Hi community Can I check telegram channel subscription, if yes, then how ?

Hello, community!I want to create a mini app for Telegram. I tried to do it with PuzzleBot, but it doesn’t work with ManyChat at the same time. Could you please tell me how I can create a mini app for Telegram without disconnecting from ManyChat and without writing code?

Our team has created a ManyChat account, and we want to set up a WhatsApp chatbot for job postings so that WhatsApp users can interact with us. However, we are unsure how to get started. Could you please guide us through the necessary steps to set this up?Additionally, we need to implement APIs to send customer responses from WhatsApp to our website. How can we achieve this? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi guys, Just built my first automation. I’m having an issue with the buttons as they appear on top of the text/question in messenger. Does anyone know why?  

Hello all!I have an AI agency and in february we are bringing 50 of our clients across to Manychat. I thought it would be as simple as them adding me as an admin on the facebook page, then me adding their account to my profile on Manychat. However once I added the accounts, my 1 account with live automations started becoming much slower, some triggers stopped working etc etc. Is there a good way to do this? I want to be able to have access to see all the accounts and automations. I also want to cause as little stress as possible for the client and ideally i dont wnat them to create an account themselves or ask for their FB log-ins, but will resort to the latter if this is the only way forward. I would really appriciate any advise on this. Side note: Is there a good way to track errors etc across so many accounts? Thanks in advance, Farhan 

how to disable the manychat shotened url in the message  

So I have my automation, and in the process the user uses AI, and when the conversation has already ended, the user sometimes inputs another question or so, and I dont know if the AI is triggered or somehting else I already try “default reply” but that solution only makes things worse cause my users have low education(that’s the way my business is), so sometimes they don’t reply pressing the buttons and so on.Also I alredy try to label them and put a contidion block so when the Automation has already started for them, they don’t get any AI messages. So it’s a rough taks  

I had a ManyChat set up once before, then turned it off.  I can’t seem to reconnect my IG account now.  I’m stuck in the loop of add an account...go through all the steps...’your account is already connected’...but no channels are added, all I see is the ‘add an account’ button again.  I’ve removed permissions on FB and IG, re-added them, cleared cookies.  I’m not sure what else to try.  

How to know which messages are unread or that the program is the last response to the message

Hey, trying to get better followups and also implementing some people in my team.But I have the problem, that I somehow cannot filter to unanswered only Chats.Is there no way to do it or am I just blind?If not - how do you guys manage to see only unanswered Chats?Best regards

Hey Everyone! I’m trying to add a ‘blacklist’ conditional which the automation routes through immediately after the trigger and has the ‘if tag ISNT’ [blacklist] logic applied to it, in order to exclude certain accounts from the automation.  However, this does not work at all.  I know that the issue of the lack of a blacklisting ability has been raised before so I assume people have figured out some sort of workaround - any help here? Thank You,Matt 

Hi, i would like to trigger an automation via an API call, is that possible? Just like if a WA-message happens or an Instagram Post i would like to trigger the same thing via my own service.I cannot find anything in the docs, but the ManyChat AI told me it is possible…Thanks in advance!Stephan (hybridai.one)  

I have about 1.5 million followers online with 658,000 being directly from Instagram.  I installed Manychat about a week ago and Manychat has responded to about 3,500 comments and sent about 3,500 DMs to followers that have commented on my Instagram posts.  I just got banned from commenting on my or any Instagram posts. I’m guessing it may be because of the volume of comments that Manychat responded to or the lack of variety in them as I only had 4 variations set up to respond to comments.  So Manychat is currently not able to reply to the comments on my post but it CAN still send direct messages. Should I stop using Manychat or use it less?  I don’t want to get banned from sending DMs either and currently I’m probably sending about 500  per day.  Can someone please help me and give me best practices here and please give me some guidance on what to do to prevent this from happening again once my commenting has been restored?

Hello :)Any one having an issue that Messenger ref url takes me to messenger but doesn't open the flow..Just nothing happen, only messenger open

I have an test features called Trial reel. I want my automations work for my trial reel.

Hi everyone, after two and a half years of organic growth on Instagram I thought it was time to up my game with manychat, only to get shadowban for using manychar, could anyone help me solve this problem, please? This is quite maddening, I’ve just payed for a service that has jeopardised all my work.Thank you in advanced, greetings from Spain. 

Hey Manychat! I am working on testing click to messenger campaigns between Meta(Facebook specifically for now) and Manychat. I am experiencing some issues where the Manychat automation is not being triggered. When a message conversation is triggered it seems to be defaulting back to a message that says: “Hi {First Name}! Please let us know how we can help you.”.  which appears to be the default greeting for Facebook.  Despite attempting a few different manors of fixing this, it is still defaulting back. I have this setup in a few different ways for testing in the “Message template” area of the engagement ad.  I have an ad setup to use partner app, and selected manychat and the automation from there. I did not use the JSON code option as the automation did not provide it in this case. This automation never triggered. I have also set it up “start conversation” and integrated in an automation trigger via keywords, incase the partner ap

Hey Everyone! I’m relatively new to Manychat, but I’ve coded several chatbots from the ground up so I’m not a complete newbie.  That said, I’m trying to deploy a bot with that simply responds to DMs and keeps a conversation going, so there’s no need for any additional triggers after the first incoming message from a user.  I’m using Make for the webhook connection message parsing, and an OpenAI assistant for the chatbot.   My routing setup is attached.The main issue that I’m having is that the chatbot will either send the same response twice, not in a row, but rather after the user responds to the first AI response, OR it will also send the user back their own message after the AI response.  I’ve gotten it really close a few times but it will still do one or the other.I’m not sure if what I’m trying to do is eit

I have removed Greeting text from Facebook and from Manychat, but it keeps showing insted of the conversation starter. The  Conversation Starter leads into an automation, but no conversation starter shown. How can I disable that, and make it so if a user clicks Send message on my facebook ad, they will see only the greeting text i set in manychat, followed by the automation which is triggered by the conversation starter?  Thank you

I am experiencing an issue with Meta click to messenger campaigns and ManyChat. While Meta shows that 33 people have clicked on the ads, only 2 people have gone through to the ManyChat flow. Can someone please advise on why this is happening? Please message me via Facebook, here is my profile https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009007349366.

This is either strange or simple. I have a step that performs an action that assign “audycja” a text value, in this case “strach”.The issue is that in the WhatsApp chat I see strange text showing up (see screen) that I can’t locate in the entire flow… Is it the action itself that prints this message? 

I have set the Greeting Text, and i have created a  Conversation Starter which leads into an automation, however when i create a Facebook Ad, and select ‘create new’ it forces me to use their default template questions. How can I disable that, and make it so if a user clicks Send message on my facebook ad, they will see only the greeting text i set in manychat, followed by the automation which is triggered by the conversation starter?  Thank you

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.

Hello,I've disabled all notifications in manychat but I still get a sound notification when someone sends a message.

I just tried using an automation for TikTok, but wanted to verify. It looks like we can’t send active links in the DMs and just have to redirect them to the link in our bio? I was trying to collect emails but I’ve been getting and error with any and all emails sending through my verified domain, which means the only other means of delivering a freebie is through the DM’s, but I can’t connect a link to a Google Doc or my Stan Store. Am I missing anything? Additionally, does ManyChat have any insight to the potential TikTok ban? I’m concerned about spending much time on my TT account if I only have 2 more weeks to use it. Thanks so much!!
