Hi,I'm trying to collect users' first names using a User Input block. However, when users type responses like "My name is James," the entire sentence is saved in the field instead of just the first name. I need a way to restrict or validate inputs so only the first word (e.g., "James") is saved, without spaces or additional text.Currently, ManyChat doesn't allow me to set a restriction for spaces or validate input directly. Is there a way to handle this, or can you suggest a workaround?Thanks in advance for your help!

I am about to pull my hair out! I have tried all of the suggestions on both ends and nothing is working. Comments are not triggering a response at all. When I click refresh permissions, it takes me back to the original page without options to refresh anything at all. I am about to end my account with them as I do not like wasting my money. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’m currently using ManyChat to manage my WhatsApp Business account and automate conversations. My number is fully integrated with ManyChat and functioning perfectly. However, I’m looking for a way to export detailed WhatsApp Business insights via API, such as:• Total conversations (free and paid).• Categories of conversations (Marketing, Service, Authentication, etc.).• Costs of conversations (if possible). The challenge I’m facing is that the number is already connected to ManyChat, and when I try to add the number manually to the Meta Developers App (to use the Conversations Insights API), it prompts me to reset the configuration, which would disrupt the current ManyChat setup. I want to avoid resetting the number or disconnecting it from ManyChat, as it’s critical for my business operations. Questions:1. Is there a way to retrieve detailed insights (like conversation counts and categories) via API without disconnecting the number from ManyChat?2. Does ManyChat provide

The $15/month Marketing Plan includes 3 live chat seats.Is it possible to increase the number of live chat seats?For instance, my client requires at least 5 live chat seats.

Hello everyone! I’m having a hard time with two things on Manychat:Capturing the user’s data and then sending a message via WhatsApp (welcoming them to event and then inviting them to the event’s group); Integrating Hotmart, a digital platform through we sell online courses, so we can send onboarding messages via WhatsApp.I know it is possible, but it feels really difficult to trigger a WhatsApp flow. For example, I’ve used Manychat’s webhook to send the user’s info to Make, collect their data on Active Campaign, then change apply a new tag to the user and, from that new tag, trigger a WhatsApp flow, but it simply doesn’t work.I’ve also tried using Manychat’s native integrations. With ActiveCampaign, it seems to work well, but with Hotmart it’s super unstable, not to mention that we can specificy which products we’d like interact with the user about.I’m new to this world of automations, so I’d like to ask you guys about a simple way of integrating, first, Manychat with ActiveCampaign s

Procuro uma pessoa para fazer parte do meu time!Esse vaga inicialmente será remota e meio período, ou seja, não há necessidade de trabalhar o dia inteiro.Requerimentos:- Conhecimento básico de Manychat- Conhecimento básico de CRM (de preferência que já tenha utilizado)- Inglês básico é ideal, porém não é necessário Caso seja do seu interesse para saber mais, me mande um email: iankenzo003@gmail.com

Every time I set up comments to DM automation, I can select, “Next post or reel”.  That option is gone and only gives me, “Specific post” or “any reel” options which aren’t helpful when my Reel hasn’t posted yet.  I’m launching a huge giveaway this morning and it’s THE WORST possible time for ManyChat to change this.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  Did anyone find where that trigger is now? 

Hello! I’m doing a contact clean-up, and I’ve noticed that while I can segmentate contacts based on their latest interactions on specific platforms, I can’t do the same with contacts who were created via API opt-in. Is there a way around that? I was going to delete everyone who opted-in via API, but I don’t wanna delete someone who may be perhaps in contact with my support team.To be clear: these are contacts who were created on Manychat through integrations with Make and ActiveCampaign. They’re not people who activated triggers on Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp. They were added on Manychat so we could send onboarding messages and broadcast a few reminders.Thank you!

Essa conta do WhatsApp Business não tem permissão para adicionar números de telefone à conta. manychat, esse é o erro que dá quando tento colocar o numero no manychat para cria-lo, lembrando ele nunca foi criado, entao nao teria que excluir para fazer um novo, ele é virgem e mesmo assim, nao esta dando para criar, contatei o suporte da meta e me falaram que tinha que ter uma conta do whatsapp business o que é o contrario kkk, porque a conta vc cria pelo manychat Vou deixar a foto do bug pra vcs verem o que pode ser, já tinha usado um numero antes e ele foi bloqueado, mas faz tempo e exclui ele do manychat e do portfolio empresarial, ai quando fui criar a conta nem tinha contas para cruzar dados ou algo do tipo.  

"How can I prevent multiple clicks on a button in Facebook Messenger? Users often click multiple times before the response is shown, and I want to avoid spammy behavior caused by repeated actions.

Hi everyone,Sorry to disturb you with my simple and easy issue but I can’t fix it by myself since two days and it’s getting me mad.I try to set up a default reply with whatsapp, just the first test, to reply “hello world”… and it doesn’t workMy default reply is sent on the trigger “User send a message”. The trigger is on and activated everytime. The workflow is live.In my whatsapp settings, the default reply is defined. My account status is approved, number status connected and credit line shared.On https://status.manychat.com/, I can see that there is no issue with Whatsapp API..When I send a whatasapp on the connected number linked to my account, I can see the message in the Livechat section but the default reply isn’t sent..Can you help me to figure out what’s the issue ?Thank you allRegards,Adrien

Hola compañer@s! Tengo un problema grave para el seguimiento de la conversación, ya que los flujos en los que tengo IA una vez que se considera cerrado el flujo, si el cliente escribe cualquier cosa inmediatamente después, se vuelve a abrir por completo la conversación. Es posible de forma automática pausar la conversación durante 1 día cuando se termina la conversación con IA? Para que en caso que el cliente escriba algo, no se ejecute ningún flujo.

After the fb post’s comment, ManyChat opens a dialog but does not send a message.Why?

Hey, I have connected Instagram and Manychat successfully and my automation is live. The problem is that on my Instagram reel I see 6 comments but when I open the comment section there is not a single one comment, but I know that people commented keyword to send message to DM because I asked few of my friends to try my automation. They also dont see other comments except their comment. But no one is getting DM. Do you know how to solve that problem? Maybe Instagram doesn’t like Manychat? Because this is the first time that this happened with comments.

Am i able to create an automated flow that sends a DM to new followers

Hi, I am asking for help with such a situation, as you can see in the picture, if the user responds with variable text {{Type Contract}}} it is assigned an anonymous value. Is it possible that these values are also assigned with the help of buttons?  After the user clicks button Tip 1,  Tip 2, or Tip 3, assign the corresponding value to the variable {{Tip Contract}}:Button 1: Tip 1Button 2: Tip 2Button 3: Tip 3Assign the value as follows:Button 1: {{Tip Contract}} = Tip 1Button 2: {{Tip Contract}} = Tip 2Button 3: {{Tip Contract}} = Tip 3

¿Cómo puedo agregar más botones de opciones, adicionales a los tres permitidos?

Hi Manychat Community,I’m working on a Telegram chatbot and have a question about what exactly qualifies as an "interaction" in this context.I understand that for Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp, the 24-hour messaging rule is based on client-initiated interactions (a message sent by the client). However, with Telegram, I’ve noticed something unusual.I’ve set up an automation designed to mark a conversation as "open" whenever a client interacts with the bot. But here’s the issue: sometimes the automation is triggered even when the user hasn’t sent any message.This has left me wondering:What exactly is considered an "interaction" in Telegram? Could there be scenarios where an automation gets triggered without the client actively sending a message?If anyone has insights or has experienced something similar, I’d greatly appreciate your thoughts!Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise. 😊

Boa tarde, galera! Tudo certo?Estou tentando importar contatos com uma integração via API com o Make. Lead se inscreve no CRM RD Station e e entra via API com HTTP Request no Manychat. O módulo HTTP Request da sucesso porém o status da 400 e o contato não é criado no Manychat. Alguém sabe o que pode ser?Já pedi pro suporte autorizar essa função.

Hello, everyone. Does anyone here uses Manychat?I'm actually new to Many Chat and recently started exploring its features. I have a few questions about how its automation works:1. Is ManyChat's automation free? Does the free version include all automation features, or are some limited?2. What does "number of contacts" mean? Does it refer to the number of Facebook users who have interacted with your chatbot?3. For the free plan, is the 1,000-contact limit on a monthly basis (and resets every month), or is it a lifetime cap?I'd really appreciate any insights or experiences you can share. Thank you so much in advance!

Pessoal, estou usando o n8n no lugar do Make para enviar leads que se inscrevem em um formulário diretamente para o ManyChat. Porém, estou enfrentando um problema: o envio dá erro caso o usuário já exista no ManyChat. Alguém que tenha experiência com o n8n poderia me ajudar?
