Hi, I want to understand if this is possibile.

I want to launch a reel from my Meta Business Manager, but i don’t want to post the reel on my instagram feed. Can I set an automation from manychat linking the reel I am using for my ads without posting it on my feed? If yes, how can i do it?

I want to automate links in DM after someone writes a comment.

Thank you so much for the help anyways

The solution you gave is only if someone clicks a button on the ad and goes to a conversation with us in DM
The question is whether it is possible to connect the automation to an ad that is a reel whose trigger is a comment to the ad

Hi, ​@omeraronovitch! I've tested it a long time ago and it worked only if my Ad is a post/reel. If I create just an Ad (without posting it to my feed) it didn't worked. But I'm not 100% sure if it still works only that way at the moment.
