Auto-send links in DM not working

Have set up a very basic DM automation for testing purposes and it simply does not seem to be working for me.

Is there anything I could try troubleshooting? I’m not sure what might be causing it not to work tbh.
 

 

Hi ​@LovelyIrishAlan 
I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing issues with your DMs — I know how frustrating this can be.

Here are a few things I’d recommend double-checking:

1. Instagram permissions A quick fix that often helps is refreshing your Instagram permissions in ManyChat.
   You can do this by going to your ManyChat account and clicking Help → Refresh Permissions.
2. Follow the official IG automation troubleshooting guide
   This step-by-step guide covers several edge cases that can cause comment automations to stop firing and is very helpful for diagnosing issues like this:

3. Check for platform-wide issues
   Sometimes this is related to a temporary issue on Instagram or ManyChat’s side. You can check the current system status here:

4. One-time trigger behavior
   Just as a reminder, Instagram comment automations only trigger once per user per post. If the same user commented again, the automation would not fire a second time.

Hopefully one of these points helps you pinpoint the issue

Cheers,
