After selecting your Facebook page and post, you can select different filters for comments and users. Each filter is explained below.
Add comment replies
If you enable this option, comment replies are included in the export. For each reply, you will see the parent comment ID. By default, comment replies are excluded from the comment export.
Filter duplicate users
If the filter is enabled, we will exclude all comments made by the same user except for their first comment. We use a unique Facebook user ID to identify the user.
Filter comments by mentions / tagged friends
If you select this option, a single comment must mention a minimum number of friends to be included in the export. You can set the threshold to up to 10 friends mentioned.
Filter comments by words or hashtags
If you enable this filter, an extra text field will appear, allowing you to enter specific text, a hashtag, or an answer. A comment must contain this entered text to be included in the export.
Filter comments by date
When you enable this filter, two additional fields will appear, allowing you to input a start and end date. To be included in the export, comments must fall within the specified start and end date.
Filter comments by like count
When you enable this filter, an additional number field will appear, allowing you to input a minimum number of likes. To be included in the export, comments must have at least received this number of likes.
A comment must contain a photo
If this checkbox is enabled, a comment must include an image uploaded by the Facebook user. A Facebook sticker or GIF does not count as an image.
