I'm trying to understand how ManyChat handles overlapping Instagram triggers. Here's the situation:

  • I have one trigger set to fire on all Instagram post comments.

  • I have another trigger set to fire on a specific Instagram post.

  • Both triggers use the same keyword.

  • A user comments with that keyword on the specific post.

In this case, what happens?

  • Does ManyChat run both flows?

  • Or does it only trigger one, and if so, which one takes priority?
