My ig comment auto reply was working great on all my posts but suddenly stopped working. My DM automations are still working fine but comments have stopped and ive put in a ticket and refreshed all settings with their instructions and still nothing. Anyone care to help?

 

Link to automation:

Hi!

 

The issue in this automation is the lack of a Comment Response DM.
Meta doesn't allow just to create an automation that responds to the comment without sending a DM to the IG user.

This means you must build something link this:

You don't need to add a button or quick reply in the message block, just plain text is ok.

And the firs message step must be set as Private Reply (in some cases it can appear as Comment Reply)

 

Once the message step is added, the automation should work as expected.

can’t see much from the link you shared.. want to send a full print? or maybe connect on a call and share your screen?

It looks fine to me.. try not to send public replies.. also, would you send the link of a reel so I can comment on it?

silly question to all.. did you changed your password? 

I had a client with this issue before.. she changed it.. so we had to go through settings again to connect IG

@Digitalmateus Nope. Anyway, in my case, it only happens with some users, like randomly. Some are answered, some are not

Hey guys, i have a different but related problem. Set up a new account but somehow public replies to comments is not able to be changed to “yes”, it’s a default “no” and greyed out. On desktop it says the administrator hasn’t given permissions but can’t figure out what permissions as I followed the instructions. Any idea??
