How do I only reply to an IG comment without also sending a DM?

Hello!

I have the free version.    

I am trying to set up a flow that simply responds to an Instagram comment with a public comment reply.  I do not want it to send a DM.  When I set up the trigger for “respond to comment on post or reel”, it walks me through steps within the trigger itself to pick the post and set up some replies, which I have done. But then it requires me to add a second step. I don’t need or want another step but it won’t work without one.  The only second step in the flow I can see to add is “send message” and I have tried adding that and setting it to comment only, but it is sending it as a DM.

I really just want it to reply with the few replies I set up in trigger. How do I get it to do that?

thanks in advance

jean

Hi, ​@Jeand!

 

That's not possible to do… 🫠

It's probably some limitation from Meta's side, but you must always send something via DM to be abe to respond the comment.
