Ask and troubleshoot

hola como estan? soy nuevo en manychat y estoy buscando cursos buenos , en youtube solo salen esos curso donde te enseñan que pongas la palabra y te piden el correo , he visto como 10 de esos iguales, quiero uno que si ayude a entender mejor manychat , porfa me pueden ayudar.

Olá, tudo bem? Tenho uma conta no ManyChat e, a partir dela, incluí algumas contas de clientes dentro do meu portfólio/agência. Uma dessas clientes utilizou a versão gratuita e gostou bastante — agora ela deseja realizar a assinatura do plano pago. Gostaria de saber qual é o procedimento correto nesse caso: Eu posso realizar a assinatura diretamente pelo meu portfólio, mantendo a conta dela vinculada à minha agência? ou É necessário que eu faça um novo cadastro em nome dela para que ela própria realize a assinatura?  Agradeço desde já pela orientação. Atenciosamente,Marcelo Martins

Hi guys, I just wanted to set up a new automation to welcome new followers. I have updated permissions and want to create the first message but can’t use the variables. Specifically I would find it very useful to greet them by first name. Anyone experiencing the same problem or have a solution for it?  

I need some help to send customer notifications via API. I am receiving a notification from an external service everytime our customers get paid. I would like to send customers a WhatsApp notification about payments they received, incl. the amount. I have done this succesfully with https://api.manychat.com/fb/sending/sendContent for Instagram notifications, but I can’t seem to make it work for WhatsApp notifications. I also tried to solve this with templates, but I can’t trigger templates from external APIs.Does anyone know how to send a custom message to a WhatsApp contact via API? 

Hi so as part of my Instagram DM automation, I’ve implemented the AI step to engage with commenters, and hopefully lead them to my monetized content. The number one complaint I get is the AI instantly answering, and I have not yet figured out how to fix this. I am not connecting it to chatgpt or anything. Everything else is working well, but its a shame as this (allong with little to no chat context/memory) seems to ruin the user experience. I would appreciate any help or workarounds.

Hello ManyChat Support Team, We are planning to connect our online store to Instagram automation through ManyChat.Our goal is to set up automatic DM replies triggered by comments under posts. On average, we plan to publish around 10 posts per day, and for each post we’d like to create an automation flow that will trigger replies in Direct Messages.We understand that user activity may vary, and we want to make sure our setup complies with Instagram and Meta rules. Could you please clarify: Are there any limits or safe thresholds for the number of automatic comment replies or DMs per day/hour? Are there best practices to avoid our account being flagged as spam or limited? Is it safe to duplicate one automation flow for multiple posts, or is it better to create separate ones?  Our main goal is to automate communication and optimize the manager’s work while staying fully compliant with Meta’s policies. Thank you very much for your help and guidance.

So, since a few weeks I have issues with my broadcasts. There are enough funds in my account, but broadcasts I schedule for like next week don’t get approved on time to be send out by Manychat.Because of this, we missed a lot of business during a last online event. Anyone who knows how to deal with this?Normally my messages always got approved within a few hours, now they never get approved and also not disapproved.

Has anyone run into the issue of seeming to be stuck in the basic builder? I am pretty new to many chat but used to see the full Flow Builder. The chatbot keeps telling me to toggle or hit the 3 dots, but there is no toggle and the three dots only allow me to delete? I am trying to add actions to my flow but am hitting a wall. Any help would be appreciated!

Cuando adaptaran la función de respuesta de un comentario con un mensaje para Tiktok? La funcion funciona espectacular en Instagram, pero la necesito en Tiktok! Gracias.

Is there a launch date for when ManyChat for TikTok will be launched in the EU? It feels like we’ve been hearing “coming soon” for months now 😊 I really hope it’s actually happening soon, because sending every single link manually on TikTok takes so much time. I’d love to automate this part, it would make things so much easier!

Hello, As can be seen above, I have a Messenger Automation live that has “0” Runs. Users are commenting the correct Keywords and are receiving the auto-reply comment but are not receiving the DM in Messenger. This has happened for several of my previous Automations with the same set up. This has only started happening in the last few weeks. Prior to this, the same set up was working fine. Any idea what might be causing this issue? Some things that may be useful to know: I refreshed permissions for FB after this went live but it didn’t have an effect. Instagram Automations of the same type are working fine without issue. I do delete my all my contacts on a regular basis.After refreshing my permissions I now have the below error message pop up but sure if relevant. I tried to address this following the instructions but was unable to do so. “Your Facebook Conversions API (CAPI) integration has been disconnected. To keep your data flowing, please reconnect it manually.”Thanks a million :)A

why the button doesn't work? when the contact clicked the button it doesn't work as usual, it's happened to another contact  

Hello everyone,I’m new to this. I deactivated my automation by deleting it, and now I’m trying to set it up again. However, even after publishing it live, it still shows as ‘paused’.Does anyone know how to fix this?Thanks a lot. 

Hello, I have created this automation but the answer under the comments doesn’t trigger. But the rest of the automation does work, the DM and such..here is a photo of my automation Thank you for your help  

Hello. We have messenger list we were sending broadcast to on a regular basis (~daily). We were doing it for a long time (year or so). There are ~10k users on the list. Since beginning of October we do it in the same way but the result changed. Broadcast goes to the full list like every 3 days. On the other two days ONLY 50-100 users is being sent. Is there any change of the allowed frequency or something like this? In the settings I see no error logs.

Não estou conseguindo veicular anúncios que levem para a automação porque não aparece nenhuma opção de colocar o Manychat como parceiro dentro do gerenciador de anúncios ou do portfólio empresarial. Alguém consegue me ajudar com isso?

Hi,I have a pro account and automations to comments on my posts haven’t been working for the last couple of weeks. I’ve refreshed permissions several times and seen no improvement. Automations to story replies seem to be working though.

Hi everyone!How can I activate a second flow on WhatsApp and keep the conversation there? I want the first flow to stop, but in my case, the user only receives the first message of the second flow and then it goes back to the first one.Any ideas on how to make the second flow stay active and prevent the first one from taking over again?Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hello,I am currently working on integrating ManyChat with our CRM through the ManyChat API. The goal is to create new subscribers and update their information, such as phone number and email address, using the API. However, I encountered a warning message when trying to import phone and email fields.Here’s the JSON payload I’m sending to the createSubscriber API endpoint: { "first_name": "Felipe", "last_name": "Goulart", "phone": "+555499999999", "whatsapp_phone": "+555499999999", "email": "myemail@gmail.com", "has_opt_in_sms": true, "has_opt_in_email": true, "consent_phrase": "The user has given consent to receive WhatsApp messages."}The data is no the real, only for you to check the code.Although the subscriber is created successfully, both the phone and email fields remain empty. Upon further investigation, I noticed the following warning in the API response: "warning": "Permission denied to import phone, email. Please contact support to enable this featureThis warning sugge

I cannot log in with my Google account that was linked to my Pro subscription.It shows "Access denied" during Google OAuth login. My workspace is inactive but I need to recover access. 

Hello, I had the free plan and upgraded to PRO. Of the three automations I have activated on Instagram, none of them launch when someone makes a comment. Why? What is happening? Can you fix this problem? Thank you.

Olá, pessoal! Tudo bem com vocês? Eu gostaria de receber um orçamento do Plano Elite do Manychat para implementar em um de nossos clientes aqui da agência, pois precisamos de 8 ‘live chat agents’, o que o plano Pro não permite pois é limitado a 3.Já enviei uma solicitação através da página inicial de contratação e recebi a resposta, por e-mail, nesse sentido, em resumo: “Você provavelmente não precisa desse plano.” Alguém saberia me dizer algum outro contato do Manychat que posso conseguir um orçamento personalizado?  Desde já agradeço grandemente!

Hi all! I noticed yesterday morning that my comment stopped triggering my manychat automations-- on multiple posts so its not just one trigger keyword malfunction. I have sent in a support ticket and I have literally tried everything myself to fix this issue: refreshing permissions, disabling and reenabling… even went as far as completely disconnecting from FB and instagram and reconnecting and then refreshed permissions again and nothing has worked. Is anyone else experiencing this issue or have you recently and found a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA
