Sending multiple messages after Comment Reply

Hi! I’m new to ManyChat and struggling with my first automation. I want to respond to users’ comments with a DM. For instance, if users comment “BOOKPREORDER” I will send them a Comment Reply with a button linking to preorder my book.  But I also want these users – who comment BOOKPREORDER – to have the option to sign up for my newsletter. Is it possible to send a second message AFTER my initial Comment Reply that has a new link? 

 

For some reason it seems like Comment Replies can only lead to an action, not to a second message! 

 

Would appreciate any help and insight. Thank you!

Hey, ​@manychatqs 

When you use the trigger “user comments on your post or reel”, the first blocks message can’t have a button with a link, because the 24-hour window will not open, and the further block won’t be sent.

 

That said, your first block message should include text and a simple button/quick reply. Something like a welcome message.


After the second block, you can add another blocks to send content or ask for user’s information to subscribe your newsletter.

Here’s an article that explain how it works: https://help.manychat.com/hc/en-us/articles/14281316989724-Instagram-Post-and-Reel-Comments-Trigger

 

Let me know if this helps 🙂
