Being able to send followers a message when they leave a comment is nice, but it would be much more valuable if the reward was only unlocked if they share the reel/post as a story to their followers!
Hey
It’s from a couple years ago, but this still works perfectly!
I’m the person who created this logic mentioned in the case study, feel free to DM me if necessary.
Hi Gustavo -
I’m not seeing a “Story Mentions Trigger” as an option. The only trigger for stories is “User replies to your story”.
Maybe that option used to exist but has been removed for some reason?
Hey
“User replies to your story” is the one you’re looking for ;)
I’m sorry but I don’t think that’s correct. Replying to a story is much different than sharing a reel as a story to their own feed. I need something that can boost virality. Story replies does not do that.
Hey
If you go to Settings > Instagram you’ll see the ‘Story Mention Reply’ option.

This is what we used on the case study.
So, if the user creates a story on their IG (has to be a story, not a reel), AND they mention your account, then you can trigger this automation.
Amazing, thank you!!
Hey
Yes
You can tag whoever got the message, and before sending it you add a condition that checks if the person has the tag or not.
How do I add a condition before the message is sent? Based on the builder, it looks like its only possible to add a condition as a next step after the first message.
Like this:

If you ever want to discuss strategies or need help settings these things up lmk that I also do consulting and am also an agency ;)
much appreciated!!
