Help with Instagram for business responding to story comments (and or DMs)

Looking for a way to build a scenario that automates responding to Instagram story comments. I guess these are more like direct messages, but I could not see any modules for doing this.

I successfully created a scenario to respond to normal posts using the built-in modules using Instagram for business watch events + chatGPT but could not extend this to DMs.

Currently they do not have a module for that. However there is an API endpoint that lets you send a dm to someone who commented on your story. You can check out the documentation here. But unfortunately they do not have a module for Instagram that can make an API Call either.

So in order to use this endpoint you’ll need to use the HTTP module. But before you even do that you need to create a meta developer account and create a custom app that you’ll link to Make. Hope this helps!
