To connect a Facebook ad with a comment growth tool, follow these steps:

1. Create an opt-in message at the beginning of the flow. This message should thank the user for their interest and ask for permission to ask a few questions to see if the program is a good fit or to suggest other resources.

2. Add a trigger for the comment growth tool 2.0 in the starting step of the flow.

3. Set up the post for the comment growth tool. Since this is for a Facebook ad, select the "Custom" option and find the post ID or URL of the ad.

4. To get the post ID or URL, go to business.facebook.com/content_management and select the page the ad is running under. Find the ad in the "Ads" section and copy the page ID number.

5. Back in ManyChat, paste the page ID and click "I understand" and "Select".

6. Optionally, you can add specific keywords to trigger the comment growth tool or exclude certain words.

7. Create auto-response variations to reply to comments made on the ad. You can personalize the responses using the user's first name, last name, or full name, and add emojis.

8. Ensure the content type for the first message is set to "Comment Reply", then publish the flow.

Now, when your Facebook ad goes live, the comment growth tool will be triggered, allowing you to engage with users who comment on the ad.

Now that your ad is all set up, you're going to go to the flow in which you want to send people to. We have a quick questionnaire that's going to qualify people and maybe send them to alternative resources based on their answers.

At the beginning, we're going to create an opt-in message. Since we're using a comment growth tool, we need to have this opt-in message that says "Hello [first name], thank you for your interest in my mentorship program. Do you mind if I ask you a couple questions so I can see if this is a good fit for you or I can suggest other resources and programs?" We'll also include ways for them to interact and go out to the flow.

Then, in the starting step, we're going to add a trigger. We're going to go down to the "Comment Growth Tool 2.0" and add that trigger there.

To connect your Facebook ad with the comment growth tool, follow these steps:

1. In the flow where you want to send people, create an "opt-in message" that asks for the user's permission to ask a few questions and suggest relevant resources.

2. In the starting step of the flow, add a trigger for the "Comment Growth Tool 2.0".

3. To set up the post for the comment growth tool, select "Custom" and find the post URL or ID of the ad you want to use, even if it's not live yet.

4. To get the post URL or ID, go to business.facebook.com/content_management, select the page your ad is under, and find the ad in the "Ads" section. Copy the page ID number.

5. Back in ManyChat, paste the page ID and click "I understand" to select the post.

6. You can optionally add specific keywords to trigger the comment growth tool or exclude certain words.

7. In the "Auto Response" section, you can create multiple variations of automated comments to reply to users who engage with your ad.

8. Ensure the "Content Type" is set to "Comment Reply" for the first message in the flow.

9. Publish the flow, and when your Facebook ad goes live, the comment growth tool will be triggered.

To find the post URL or ID for a scheduled ad that is not yet live, follow these steps:

1. Go to business.facebook.com/content_management. This will take you to the Content Management section of your Business Manager.
2. Select the page that the ad is set up under.
3. Click on the "Ads" tab to view your ad posts.
4. Locate the ad you want to use and click on it to preview it.
5. Copy the page ID number from the URL. This is the post ID you need to use in your ManyChat flow.
6. Head back to ManyChat, paste the post ID, and click "I understand" to select the post.

Now you can proceed with setting up your ManyChat flow to connect with the Facebook ad.

To customize the auto-response for comment replies, follow these steps:

1. In the ManyChat flow, go to the section where you have set up the comment growth tool trigger.
2. Scroll down to the "Auto Response" section.
3. Click on the "Add Comment" button to create a new comment reply.
4. You can personalize the comment by adding the subscriber's first name, last name, or full name using the available merge fields.
5. You can also add emojis to the comment to make it more engaging.
6. If desired, you can create multiple variations of the comment reply by clicking the "Add Comment" button again.
7. Once you're satisfied with the comment replies, click "Save" to apply the changes.
8. Ensure that the "Content Type" for the first message in the flow is set to "Comment Reply".
9. Finally, click "Publish" to activate the updated comment growth tool flow.

Now, when your Facebook ad goes live, the customized auto-response will be triggered for any comments made on the ad.
