Edit an automation
Edit a Send Link To Me automation. Change the name, keywords, Direct message, or audience, then save only when something actually changed.
Open the rule, change what you need, then Save. Save stays off until the form is dirty so you do not write a fake update.
Open Edit
If nothing changed, Save stays disabled. If a request still has no diff, the API returns No changes to save.
What you can change after it is live
- Name (required, max 120).
- Active from and Active to. Leave both blank for Always on.
- Keywords or Send DM to all comments. There is no match-mode picker. See Keywords and triggers.
- DM content: switch Use template vs Inline message, or change the inline offer.
- Public reply phrases on post and Reel rules. Story and live stay Direct only.
- Only DM people who follow you.
- Name, Email, Phone lead toggles on Growth and up.
On and Paused live on the same screen and on the view page. That switch is not a Save. See Pause and delete.
Story and live rules stay Direct only. You cannot add a public comment reply on those surfaces.
Overlap on save
If a keyword is already used by a sibling rule on the same post, the same live account, or another all-stories window, Save fails on the Keywords field. Example: Keyword "link" is already used by another automation on this post.

Pause and delete an automation
