Ask and troubleshoot

Hi everyone – I’m building an AI-powered Instagram DM assistant in ManyChat (Pro plan) for a coffee shop, and I need help bypassing the built-in “Default Reply” greeting so that the very first customer message goes directly into my ChatGPT action. Here’s what I’ve set up and where I’m stuck:  1) What I’ve Built  Automation type: Instagram Default Reply (Automations → Basic → Default Reply) Trigger: User sends a Direct Message Canvas flow:   Default Reply (pink card that says “Hey, how can I help you?”) AI Step (ChatGPT integration with my full FAQ-style context & system prompt) Send Message ({{response}})  This consistently returns perfect context-driven answers… but only after the user sees the greeting and has to re-ask their question.  2) The Problem  First DM: User writes “What milk do you offer?” → Bot replies “Hey, how can I help you?” Second DM: User must repeat “What milk do you offer?” → Bot finally returns “We have Whole, Oat, Almond, Soy, Coconut…”  I

many chat responde a las automatización pero los mensajes no aparecen en el chat en vivo que puede ser ?

A conta associada ao meu perfil não aparece quando logo no PC, mas aparece no app do ManyChat. Como resolver para aparecer também no PC? Esta conta foi criada há alguns meses e não utilizei recentemente.

I recently launched a load of new automations for a client - and they have absolutely flown, which is amazing!BUT - this has left them with the issue of having so many messages in Live Chat that they are struggling to sort the DMs from automation from the ones that are manually sent.They need to be able to quickly respond to people who manually send them a question - but these are being lost among the sheer amount of automated conversations.How can we filter Conversations where the last interaction was a manual activity, NOT an automated one?

This is month 2 of my automations not working. I have 3 profiles on my account all automation stopped working out of no where. I setup Comment Keyword, select post etc its live 20 ppl commented and nothing went to them nor did they get the auto reply in the comment section. everything was working fine for the past year. Now im paying and no automation. I refreshed the profile numerous times and i believe i made sure manychat has all permissions toggled on for facebook permission. Please Help!!!

Estou com  duas automações rodando no ManyChat,já tentei de tudo pra outra automação parar e rodar só a que eu quero mas não tive sucesso,já abri ticket e não obtive resposta,alguém pode me ajudar?

Hi everyone! I need some help with a sudden issue.I’ve always been able to upload PDF files (and other file types) to my WhatsApp automations on ManyChat but today, I’m getting this error message:“File type not allowed. You can upload: aac, mpeg, mp3, ogg, mp4, 3gpp, gif.”I’ve already tried switching browsers, computers, and even internet networks, but the problem persists.It seems like something changed from yesterday to today. Has anyone else experienced this?Could it be a temporary bug or a recent update?

We're attempting to use a Custom User Field (e.g. User_Question) in a webhook body using the + Add a Field feature within the "Edit Request" screen. However, when the variable is inserted, it does not auto-wrap with double quotes or curly braces ({{ }}), which causes the JSON to become invalid. Even when manually adding the correct format ("{{User_Question}}"), the system either strips the quotes/brackets or continues showing Invalid JSON. We've followed all official instructions, but the variable remains unrecognized and the request fails to trigger the webhook correctly.Help as the manychat Helpdesk are asleep at the wheel 

Olá, boa tarde. Tudo bem com vocês?Recentemente minha esposa que entende mais deste mundo do que eu entrou aqui para reativar minha conta que já havia sido criada porém eu nunca fiz nenhuma automação.  E agora ao tentar estou sendo levado a diretamente pagar o pro pois excedi o Número de contatos.  Sendo que eu nunca fiz nenhuma automação.  Então talvez seja ignorância minha, mas acho que há algo errado.  Alguém poderia me ajudar por favor? Muito obrigado. 

Necessito de ajuda para um pequeno detalhe! Alguma sorte pode me ajudar? Tenho 40 mil seguidores no Instagram preciso urgentemente colocar a máquina para rodar da forma correta 

Olá, pessoal,Alguém sabe como metrificar minhas vendas no canal do whatsapp com api oficial? Sei que a empresa “utmify” trackeia, mas segundo o suporte deles não trackeiam para whatsapp de api oficial, pois pede para apontar o qrcode de um zap de api não oficial. Trackear é muito importante, ajuda muito a saber através de qual anúncio ou conjunto teve pedidos agendados ou vendas de fato.

Hi all, I’d like to build an AI assistant chatbot using ChatGPT that can save the messengers inputs to certain custom fields. I tried the AI Step and was pretty underwhelmed by it. I saw the documentation for connecting ChatGPT, but from reading through the forums, it looks like the Assistants API can work with some workaround. If anyone is able to share some guidance, I’d greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

When trying to connect an existing Whatsapp API number I successfully go through the Meta pop-up. After accepting the connection the following error message pops-up. I don't really understant what I have to do and I'm afraid of loosing the good reputation that this number already has.The support team tells me I have to disconnect the number from my Whastsapp Business Manager, but doesn’t make any sense, all the numbers I’ve connected appeared there. 

The buttons below the text and media messages stopped working.At first I thought it had to do with the payments handling, but even a simple text message no longer works.I recorded it, have a look: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NZJ6J1sCRE7ev1rGWjDhdcCWqnFWdl7k/view?usp=sharingBelow is the automation. On the mobile is tells me that it's trying to connect. Appearantly that was not successful.Has anyone experienced this - and solved it😅?

Hi,I don't know why, but ManyChat Instagram stopped working for me.None of my auto-replies are working.I tried reconnecting, but it still doesn't work. I tried Refresh Permissions.Do you know what to do next?Thanks, Nikol

Essa é a imagem do meu fluxo, ele é para responder pelo ChatGPT quando eu enviar uma pergunta  para ele. Porém ele não chama o ChatGPT e não me responde adequadamente. Ao invés de responder ele fica me enviando uma mensagem do tipo: “Parece que você me enviou um áudio/imagem, mas não estava preparado para isso. Por favor, reencaminhe-o novamente.”Por favor estou precisando de ajuda para resolver   isso. 

¿Puedo migrar el pago de una suscripción a otra cuenta? Mi cliente me dejó con el proyecto sin pagar, deseo poder hacer el uso de la suscripción con otra cuenta.

Hello, can you please let me know what is the exact program of the upcoming course of manychat 

This is a screenshot of my automation, I am using a FREE Version, and I am trying to figure out why my automation is not working. It says Live, but when I try to test it using a different account, the trigger is not working, the flow is not working. I am using more than 10 images.. The activate  14-day free trial always pops out. If I use a PRO Feature,I dont see it on Pricing plan. Is the ACTION a PRO Feature? Pls help… 3 keywords are active. Refresh permissions, multiple times I tried. 

Saludos comunidad!!Estoy por acá de nuevo para preguntar si alguno le ha pasado esto al momento de ingresar su número de WhatsApp Business e intentarlo conectar con Manychat. En este caso meta deshabilitado a la cuenta y quiero saber si esto se puede arreglar intentando vincular primero el número de WhatsApp al Business manager o debo crear algún tipo de apelación dentro del WhatsApp.Un abrazo, 

alguém tem uma solução  

Hello guys! For some reason my flows on Instagram (specifically for posts) are being triggered only once. If you’ve already triggered it using the keyword and you try do that again, it won’t work. It didn’t use to be like this and I’m not sure what changed.Anyone got any light to shine on this? Thank you!

Hey, I’ve got an automation set up like this: User comments on Instagram post Message sent to user User clicks button + receives new message with link User clicks link After link click, + 5 minute wait – then, a message is sentThe problem I’m running into is if the user goes back to click the link again, the message after the 5 minute wait is triggered again. I just had a user receive the samme message 8 times… How do I make this message run only once?

I’ve encountered a situation where I have three different IG Automations set up. When a user triggers more than one Automation at once, only the first Automation is activated. Even if they continue to leave other Automation keywords in the comments afterward, those do not get triggered. I’m not sure what is causing this issue.

Hola! Una pregunta ​@Trilce Jirón Garro ​@Gustavo Boregio , al hacer un flujo tradicional preguntando el correo, hay una forma de configurar en caso de que el usuario no conteste. Cuál es la opción en el caso del AI STEP? sería utilizando una condicion para verificar si el campo tiene algun valor o hay otra forma más práctica de hacerlo?
