Troubleshooting

My automation isn't replying to comments

A checklist for when a comment gets no reply and no DM.

1 min read

Go through these in order. Most cases are solved by the first three.

  1. 1Is the reel Live? Open it from Reels. The switch at the top must say Live, not Off. Draft reels ignore comments.
  2. 2Does the comment contain your keyword? With keywords set, other comments are ignored on purpose. See Keyword triggers.
  3. 3Is Instagram connected? The top bar should show your @username with a green dot. If it says Connect Instagram, reconnect from Settings.
  4. 4Did you comment from your own account? Your own comments are ignored, so ReplyAmigo never replies to itself. Test from a second account.
  5. 5Was it a reply inside a thread? Replies to other comments (including to ReplyAmigo's reply) are ignored. Only top-level comments trigger the flow.
  6. 6Was the comment made before you went Live, or while disconnected? Those aren't replayed later. Use Comments from before setup.
  7. 7Busy reel? Instagram allows 750 first DMs per hour per account. Check the DMs this hour bar in the sidebar.

Still stuck? Use the assistant at the bottom-right, or message us.
