The Story mention trigger allows you to trigger automation when a user mentions your account in their story.

How it works:

If a user mentions your account in their story (using @), it will automatically trigger your automation.

Important! The user's account must be public, and the story must not have any restrictions. Instagram does not transmit information about stories from private accounts, so a mention from such a user will not be counted.

Also, Repost is not considered a mention: Reposting your story or post will not count as a mention of your account and will not trigger automation.

In a separate instruction, we explain how to set up the verification of reposts with a mention and issue a bonus for completing this task.

This trigger is perfect for attracting a new audience.

When users mention your account in their stories, they are recommending your account to their followers, which is a simple way to increase reach among new users.
