Why is the box for Comments on your post and reel light grey and not workin?


Business

Why does my automation with reactions on my reel not work? the box is also light coloured?

Hi, ​@Business!

 

First… it is “light colored” because that trigger can only be edited if you go into the automation Edit Mode.

 

Now, I see that this trigger is already copied several times (copy 3 copy copy copy 2 copy 😅)… try creating it from scratch and test if it works.

IMPORTANT: the comment trigger only works ONE TIME per post. If you test with an Account that already triggered that automation on the same post, nothing will happen (this is a Meta limitation).

 

If it still doesn’t work, take a look at this help article and check if everything is as it should be: Instagram automation troubleshooting – Manychat Help

 

Hope this helps!!
