How to do Paid Broadcast in Messenger in 2025

Hey everyone,I have a question regarding ManyChat. Since paid broadcasts are no longer an option, how can I send messages to all my subscribers? For example, I have 10,000 subscribers in ManyChat, and I’d like to send paid messages as we used to do.

new rules

Hello! Based on the new Instagram rules, won't Instagram consider sending messages to our subscribers as mass actions under the new rules? And won't an automatic response from a person be considered a violation if he tags us in stories? Thank you!

Issues with Automations – Some Run, Others Don’t (REF: FAQ Automation Issue)

Hi,I’m facing an issue with my automations in ManyChat. Some automations are running smoothly, but others, like my newly created FAQs, are not working as expected. They don’t show up or execute properly, even though everything seems to be set up correctly.I’m starting to feel really lost and would appreciate any help or guidance on how to fix this problem. Thanks in advance!

Email automation error: invalid SMTPAPI header

I am trying to send automated emails via Manychat using a custom domain. I have successfully connected my custom domain to Manychat, and said domain works well when I use it on other platforms, I have even tried with two different domains from different providers and keep getting the same error, and so the error has to be within Manychat. Whenever and email is triggered, it is not sent, and I get the following message in my inbox: A message was received from this address by our systems that had errors in the SMTPAPI header, and cannot be processed due to the following: - The IP Pool name must be a valid pool name for your account. You provided pool_verified_medium If you require assistance in working with the SendGrid API, please contact us at support@sendgrid.com I have already tried to contact support@sendgrid.com with no luck. I cannot find any information online about how it is possible to set the IP Pool name in my account in Manychat, or what this IP address should be set to. C

If I delete a saved contact, can I keep the free plan?

"If I have 1,000 contacts and delete all of them, will I be able to keep the free plan?

Definition of the "contact"

Hi there!I’m the freshman with ManyChat tools. Currently I’m still testing the free version’s options and I’m concerned if you can define the phrase “Contact” for me. Does the Free plan have unlimited contacts?Effective December 10, 2020, new Free accounts will be limited to 1,000 contacts which include all subscribed, unsubscribed, and deleted contacts.What happens if I reach the contact limit on my Free plan and don't upgrade to Pro?Once the threshold of 1,000 contacts is reached, account owners will no longer be able to send messages to their contacts through configured automations, Live Chat, or Broadcasts. If my goal is to send IG DM’s after sb leave particular comment under the post - how should I understand the limit. If it means that I can send unlimited dms to 1000 followers, or only 1000 DMs?

how to change whatsapp phone number?

when i signed up for manychat, i selected a USA phone number since my country (singapore) was not available. on the sign up page it said i can change my number later on after sign up, however i do not see this option in the settings?

Automation goes the other way round

I’ve set uo an automation for a specific post or reel. When someone comments with a keyword, they get an automated response in their DM. It all worked fine, until the morning I responded to someone else's story with a keyword (another keyword then I use for my reel), and it sent MY automation to her. I’ve got a free account.

Content can’t be sent to subscriber id='xxx' without message tag. Subscriber’s last interaction was over XXh ago (more than 24 hours ago)

An attempt to sendContent via SwaggerHi Manychat Support Team, thank you for this amazing product,I know similar question had been asked before, with no answer.I am getting an error message, as if i am comunicating outside of 24 hours wind, but i know this is not the case.I am chatting with a page owned by me from my personal IG account, so i know i interacted recently.So i am getting that last interaction was some absurd amount of time ago, my question is how is this:What is considered an interaction: a message from customer, like, post comment, mention, etc…?Is it Manychat who keeps track of “last interaction” or is it Meta platform?Please give a clue on this, if possible.Thank you.

Automation through contact events for new followers.

Hi, I'd like to learn more about how to create a welcome message for Instagram via contact events. I'm having doubts about sending an automatic message when someone becomes a new follower. Can you explain a bit more about this configuration? I look forward to hearing from you so I can continue with the automation settings for my page. P.s.: If you can answer me in Portuguese, I'd be very grateful.

Can't find a way to customize the Messenger List subscription text

Using Messenger, I’m creating an OTN to contact my subscribers outside the 24-hour window. My understanding is that I need to use the Messenger List feature. I’d like to customize the text of the subscribe button, but I haven’t found a way to do so. I’ve checked all tutorials, but they refer to the "Flow" feature, which I believe is no longer supported. I’m attaching a screenshot; clicking on the three dots there is no edit feature, but only archive.https://postimg.cc/ykj7YcW2
