Ask and troubleshoot

I’m doing an connection between my Landing Page and Manychat to create the contacts and starts a flow with it. The problem is: I can create the user with the endpoint: /fb/subscriber/createSubscriber, but if the contact is already in my manychat contacts base i can’t get a response from manychat that gives the subscriber id.Doing a get request by number like this: https://api.manychat.com/fb/subscriber/findBySystemField?phone={{phone_number}} it does’nt return any data about the user, even in the test on: https://api.manychat.com/swagger#/

Hi everyone, I linked my subscription to one Instagram account, but I want to use the subscription on another account. Is it possible to use the remaining subscription time on another profile within the same Manychat user?

Hello everyone,I’m sharing this because I’m really frustrated and need help or advice from other users.My Facebook account has been disabled, and as my Manychat account and my Instagram account were linked to it, I’m now completely locked out. Unfortunately, Facebook was my only way of accessing Manychat, so I currently have no way of logging in to transfer ownership of my Instagram to a new Manychat account or to cancel the paid plan.As a result, all my automations have been on hold for several days, which is directly affecting my business. Furthermore, I have not yet received a response from the Manychat support team. My ticket number is #472640.I want to share this situation here so that other users are aware of it and, above all, to find out if anyone has experienced something similar and what steps they took to resolve it.Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I’m only 2 days into use MC and I’m about ready to cancel. Help articles aren’t good either.  Here’s the issue. I’ve configured a simple automation that if the word GUIDE is commented on any post or reel, MC sends the user a message, ulitmately leading to them receiving a link from Kit. The link IS valid when I configure it but Many Chat sends the link but adds a bunch of characters at the end of it rendering the link useless. 

It saids this function is unavailable. How do I fix the issue? 

Hi all, I’m trying to import a csv contact list on my Manychat account but when I click on “import” button in contacts section i got this error message: “Permission denied. Please contact support to enable this feature”anyone can help me?  Thanks in advance. 

Hi ManyChat community,I am desperate for help. My Instagram automations have been completely down for 4 days and I have had zero response on my support ticket (#469692).Here is exactly what happened and everything I have already tried:What caused it: When I linked my Instagram to Facebook for Reel monetization, a page was automatically created. This broke my ManyChat connection entirely.What I have done to fix it:Deleted the new Connected Page Refreshed Instagram permissions in ManyChat  Turned ON the Allow Access to Messages toggle in Instagram settings  Set Conversation Routing in Meta Business Suite to ManyChat-IG  All flows show as LIVE in ManyChatWhat is still happening: Automations are still not firing. Comment triggers, DM triggers — nothing is working.I believe this requires a manual backend reconnection on ManyChat's end. Has anyone experienced this and found a fix? Or can a ManyChat team member please look into ticket #469692?I am a Pro member and this is seriously impacting

Would love some help.  Getting super frustrated.  Ultimately I want to be able to add a video in my DM automation so I searched and found that I should create an automation from scratch. So I tried to do that and set up a trigger for when someone comments on my IG post to send a message but after I typed in the text, there is no dot or “next step” to add another step!  I can’t figure it out. What am I doing wrong?  I also don’t see an option for adding a video anywhere.  I am getting so discouraged.  I have spent way too much time trying to figure this out. 

Context:On my manychat it says credit line is not shared, i need to solve that problem to run broadcasts on my whatsapp business.To solve that it says y have to create a new waba and connect manychat to it but to do that i have to remove my number from my current waba to connect it to the new one, but to remove the number from the current waba i have to remove manychat as a partner first.The problem is that when i am about to remove manychat as a partner it says “You may not have access to send messages until Apr 1, 2026. Learn more about migrating to another partner.” Im really scared that i wont be able to send or receive messages through my whatsapp business app on my phone.I always used the coexistence method so im not sure if it would actually not let me send messages from my whatsapp business app on my phoneIf i remove manychat access and then disconnect the number from the current waba and connect the number and manychat to the new waba will I still be able to send and receive m

Hi there, I set up the ‘say hi to new followers’ automation where they get a freebie sent to them if they click yes. However it has only sent to one person and I have had about 200 new followers this week.. numbers don’t add up. I’m not sure why because it looks like everything is set up and no error messages? Any advice?  

I have paid to upgrade to the essential plan, but it isn't updating, it keeps saying my subscription has expired. How do I talk to a human because the AI bot is useless and I have tried everything else. Very frustrated. 

My automation for new followers isn't working. I've done everything according to the steps. Everything is linked together in Meta Business, but unfortunately the automation still doesn't work. Is there anyone who can help me with this?

I’m trying to configure the chatbot to send an external URL (usually a Facebook/Instagram reel video) in Facebook Messenger or Instagram Direct Message. However, when the user taps on the external link, it usually trigger ManyChat tracker URL first, then redirect the user to the actual URL of the reel video. I already turned off the the setting “Automatically send events to the Conversation API ...” in Settings/Ads Optimization, but this behavior is still occurring.

On few of my clients pages, DMs and comments suddenly stop appearing on the Manychat. For some its only for couple of leads, for others, all. This has been going on for over a week now.I’ve tried refreshing permissions, making sure that instagram settings on the app allows for everyone to message it etc. Still, nothing is helping.Does anybody know what is the best thing to do in this kind of situation?

I've been billed for December and January even though I'm not going to use my account.Could you please cancel my subscription permanently and stop all future billing?

Hello, I am linking a custom OpenAI Chatbot with my WhatsApp Business account to allow users to interact with the Chatbot via WhatsApp. I want the response to occur as soon as possible (ideally within a few seconds), but am having trouble doing this. I can have a trigger to communicate with OpenAI based on a WhatsApp message from the user but it must contain certain keywords, which is problematic since the user would always need to include a specific keyword (or one of three keywords). I could have it be a date/time based trigger based on the last time of interaction on WhatsApp but the minimum value I can put is 1 minute, when I’d prefer it be immediate or just a few seconds (10 seconds at the most) since waiting for for a response detracts from how effective the interaction is. Any suggestions for how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ManyChat community,I'm really stuck on a frustrating issue with Messenger Ref URL triggers and would love any insights from you guys.My setup:Trigger: Messenger Ref URL with exact value "annons_kampanj" (lowercase, no spaces) Generated link from my site looks like this (example, real page ID removed): https://m.me/[PAGE_ID]?ref=annons_kampanj&fbp=fb.1.xxx&extid=usr_xxxWhat works perfectly:For me and internal test users: Flow triggers 100% of the time. Contact shows "Opted In through: Ref URL" and automation runs immediately.What fails for many real users (from ads):Contact is created → shows "Subscribed" and "Automation active" But "Opted In through" says "Direct" instead of the Ref URL No flow starts → users only see Facebook's default "Get Started" button (and when they click it, it does not show in Many chat, but I can see it in messenger app.) In Contacts: Automation is active (not paused), but the flow never executesWhat I've already tried:Double-checked trigger spellin

I’ve been planning to runs messaging ads using manychat on Instagram. I’m so frustrated that after trying every possible solution recommended by the support chatbot, I haven’t got a resolution on itIn return, it created a support ticket where there has been no response at all since last 3 days. I created a second ticket yesterday and still there hasn’t been any updateCan anyone please suggest what can be done? It is very disappointing that even after being a pro user, you cannot contact a “real person” from support who can give some clarity rather than AI generated responses.

Hi Support Team,Could you please help disconnect ManyChat from my Instagram account? I would like to link it to a new account. Ig @sigarumoaonorte Thank you very much for your assistance.   

I have a question, why are we not notified when Permissions need to be refreshed? Some of my followers did not get my Manychat message when they followed me. This is a bummer because I want to look and feel professional and have direct contact with my followers, now I have to go back and resend my message when they should of gotten the message the first time they followed me. This is what I pay for, but when the system fails why aren’t we notified. 

I have a csv file with ~600 Instagram Scoped User ID but when uploaded to facebook the list is “Ready” but I still can’t make a lookalike audience from it because the seed audience is too small. From meta documentation they say I need at least 100 Instagram Scoped User ID’s So how many do I need?   

Hey, I’m new to Manychat and Make.When someone sends us a DM on Instagram, I only get the contact_id and first name, but I need the username or scope ID to use later in Clay for data enrichment.Does anyone know how to fetch the username or scope ID directly from Manychat when a user messages us?
