Comments work but DMs and Story replies don't (paid account)
Hi guys, I have had a lot of success using the free version so recently upgraded to paid. My flows are being triggered successfully in comments but not in DMs or Story replies. I have remade them, tested them with different accounts, watched the videos from others Qs and still it’s not working in DMs/stories.
I feel like it’s a facebook setting but I have been alllll over the place checking everything but there doesn’t appear to be an issue. Any help would be great. Thanks

Hey, @Reykjavik Sketcher
The template you’re using is only for comments on posts or reels. If you want to activate an automation for stories or DMs, you need to create another flow.
Using templates, you have these options:
For stories:
For DMs:
Also, you can make your own flow. For that, go to automation tab and click on “+ new automation”
Then, choose the trigger (you can add more than one):
After that, you can create a flow as you like.
Let me know if this helps
Set up, I just tested it out with another account but it didn’t trigger the flow
@rodrigo_silvano I tried the Stories template (see above) but it doesn't seem to be triggering
Hey, @Reykjavik Sketcher
Let’s check something. Refresh your account permissions: click on help button → refresh permissions.
I followed the steps but it hasn’t worked. Everything was already pointing to Manychat and I appear to be on the newer version. I really don’t know what to do. The only odd thing in Facebook is that the Messenger receiver is grey’d out and there are 2 Manychat connected apps at the top - should I remove one?
@Reykjavik Sketcher When you click on ‘View Permissions’, are all the toggle buttons activated?
If, all of this doesn’t work, at the end of the article there is a link to contact the Manychat support team.
Thank you so much for your help @rodrigo_silvano I contacted the support team and they gave me a workaround for reconnecting my facebook account and it all works now, phew!!
