Is Manychat Officially Approved by Instagram?

Short answer: Yes. And we’re happy to say that you’re safe!Manychat is the world’s largest Instagram DM Automation platform, powering meaningful conversations for over 100,000 Instagram accounts and sending millions of messages monthly. If you’re using Manychat, you’re using a Meta-approved tool built to work within Instagram’s rules.But let’s talk about what that really means.  Manychat + Meta: Partners, not Puppeteers We know what you’re thinking. “Meta Business Partner” sounds like we have VIP access to Instagram’s inner workings. Our partnership with Meta means we work directly with Instagram’s official APIs, ensuring that everything you do with Manychat is compliant. But — and it’s a big but — we don’t control Meta’s rules or have a hotline to reinstate accounts.Meta sets the rules, and we all have to follow them. We can’t flip a switch to undo restrictions or plead your case to an Instagram overlord. We can help you stay on the right side of their policies so you don’t get flagge

White label chat dashboard for clients?

Hello!I want to create a chatbot solution for a B2B client, using conversational engine on my server (connected to Manychat via API). The goal is to give this B2B client access to all user chats through a dashboard.I like ManyChat’s dashboard, wondering if it is possible to create it for a client without ManyChat’s, but my dev logo on it?Thank you so much!

Automação problema

Pessoal, como estão ?Criei uma automação, testei pelo Instagram, e está com problema, está aparecendo opções erradas. Conforme anexo, era para aparecer apenas " Sim e Não" e a opção com "Raiva e irritação" fica em outra parte. Se alguém souber me orientar, agradeço.

Webhook Response Issue – Custom Field Isn’t Updating

In my ManyChat webhook the field named continue won’t save to its custom field, while the others work fine.{ "output": { "response": { "part_1": "¡Sí, enviamos en Miami-Dade! 🚚", "part_2": "Ofrecemos pick-up y entrega.", "part_3": "¿Quieres info o hacer un pedido? ¡Dime!", "continue": "continuar_proceso" } }}What happens JSON key Saves? part_1 ✅ part_2 ✅ part_3 ✅ continue ❌  What I’ve checked Field name & type are correct. Renaming continue to something else (e.g., next_step) works. Rebuilt the Bulk Set Data step and cloned the flow—same result. Ask: Is continue a reserved word in ManyChat, or is there another fix besides renaming the key? Any tips appreciated!

How To Stop Automation 1 If They Enter Automation 2

I have two automations; A lead magnet delivery, with follow up A questionnaire, triggered by Dm Currently, people are subscribing to the lead magnet, then also subscribing to the questionnaire - but the automations are clashing and sending all messages. I can’t find a condition to “Stop Automation X” that I can place in both automations to stop the other one if the contact enters it. I can see “Unsubscribe From Sequence” Surely this is basic basic basic marketing automation. Don’t tell me I have to tag users entering an automation, then recheck the tag at every single step to pull them out if they have entered the other one?

Follow up if the user does not answer

Hi everyone! I’m using ManyChat to reply to comments and send information about the promo I’m currently promoting. However, I’d like to know how I can create another automation only if the user doesn’t reply to my message. I’ve read all about the 24-hour window, but I can’t find the condition for “not answered” in ManyChat. If anyone can help, I’d really appreciate it!

Бесплатный Pro тариф для пользователей из Украины

Hi! We created a chatbot about a couple of years ago, when there was a free subscription if you pay with a Ukrainian card. Then, a year later, it was extended again. Is there now an opportunity to extend the tariff from the card of Ukraine for free, or is this service no longer available?

Manychat AI Bot randomly gives mobile number

We purchased a manychat bot premium subscription but multiple customers are complaining as the bot randomly gives mobile number of people. This affects our company and we dont know how to fix this as we cannot see any prompt telling the bot to do that. Did you experience the same problem? How did you fix this.

Contact Limit even with Inbox Subscription

Hello,So our client signs up for the $99 inbox subscription that includes unlimited contacts. Which is the only thing they need for now because they average 6k messages a month.I can see a limit on the header, and I’m quite bothered by it. Are we going to be charged $315 when we hit that limit even though we have the inbox subscription that supposed to be unlimited contacts? Thanks in advance.
