# How to manually set up reactions to stories

When someone sends a reaction or comment in response to your story, a message appears in the Clients section:

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/pF0HMABm1WOXB3lICJg5" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

First comes the message that was sent (or emoji)

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/q4yGRMFjAwLZTKgkBu74" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Then the link to the story.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/8UA1jl6QRm8NKCsnxkp9" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

If you want your bot to respond to any reaction to a specific story, you need to copy the part of the link up to the `&` symbol.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/IhFtYKw5dupoWVTHT2im" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Go to the **Builder** section and create a **Start** block or a **Trigger** block. In the **Trigger** field, paste the copied text, and in the **Response** field, enter the text that will be sent via Direct Message.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/CLGGPai9Mif5rTr8lJjM" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

If you need to configure a response to a specific word, add that word before the copied link. Enter the desired response text in the **Response** field.

If you need to set up identical reactions for any of your stories, copy the relevant part of the link and then configure the block as described above.

### Callback for a story avatar reaction

Recently, Instagram introduced the ability to use not only emojis but also an avatar as a reaction to stories:

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/JYVin3hQ5CwoWDu2agYd" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

In this case, the `instagram_reaction_to_story` callback will be received.

This requires the following settings to be enabled for your Instagram bot's channels:

* The ability to receive story reply links
* The ability to receive comments

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/4Guj4ZCNxnyaH8mMfFtG" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Then the callback will contain a link:

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/9KVzvNiYP0X75WcTYmDl" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

## Reaction to a mention in a story

When you're mentioned in stories, you get a callback like

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/qLA2WYXpmTbZdy9G2tNs" alt="" width="188"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

where a link is the link to the story you have mentioned.&#x20;

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/jOpciwzSTzgC8hJ77W4X" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

To set up responses to story mentions, go to the **Funnels** section and create a **Start** or **Fallback** block. In the **"Trigger"** field, enter **"A mention in history"**, and in the response field, write the text that will be sent via Direct Message.

You can also include images or links with the text (for example, to offer a bonus for mentioning your account).

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/M3fLNB4bEw8dM52WpxQ5" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Then, after being mentioned in the story, the user will receive a message.
