If something does not work

  • The post does not appear: Make sure the post is recent and that you are the original author.
  • The trigger does not activate: Check whether the keyword is too generic and confirm that the latest version of the flow has been published.
  • Direct messages: Instagram requires the user to interact with the post before receiving automatic messages.

Expected result

After completing the setup, any user who comments with the configured keyword on your post will automatically receive a private Direct message containing your configured links, information, or instructions.
