Hi everyone,I'm currently using an automation in Manychat that's connected to all Instagram posts (not specific ones).I'm trying to find a way to identify which specific post generated a lead.Is there any method to either: Dynamically retrieve the Instagram Post ID or some unique identifier inside the automation flow triggered by a comment or DM? Or add a custom identifier (like a post number or slug) to the URL or UTM parameters, in a way that it’s passed into the flow and can be stored in a Custom User Field? The goal is to track which post each lead came from, even when using the same automation across multiple posts.Thanks in advance!

🚨 Urgent help neededHi everyone,Are you also experiencing issues with ManyChat today? In our account, messages are not being sent at all, or in rare cases they go out with a ~1h.+  delay.This has fully stopped our client communication.We already contacted support, but I wanted to check — is this a global issue or just with our account? 

A friend wants the cheapest ManyChat product for their team of 6-10 live agents. What would you recommend? They do not need to automate any chatbot flows. Could they purchase two Marketing Automation subscriptions for a single Facebook account where they run ads?

Hello,Let’s say someone replies to my automation in a feed post or story, can I get the post/story ID that the person replied to?

I am receiving an error when trying to send a message in Manychat to a Facebook contact that says “Something went wrong on the server. Please try again.”I’m noticing the messages do send, but they’re delayed. Anything I can do on my end to fix this?

Hey everyone,We have thousands of contacts in our ManyChat broadcast list, and everything was working fine until a few hours ago. However, we’ve noticed that new people who click "Get Updates" are NOT being added to our broadcast list anymore.I’ve checked Messenger, and people are still clicking the button “Get updates” and engaging with the flow, but no new contacts have been added in the last 5-6 hours. They are only shown in the contacts section but they are not added to our broadcast list. Is anyone else experiencing this? Could this be a ManyChat bug, a Facebook API issue, or something else? Any insights or fixes would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I want to use ManyChat’s native AI to build an FAQ chatbot and generate leads. Also, I want to use the Messenger List to get user consent for updates. How can I use the Messenger List together with AI in ManyChat?Also, I plan to connect this chatbot with Facebook Ads. I understand the first message must include a button. How do I make sure this setup meets opt-in and consent rules?

Hello, I want to create an automation where I create a chatbot for Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram Direct. The initial triggers are configured, but I can't access the part where I choose the specific channels for the flow. In other words, it forces me to create different branches for each channel (select the Messenger message block, WhatsApp message block, etc) to create the flow. Is there no way for the flow blocks to be the same?  

Hi all!I was wondering whether anyone can recommend a Wordpress plugin for a floating WhatsApp button on my Wordpress website?  I’d like to keep it simple - just the floating button that will allow me to add a link to start a conversation/kick off an automation.Thanks in advance!Simon

I’m trying to connect my Instagram account to ManyChat. When I connect it, it says it’s already linked to another account. But when I check on Instagram, it’s linked to exactly the account I’m trying to connect. So, if I remove the ManyChat app, all the information disappears. But when I try to connect it again, the ManyChat information appears again on my Instagram. In other words, it’s the same account I’m on, but it still won’t let me access it.  

Trigger " All Posts and Reels" doesn't work but Trigger Specific Post or Reel works.  Why is that ?

Hi there, New to Manychat and trying to send up automation to collect email and send freebie. Did this successfully via DMs but everyone seemed to be adding keywords to comments instead of DMs so tried to add an additional trigger to the same automation to pick up comments also. However, it will not allow me to enable the additional trigger and I receive the message “Mark this message as a "Comment Reply" if you want to send it as a reply to a post or reel comment.” I have no idea what this means or where I am meant to mark message as comment reply. Please help! Thanks in advance.

I want to cancel my subscription to ManyChat and delete my card details. I've already tried several times, and each time it says the subscription has been canceled, but after 2-3 days, it tries to charge my card again!Is ManyChat a SCAM? Should I cancel my card and remove all my details? 

Hi,I hope you’re all well. I’m writing from Guayaquil, Ecuador.Recently, I connected my company’s Instagram account to the ManyChat platform to automate messages. Since then, I have been unable to add captions to any posts, reels, or collaborations. The caption field simply doesn’t allow me to edit with an error message.After noticing the problem, I took the following steps: Removed the ManyChat connection from Instagram. Deleted the ManyChat integration and permissions from Facebook/Meta Business Suite. Tried posting from multiple devices (iPhone, Android, and computer). Contacted Meta support and verified that no applications are currently connected to the Instagram account. Despite all this, the issue persists, and I still cannot add captions to any type of post.Could you please help me resolve this? I would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance you can provide.Thank you very much!

Can you please enable 'Follow to DM' beta feature for my Instagram-connected workspace?

When are you guys unrolling the ManyChat Integration for WhatsApp Business with co-existence globally? I could really use it. After using ManyChat on Instagram for the last few weeks, I’m excited about the possibilities it could unlock for me on WhatsApp. About 50% of my customer interactions and conversions happen on WhatsApp. Can I be on the beta program for Kenya?

Hi everyone,I have integrated my WhatsApp Business number with ManyChat using the Coexistence (BETA) mode. My goal is to be able to view and respond to messages both from the WhatsApp Business app and from ManyChat.Currently, the system is only partially working:✅ I can receive messages on both platforms (WhatsApp app and ManyChat).✅ Automation flows are triggered correctly when a message is received.🚫 However, messages sent from ManyChat are not reflected in the WhatsApp Business app, nor are they seen by the customer who started the conversation. In other words: The automation flow is triggered (see attached image), but the automated messages do not reach the customer. I also cannot send manual messages from the live chat panel in ManyChat. Only the original message sent from the app appears correctly (marked in blue in the image), but the messages sent from ManyChat (marked in red) are neither delivered to the customer nor visible in the WhatsApp app. Could you please help me u
