Hi everyone,

I'm currently using the free plan of ManyChat and have connected my Instagram account properly.

I recently posted a reel on Instagram and set up a Comment to DM automation (consisting of only 1 keyword). The idea is that if someone comments a specific keyword, they should receive a DM automatically. Please refer to the screenshots below:

 

 

However, the automation doesn't seem to be working. Here's what I've tried so far:

  • Removed and reconnected my Instagram account

  • Refreshed all permissions in ManyChat

Still, nothing works.

Also, something strange is happening. When someone comments just the keyword, I can see that the post has more comments (the number increases), but when I check the actual comments, they don’t show up. It looks like there are no comments even though the count has gone up. Please refer to the screenshots below:

Can someone help me figure out:

  1. Why the automation isn’t triggering?

  2. Why the comments are hidden when the keyword is used alone?

 

Thank you.

Hey, ​@creatorxchai 

Have you tried to change the keyword?

Regarding the hidden comments, it’s on Meta’s side.
