IG Business: watch public user media and create a comment

Questions & Answers

Hello,
I set the trigger “watch public user media” for Instagram business.
I established a connection with my business account.

Then I also have to select a page. What page? I some of mine business pages, so I selected the same account as the connection.

I entered the username I wanna watch. For testing I entered the IG name of my girlfriend.

When I test the scenario with create a comment (IG Business) I get this:

DataError

Unsupported post request. Object with ID ‘1795659089xxxxxxx’ does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at Graph API - Documentation - Meta for Developers (100, GraphMethodException)

If I watch my insta I can create a comment with this scenario, but who wanna comment his own post?!
I wanna create a post on the watched ig name.

What am I doing wrong?

cheers

So the question is: Does „Get Media“ only works for own content/media? Or also for public Media?

I found this: Access Verification - Meta App Development - Documentation - Meta for Developers

I’ll go this long way
