Hi zusammen,  ich habe eine automatische DM eingerichtet für jeden Kommentar und Post.  Beim letzten geposteten Reel klappt es leider nicht, bei einem anderen schon.  Was könnte da die Ursache sein ?  Danke euch und Grüße.   

I am a software engineering student and an AI enthusiast currently looking to scale my chatbot skills. While I’m comfortable with the core ManyChat platform, I’m eager to learn how to integrate deeper AI capabilities and external automations into my flows.I’m looking to connect with peers who are working with the WhatsApp Business API and AI agents. I’d love to hear your daily practice routines for staying sharp and any advice you have for someone looking to start their own AI automation journey. Excited to learn from you all!

Hi ManyChat Support,I'm having an issue with my Facebook channel connection in ManyChat. It appears to be connected to my “personal Facebook profile???” https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100071878564523  (2 followers) rather than my actual business Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/lukedorazfitness (101 followers, Page name: Luke Doraz / @lukedoraz).Here is the issue in detail:— My Instagram (@lukedoraz) and TikTok (@lukedoraz) channels are connected correctly in ManyChat, showing my proper profile picture and page links.— My Facebook channel, however, is only showing a "Bot link" instead of a "Page link" like the other channels, and it is displaying a default gray avatar (no profile picture), which indicates it is pulling from what i beleive to be my personal Facebook account??? I think think if i’m not mistaken this was required to create a professional facebook page and is tied to my profession business account... — So I My business Facebook Page is linked to my “personal

Al crear una automatización que se active cuando detecte palabras claves y habiendo agregado en la respuesta ¡Hola ig_username!, no toma el nombre de usuario de instagram y en el mensaje solo me muestra el ¡Hola !alguien me podría explicar porque pasa eso? Muchas gracias!!

I'm trying to connect this new automation on Instagram, but it's not working.A window pops up saying “Update your Instagram permissions to say hi to new followers.” When I click on the “Update Permissions” button, the business.facebook.com login page opens. I can't log in through Instagram; it kicks me out and says “You cannot log in to Instagram using this account.” Logging in via Facebook simply redirects me to the page I was on before.Please advise how I can grant permission and connect this automation.PS: This is a Meta company page, and I am the manager. All other Manychat features work without any problems. 

Hi everyone, I really need some help 🙏I’m trying to access my ManyChat account, but it was connected to a Facebook account that I’ve unfortunately lost access to.Because of this, I can no longer log into ManyChat or access my clients’ pages that were connected to the platform.Has anyone experienced this before or knows how to solve it? Is there any way to recover access to ManyChat without the Facebook account or migrate it?I’d really appreciate any guidance. Thank you!

Is there a chance that the DM to new follower will be applied across multiple platforms (Facebook + TT) This has been essential to my business and would like to know if this possible thanks !

Hi Team, New to ManyChat. Love the concept, though the automation that i've set up to DM new followers on Instagram isn't triggering. I've tried to troubleshoot using guides, FAQs etc - not having much luck. Can anyone provide some insights? Much appreciated.SFB.

Hola a todos, tengo una cuenta nueva (350 seguidores) pero creciendo, interacción aumentando pero veo que no se dispara la automatización con todos los keyword comments y me meto a mensajes de esos usaurios y dice que “envié un mensaje al usuario por un comment en mi post” pero no veo mensaje alguno y tampoco hubo respuesta automatica en el comment.Alguna idea de qué pueda estar pasando? Falta de confianza de la cuenta para IG?Cómo solucionar?Muchas gracias ​@Gustavo Boregio - agredecería cualquier insight. saludos

Here’s a clean prompt you can use for ManyChat help:I have an Instagram comment automation workflow in ManyChat. It starts when someone comments on my post, then sends a message asking which hairstyle they are asking about. The user can choose from Box Braids, Cornrows, Sew In, and Fluffy Twists. Each option is supposed to set a bot field for the chosen hairstyle, then a condition block checks the selected hairstyle, sets the corresponding price in another bot field, and sends a follow-up message asking whether they would like to book an appointment. After that, the flow shows either a booking button or a “just checking” reply.In my preview, the workflow reaches the message that says: “Hey! {{gaf_5006368}} is {{gaf_5006369}} Ksh. Would you like to book an appointment?” but the field values are not populating. Instead of showing the actual hairstyle and price, the preview is displaying the raw field placeholders. I believe the fields are bot fields, and the actual field names are hairst

Hi! I am trying to use quick replies as a way to force engagement coming from my meta ads for attribution via a tagging and user fields system Basically, I try to force them to select “Get Info,” or “Unsubscribe” to set appropriate attribution in a specific ad entry flow before sending them to whatever general flow they belong in The default reply settings are supposed to be making them click for 5x attempts I also have flows going for various keywords It appears when they enter the flow but send a message that contains one of my keywords, without clicking a default reply, it is taking them out of the flow and as such not giving the the attribution I either want:The tags/user field actions to fire for the ad attribution before sending to the keyword flow Or, the keyword flows not to trigger on this entry message and force the default reply engagement instead (and then have the keyword flows work as expected after that)I can go back to a button system if that would be better. The end go

Hi everyone,⁣⁣I want to share how I solved the “Update Permissions” issue — the one where you can’t log in with your Instagram account and can’t connect the “Say hi to new followers” automation.⁣I also tried the suggested workaround (editing the URL by replacing “IG” with “FB”), but it didn’t work for me.⁣⁣In the end, the only method that actually fixed the problem was this workaround:I added a second Facebook account (from a friend) as a “person” inside my Business Manager.⁣ I assigned my Instagram page as a “resource” to this second Facebook account.⁣ I logged into ManyChat using this secondary Facebook account.⁣ From there, I connected my Instagram page to ManyChat.⁣ This finally allowed me to complete the “Update Permissions” flow, which was impossible to finish from my main account.⁣After that:⁣I activated the Pro Trial on this temporary account.⁣ Then I transferred the ownership of the ManyChat account back to my main account.⁣From that moment on, Instagram has been connected cor

Hola 👋 estoy usando ManyChat para automatizar respuestas en WhatsApp y tengo un flujo configurado con palabras clave y mensajes automáticos.El problema es que durante la semana funciona correctamente, pero los fines de semana el bot deja de responder o no se activa como debería.Ya revisé los flujos y los gatillantes (palabras clave y saludo inicial), pero no logro identificar qué está causando esto.¿Alguien sabe qué puede estar pasando o qué configuración debería revisar?¿Puede ser algo relacionado con horarios, ventana de 24 horas o limitaciones de WhatsApp?Gracias 🙌

I’m running a Meta Lead Generation ad (using the "Instant Forms and Messenger" hybrid type) where my video script has a soft CTA asking people to "Comment AD" for a free PDF. Because this is a "dark post" created in Ads Manager and not on my profile grid, I’m struggling to get the ManyChat Instagram Comment Trigger to recognize the ad and fire the DM automation.In ManyChat, when I try to use the "Specific Post" trigger, the manual "Enter Post ID" box isn't appearing, and the post doesn't show up in the "Promoted Posts" list. I’ve already set up a Ref URL as a backup on the Lead Form's thank-you page, but I really want the "Comment" trigger to work for the social proof. Has anyone found a reliable way to link a comment automation to this specific "Instant Form" ad type without having to post the ad to the main grid?

I’m currently experiencing an issue with Instagram Messages on the web version.When I add a button to a message (via tools like ManyChat or similar), the message content gets cut off and does not display fully. Some parts of the text are missing, which makes the message unclear or incomplete.However, this issue seems to only happen on the web version. On mobile devices, the message still displays correctly and works as expected.Has anyone else encountered this issue or found a workaround? 

How can I rename these widgets? In the automation tab They all have proper names, but here the system uses some default backend naming which I cannot change.It makes it extremely hard to work with contacts like this.  

Bonjour, J’ai 2 comptes Instagram. Je me suis déjà abonnée au forfait PRO pour le premier. Est-il possible d’utiliser ce forfait PRO pour le deuxième sans souscrire à un nouvel abonnement ? Si c’est possible, qu’est-ce que je dois faire ? Merci pour votre attention et vos conseils.Bien sincèrement à vous,Maud Gracien
