My ManyChat Comment Trigger is Not Working

My IG Manychat automation isn’t working. Below is the flow.

It was working until late afternoon yesterday and now it’s not responding to people’s comments even though they spelled it correctly.

I refreshed permissions and it said it was connected with no issues.

I did connect the Stan.Store auto dm feature on instagram and thought that may be why, so I disabled and removed that connection there.

But the trigger still doesn’t work.

Does anyone know why?

Hi ​@soccer96 

A few things worth checking:

First, after disconnecting Stan.Store, refresh your permissions in Manychat again - just removing the connection on Stan's side isn't always enough. Go to Settings → Instagram and hit update Instagram Permissions one more time.

Second - there's a known issue flagged in the Manychat community right now about delays and failures with Instagram automations (you can see the pinned banner). 

What to do right now: test the trigger yourself - go in with a second account and type the keyword. If it doesn't work even, the issue is almost certainly the connection or Meta.
If that's the case, contact Manychat support directly: https://help.manychat.com/hc/en-us/p/get_support_page
