Hi everyone! I am trying to figure out how I can get more messages to my prospects after I do the “comment reply” method. 

For some reason only a handful of them go through though. 

I’ll put an image below. 

I’m trying to get people the message after the smart delay. But for some reason only a handful of them go through. Anyone know why this is? Or a better way to do follow up messaging after a comment reply?

This is not triggering because of the 24 hours rule.

You need people to interact and engage (ie send a message) after the comment reply for them to become a subscriber and be able to receive this message. If they just click the button with the URL then they won’t become a subscriber, the 24 hours window won’t open, and the 2nd message will never send.
