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!!
