My DM automation is not triggering with one keyword on free account. Here is a screenshot of the automation, I am not sure why. Any ideas?

Hello
I don’t see any issues with your automation — it appears to be set up correctly. When you type the phrase "Baby Nutrition," it should trigger the automation.
Please make sure you haven’t exceeded the limits of the free plan, which allows up to 1,000 subscribed contacts and only 3 active keywords.
If you're within the limits, try refreshing your account permissions. To do this: click on Settings > select the Instagram channel > then click Refresh Permissions.
I’m also sharing a Manychat article that lists other common issues with Instagram automations. If none of the solutions above work, it might help to review the points in the article:

Hello
You are already using a more flexible option, which is “Message contains.” It works as follows: for example, if the keyword is set as “Hello” and someone sends the message “Hello, please send me more information,” the automated message will still be triggered.
However, if you set the trigger as something like “I want to buy,” and the contact only types part of it, such as “I will buy,” the automation will not be sent, because it requires the exact term “I want to buy” to work.
The best approach is to add variations, including possible misspellings in the triggers, anticipating mistakes that the user may type.
In this Manychat help article, you can better understand how keywords work:

If you have already confirmed that it is really not working, you can try updating the permissions by going to “Settings > click on the Instagram channel > click on the ‘Update permissions’ button.”
And if it still doesn’t work, you can contact the Manychat support team so they can check what is happening. At the end of the article I shared above, you will find a link to contact support.

Based on your description, it should be working. You can try deleting the trigger and activating it again. If it still does not work, I recommend contacting the Manychat support team so they can check why it is not working on your account.
