Made by Ootto

Real reels, rendered by the engine

Six demonstration brands, six finished reels - the same engine that studies a niche and builds the reel actually made these, start to finish. No shot lists, no editors.

As of 2026-08-19, most Auto-DM failures come from trigger mismatch, publish state, or execution-path filtering.

1) Confirm trigger selection

From the Quick Automation setup:

  • Verify the post/reel that should trigger the automation.
  • Confirm the specific comment filter and active trigger selection.
  • Check for multiple active comment automations; execution order can matter.

If the wrong trigger is live, downstream sends do not happen.

2) Confirm flow lifecycle

  • Open the automation in Automations.
  • Ensure it is Go Live.
  • Re-open and republish once to refresh state.

3) Validate run behavior

  • Send a fresh test comment.
  • Compare Runs and Sends if Opening DM is enabled.
  • Verify any link or optional step is not filtering contacts.

If both are zero, re-check social connector permissions and trigger source.

What to send support with if still stuck

  • Automation name and ID.
  • Trigger post/reel ID.
  • Timestamped test comment.
  • Runs/Sends values at failure time.

Verified source and date
