deletion is permanent, so anything that looks like a real fan with a link, such as a remix of your track, goes to the unsure list instead.
5. 05  
### Stop at the first block  
If SoundCloud shows a warning or a commenting block, the agent stops posting for the rest of the run and tells you when the block ends. It does not retry, because each new hit makes the next block longer.

### What you get back

Example data

```
38 new comments on 3 tracks since Sun 11 Oct, 08:00
Replied (12): Mira K. at 1:23 on Harbour Lights, DJ Oskar on Slow Burn, ...
Questions for you (3): two ask for a free download of Night Drive, one asks about the Leipzig date
Spam deleted and reported (9): promo_bot_77, beatz.free.4u, ...
Unsure, left alone (2): a remix link from lunaverse, a booking offer from an unknown agency
No commenting warning from SoundCloud this run
```

### Other ways to ask

- Only clean up spam on Harbour Lights from the last 30 days, and do not reply to anyone.
- Draft replies to every unanswered comment on Night Drive, but post nothing until I approve the list.
- Every evening, reply to fans on tracks released this month and send me the questions you could not answer.
- Show me the five most liked comments on my new single so I can pin a thank-you post.

Before you automate it

## What SoundCloud allows, and what to know first

- SoundCloud spam detection can block commenting after many similar comments in a short time; blocks expire on their own, support cannot lift them, and each repeat block lasts longer.
- SoundCloud requires a confirmed email address before an account can comment or reply, shown as "(Not confirmed)" in Account Settings.
- SoundCloud Quiet Mode, an Artist Pro setting in the track's Permissions tab, can turn off new comments or hide existing ones from the public.
- Links inside SoundCloud comments are not clickable in the mobile app, so a link-only comment can be checked only in a web browser.
- After Replace File with a shorter version, SoundCloud keeps the comments left on the old ending in the comment list but drops their avatars from the waveform.

reply\_to\_comment and delete\_comment ask for your OK by default. To run it daily without you, switch confirmation off for those tools in your dashboard.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can a deleted SoundCloud comment be restored?

No. SoundCloud removes deleted comments permanently from every platform, which is why the agent shows each comment before delete\_comment runs.
