How to get a redirect chain working in Netlify?

I have a _redirects file in my netlify directory structure

 /
 - site
 -- _redirects

_redirects

https://example.netlify.com/  https://www.example.com/:splat 301!
https://www.example.com/post/196 https://www.example.com/comic/post-name

Problem:

The first redirection occurs successfully, but the 2nd one returns:

Page Not found

I have followed the documentation in https://www.netlify.com/docs/redirects/ but cannot find a cause of this issue.

I note 2 potential causes mentioned in the documentation:

You can also add redirect rules to your netlify.toml file.

^^ I have not tried this, but since it reads "also" I assume using _redirects file should be sufficient.

For Jekyll, this requires adding an include parameter to config.yml.)

^^ I am not using Jekyll as far as I know, but my project does contain a config.yml file.

Solution

Solved by adding:

[[redirects]]
from = "https://www.example.me/post/196"
to = "https://www.example.me/comic/post-name"
status = 200

to netlify.toml
