On Instagram mention created

metaAds.onInstagramMentionCreated starts when someone @mentions a selected Instagram professional account in a media caption or a comment.

automations/meta-ads-on-instagram-mention-created.automation.ts

import { automation, sendEmail } from "automate.ax"
import { metaAds } from "automate.ax/meta-ads"

export default automation("Email Instagram mentions", () => {
  const mention = metaAds.onInstagramMentionCreated({
    instagramAccountId: "instagram-account-id",
  })
  sendEmail({ subject: "New Instagram mention", text: mention.mediaId })
})

Find instagramAccountId with List Instagram accounts. The account must be linked to a Facebook Page the connection manages. Meta sends no notification when the media’s owner is private, and story mentions arrive as Instagram messages instead. Optional account selects a static project account binding. The event includes instagramAccountId, mediaId, occurredAt in Unix seconds, and kind. kind is caption for a caption mention or comment for a comment mention; comment mentions also include commentId. A mention on another account’s media isn’t readable with Get Instagram comment; Meta exposes it through the Instagram account’s mentioned_comment field. The trigger needs the same permissions as On Instagram comment created.
