Ask and troubleshoot

Can I get Manychat to reply to comments on a facebook PROFILE in other words the profile for me? Or does it have to be a PAGE? Because I just did a live stream from my page and had people comment a specific word to get my free gift and I got about 500 replies! I never expected that. But this is on my profile not my business page

 I have created a manychat flow to collect emails and add a contact to AC. The firstname (or last) is not showing for AC. I have tried workarounds via chat gpt’s help to no avial. What can I do?

buenas tardes, alguien podría indicarme para qué sirve el API de manychat, por favor? c{omo puedo aprovecharlo? gracias

How do I filter conversations using the new tags feature? I want to see only the conversations that have a specific tag. On mobile it’s easy to do this, but on the desktop browser version I can’t find where to apply this filter.

When WhatsApp is linked & Approved on Manychat, does Manychat controls this WABA?That means the WABA is locked to ManyChat's platform and Meta intentionally restricts direct API access to itself directly. Is this is by design? ie. ManyChat manages the API layer on my behalf. I ask this because I’m trying to build a Make workflow to send an HTTP scenario from Google Sheets directly to a WhatsApp number via the META Whatsapp API. (to access it independently, via Meta).  I’m hitting a permission wall over and over again here.Im not successful yet with A below. I want to try B now. SUMMARY:A:  Meta Cloud API — works only if YOU own and control the WABA directly, not through a Tech Provider like ManyChat B:  ManyChat API — works only for existing subscribers, but since ManyChat owns the WABA, this is the correct path for your setup

Hi ,I'm running into an issue after disconnecting and reconnecting my WhatsApp Business Account (WABA) to Manychat. Here’s what happened: I originally had my WhatsApp number connected to Manychat and everything was working fine.   The WABA was verified and connected to a shared credit line in Meta Business Manager. Recently, I had to delete and reconnect the WhatsApp integration inside Manychat. After doing that, Manychat seems to have created a new WABA instance, and now: I see “Access removed” next to the original credit line in Business Manager. I can’t select the original credit line or ad account during the reconnection flow. Can´t connect again my whatsapp with coexistence. I want to restore the connection to the original WABA, or at least reassign the original credit line to the current integration. But so far I haven’t found a way to do this from the Meta interface or Manychat settings.Has anyone dealt with this before? Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi! I'm having an issue with the Automation Pause feature and hoping someone can help.The Problem:I have "Pause automations during conversations" set to 3 hours in my Inbox settings, but ManyChat is still sending flows even after a live agent has replied to the contact.My Questions:1. Why is the automation pause not triggering even though the setting is enabled?2. Is the automation pause ONLY triggered when replying through the ManyChat Inbox? If an agent replies directly through Facebook Messenger (outside of ManyChat), will the pause NOT be triggered?3. Is there any way for ManyChat to detect when a reply is sent through Facebook Messenger directly — so it can automatically pause the automation even without using the ManyChat Inbox?What I've observed:In the conversation log, I can see a note that automated replies have been paused temporarily — but the flows still seem to be running regardless.Is the only solution to always reply through the ManyChat Inbox? Or is there a workaround t

I’m new to Manychat and have linked both FB and IG accounts. I’m on the Pro 14 day trial. When I go to set up auto DM from comments I don’t see any of my FB posts to select from, only Instagram posts. I want to use the feature with Facebook. I have refreshed, checked buisness integration permissions, logged out and in again to Manychat, started the flow from scratch but nothing works. Not sure what to try next? Any help would be appreciated :) 

Hello, I’m Brazilian and I speak Portuguese. I’m experiencing a problem with the contact limit. It says I can have up to 1,000 contacts, but it also shows that I already have 1,475 contacts. However, I have already deleted all contacts from the list, and the number still remains the same.What should I do?  

Hi everyone,In my “Say hi to new followers” automation, I offer a free recipe guide in the initial message. If the follower clicks the button, that triggers the next message with an external URL button to the guide. I get quite a few people that don’t click, the button but rather write a reply like “oh yes please!” and then the automation stops. Is there a workaround where I don’t have to manually action all of these?

Hi everyone! I have a quick question.I’ve been using Manychat for about two years and I’ve built up a list of around 23,000 contacts across my automations.Is there a way to send a one-time broadcast message to all of these contacts at once?I want to make sure I’m doing it correctly and within the platform rules.Any tips, best practices, or things I should watch out for would mean a lot.Thanks in advance! 🙌

Recebi uma cobrança no meu cartão e não sei de qual conta é, consigo saber pelo numero do cartão?

I'm trying to register my WhatsApp number to a new Manychat account, but it keeps showing the following error:"The phone number entered is not associated with the selected company. To continue, you need to unlink this phone number from the company in question or enter another number."The number is not connected to any Facebook page.How can I proceed?

Hello everyone! 👋🏽 I’m Yanis Gerion, a videographer and content creator, and I’ve recently been invited to test Manychat’s beta for TikTok. I switched my account to a business account as required, but now I’m running into an issue when trying to connect my TikTok to Manychat. The error message says: “This TikTok account doesn’t support connection to Manychat.” Has anyone else experienced this or knows how to solve it? I’d appreciate any insights or advice! 🙏🏾

Hi guysI would like to put a tag on my “Say hi to new followers” automation - when followers click for my free guide, I want it to assign a tag to them, so my team member knows who to follow up with - how do I do this?

Hi guys, I have an AI agent integrated with n8n and Gemini and one of the issues is that when a Live Agent needs to chime in and interact with the user, the AI agent doesn’t get the context and since this automatically pauses the automations, all the info is not sent to n8n.I saw that there’s no official way of solving this and there’s an open feature request:  but I wonder how you have solved this issue on your agent? Appreciate the help here!Thanks

I’ve watched many videos and support information. What I am struggling with is how to use these flows and ideas to sell a tangible product. It seems that Manychat is ideal for selling services, coaching and marketing expertise. But what if you have artwork? I can’t offer constant “free” materials as an incentive for email addresses. When I offer a discount code… never get a response. I have had over 700 engagements with new followers, dms, stories, etc. Only gained 4 new emails. Trying to figure out how to make it be more effective. Any advice, links, suggestions, details… I am hopeful to know more.  Thank you.

Se eu já mandar logo de cara após a pessoa comentar na postagem, uma mensagem já com um botão de link para whatsapp, tem perigo de tomar spam do Instagram?

Hi everyone, I’m stuck with a very strange Instagram connection issue in ManyChat and would really appreciate any insights. I wanted to contact official support, but I’m unable to upgrade my ManyChat account because no workspace is created. When I try to upgrade, I’m redirected back to my dashboard without any active Instagram channel. So I currently don’t have access to proper support either. Meta confirms that my Instagram Business account is successfully connected. The authorization flow completes without errors, and I get the confirmation that the Business Portfolio is linked. However, no Instagram workspace is created inside ManyChat. After the connection finishes, I’m redirected back to the reconnect screen and my account is not visible. There is no “Already connected” error anymore. It looks successful on Meta’s side, but ManyChat doesn’t initialize the channel. I have already:• Switched Instagram from Business → Personal → Business• Reconnected it to the correct Facebook Page•

hello i'm just trying to understand the free account - it says 25 contacts but i've jsut set up an auto dm link from comment. does this mean it will only work for 25 people?

 I’m facing an issue where the pre-filled message from my WhatsApp ads is not being properly detected by ManyChat.When a user clicks the ad and sends the default pre-filled message, the message is delivered normally to WhatsApp. However: ManyChat does not recognize it as an ad opt-in The Ad ID is not detected The trigger based on Ad ID does not fire The contact appears as unattributed Because of this, I cannot trigger flows based on the ad and have to rely on generic triggers.Has anyone experienced this issue with WhatsApp ad attribution and pre-filled messages not being recognized?

Context:I run an app/website where users sign up and accept terms allowing us to contact them via WhatsApp. Their data is stored in my database (sometimes I can also feed contacts via Google Sheets).What I need is: every time a new contact is created, ManyChat should automatically send a WhatsApp Message Template (Marketing or Utility) after a few hours/days (welcome/onboarding), without any manual importing/tagging.Issue:When I try to do this via API, ManyChat blocks it and says I need some kind of approval/permission, and that I have to do it manually. This doesn’t scale (I may get 10–50 new signups).My questions: What exactly is the approval/permission I need to create/import WhatsApp contacts via API and then trigger automation? Is it plan-related, WhatsApp channel-related, or a feature that Support must enable? Is this the recommended approach? API → createSubscriber (with whatsapp_phone) → contact is opted-in → “New contact” trigger → delay → send WhatsApp Message Template

All of my automation on both my account aren’t working anymore for 3 days.I’m desperate for help from Manychat, but…. it’s not really fast.Since I tried “say hi to news follower” every thing stop.It was working very well for the last 2 year.But now, it’s over, I tried everything recommande by the AI Chat bot, stuff ask with the 2 emails from ticket, but that’s all….Any idea ? When I tried the routing message in Business Facebook, I got this error message.    I tried of course to disconnect Manychat, reconnect, refresh everything, with no result...

Analytics for ManyChat automations is very sparse… it seems that a request for date-based anayltics comes up a lot. Is this in development? What’s the verdict?
