Hello, how are you? I have an Instagram account, and I want to send a DM automatically whenever someone comments on one of my posts. I set up the automation in ManyChat correctly because I’ve done this before for other clients, but it’s not working.

It does send the reply to the comment, but it doesn’t send anything via DM. What could be the issue?

In the Facebook settings page:
https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=advanced_messaging
ManyChat appears there on top, but when I go to select the recipient for Instagram, I don’t see the ManyChat option. What could be happening?

Also, my account is on a trial plan. Could this be affecting it?

I have this same question. I set up a few automations to send a DM to the prospect when they comment a cettain word. I keep testing it and it is not working. I am also on a non paid plan currently. Could that be why the automations are not working for me?

Yes, you need to upgrade your account to Pro to use comment automation @felipestoker @TMG Eyes On Finances.
