On Page comment created

metaAds.onPageCommentCreated starts when someone comments on, or replies to a comment on, a selected Facebook Page’s organic posts and ad posts.

automations/meta-ads-on-page-comment-created.automation.ts

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

export default automation("Answer ad comments privately", () => {
  const comment = metaAds.onPageCommentCreated({ pageId: "page-id" })
  metaAds.privateReplyToPageComment({
    commentId: comment.commentId,
    pageId: comment.pageId,
    text: "Thanks for asking! Here are the details.",
  })
})

Pass the Page ID from List Pages. Meta sends comments on ad posts through the Page that runs the ad. The Page’s own comments, comment edits, deletions, and reactions don’t start the trigger. Optional account selects a static project account binding. The event includes:

commentId, postId, and pageId
parentId, present only when the comment replies to another comment
from, with the comment author’s id and name when Meta includes them
message, plus photo or video when the comment has media
createdTime in Unix seconds
post, with post context such as statusType, permalinkUrl, and promotionStatus when Meta includes it

Meta retries deliveries; each commentId starts at most one run. The trigger needs pages_manage_metadata, pages_read_user_content, and pages_show_list. Until the app has Advanced Access, Meta only delivers activity from people with a role on the Meta app.
