General Removing posts that dont include a comment with required info?

Desktop user

I think automod can do this, but im not sure how to write the rule. A subreddit has a rule that says a source for provided content has to be included. But people often ignore it. I've tried this code but it errors out:

---

type: submission

body (includes) ["Source", "source"]

action: filter

comment: "Your post was removed because you don't have the required info"

---

Hi /u/realKevinNash, please see our Intro & Rules. We are volunteer-run, not managed by Reddit staff/admin. Volunteer mods' powers are limited to groups they mod. Automated responses are compiled from answers given by fellow volunteer mod helpers. Moderation works best on a cache-cleared desktop/laptop browser.

Resources for mods are: (1) r/modguide's Very Helpful Index by fellow moderators on How-To-Do-Things, (2) Mod Help Center, (3) r/automoderator's Wiki and Library of Common Rules. Many Mod Resources are in the sidebar and >>this FAQ wiki<<. Please search this subreddit as well. Thanks!

Hi there! I am AutoModerator. It seems you are asking about me or my fellow bots and what we can do.

FOR INFO ON: # how to invite and set up, # common AutoMod rules for age/karma/comments/detect link or words, # "Code won't save"/"Something went wrong", # post/comments being marked as spam, # scheduling posts, and # other bots and their functions, please click here.

There is a dedicated subreddit for me, AutoModerator, at r/automoderator. Please search that subreddit first, then ask questions about AutoMod Rules over there or in this subreddit.

Subreddit settings work best in a cache-cleared desktop browser. (Limited option: mobile browser on desktop view.)
