Hi! I have several automations set to send info if someone comments with the word “plan” or “plans” but it’s sending people who comment “plant”. How do I fix that?

I don’t have that feature on my site :( I even tried to create a new automation to see if I could set it up without the T and I still don’t have it...

I see… you’re probably using the “Quick Automation” for DM from Comments:

 

This type of automation doesn’t have this “feature”:

 

You must use the classic flow builder to get this trigger options. There’s a template for that, or you can start an automation from scratch (Start with a blak):

 

 

Hope this helps!!
