Hi everyone,I am currently trying to set up our first automation and on some point I can’t save it. This is, what our automation looks like:We want our users to comment on a post. Then they should receive a DM where they enter their eMail address. After that, we want to send them an eMail. When I try to save this, there is an error message:I tried to mark the message as Comment reply, but when I do so, another message block pops up. I thought: Okay, I have to confirm to the user, that he is getting an eMail now in this message, but this second message block can’t be connected to any other following block, so the automation ends there. What am I missing? Can anyone help me with this, please

Hey Team, i need to update the whatsapp_phone of user’s whos already subscribe to my Instagram account few mounts ago, but when i am trying to do that, i am getting a success but not really getting any number there.This is the contact i want to update → as you can see she got an custom field of “phone” which i created as i ask her for the number later down the road but cant set is as phone as our customer dont really put the full national phone number which can cause us to lose leads for that.So the first problem is that i cant set an “auto national number” as my customer will not write the full number of (+972) and they directly write there country number which start with 0.the second problem is that the API to update that part is not really working.and the third issue as that i cant seems to find the m

I don't have this menu. I need to take 4 photos, 2 in a row, and 2 more in a row. and he posts 4 separately in full size, and the message becomes very long.but I found in the article that there is such a menu,https://help.manychat.com/hc/en-us/articles/14281274994332-Instagram-Buttons#toc_How-to-Set-up-Instagram-Buttons-with-a-Gallery- , but I don’t have it  

I’m having an issue where my automation is restarted when someone repeats my trigger words. So for example, if the word is ready and someone DM’s me that, and the first message they get is “Here’s the info you’ve requested….” and then later in the convo they say, “thanks for the information, I’m ready to get started” the automation starts all over again and says “Here’s the info you’ve requested...”  How can I stop this?! 

So I am having unread messages be marked as read or seen when I haven’t touched them. Been an ongoing issue for a few weeks. I have already tried refreshing permissions 

One of my prospects sent me a photo of her whatsapp screen, with an old price I've used a long time ago.Can I search my Manychat templates to verify the source of this message? I've looked at the my templates and I coudn't find it. I've also looked at the dhat history but didn't find it.Now everybody asks me for the old price.

Hi. I want to place buttons on my webpage that will open directly in Messenger. So a click on a button forces opening Messenger app on a phone.Years ago it worked very well. Now all I’m getting is another window that show that I have to log in to facebook or download it. Is there any way to force the button click action to open the Messenger app straight away? Thanks

Hello, I just noticed there is “AI step” option in the automation now… it cost pretty much more than just the automation so i would like to know if anyone tried ? is it GPT-4 level of answers ? does the chat bot remember the answers of lead within a chat to continue the conversation properly ? is it really much better than openAI integration which is way cheaper for me currently.. and last question this one about OpenAI integration : Can anyone help me with setting up an AI chatbot for IG ? i already set it up actually, answers are ok but the way i did the bot has no memory at all about what has been said in the chat so he repeat the same thing many times it look stupid :P i’m learning fast just need some guidance how to do.. 

I have a contact/influencer colleague with a large (1M+)+ Instagram following who is concerned about using story reply or DM automation on a large scale.She was told from another influencer with a similar audience size that a large volume of Many Chat automations on a similar account shut down their Instagram completely.Has anyone had any experience with this?  Had their IG shut down for a high volume of automations used?It seems unlikely to me as long as the automation itself is compliant with policies and well built.TIA!

I received a warning from Instagram “We suspect automated behavior on your account” I am instructed to disable automation tools or risk having my account permanently disabled. I just started using Many Chat and with my second trigger post I received this message. Is Many Chat not allowed on Instagram? What do I do to ensure my Instagram account is safe?

Estou usando o Manychat na versão gratuita, porém de uns dias para cá, toda vez que vou ativar o fluxo ele me diz que não posso ativar  Widget na versão free. Eu faço fluxo e configuro para ativar com um comentário em um post do Instagram.

Hi, I’m creating a flow for facebook comments that has Call To Actions for viewer to type things like one, two, three in the comments to trigger certain flows. I am having a parsing issue where if the viewers comment things like “alone”, “someone”, “money”, and other words that have my keyword as subsets, it also triggers. Examples:al[one], some[one], m[one]y. I have it set as “comment includes one of these keywords” on Manychat and i’m not sure how to make it more strict. I also want to utilize numbers like 1,2,3 as my keywords but any number like 451 would trigger the “1” flow. Any solutions?

Has anyone experienced the issue of not being able to send a contact through a campaign again in Drip once they’ve already been subscribed? The Zap keeps getting halted. 

When I go on the web site, on the package page the free pla should give me access to this :Channel Access:Instagram DirectMessagesFacebook Messenger• WhatsApp when I try to do my instagram comment reply it says : instagram comment is a pro feature and ask me to upgrade my plan.is it normal ? could you help me with that ?

After repeated attempts I still cannot connect my Facebook account after my page got deleted.  I had to create a new facebook profile and a new company page and now it’s not connecting.   I have the proper permissions set.   

Manichat does not display all the dialogues that were started.Or it can show the new dialogue and the first message, but not the messages that were sent later. How to solve this problem?Refresh Instagram Permissions does not help! 

Hi everyone! I have an automation for a tech repair store that works well during business hours, but the company closes at 1 PM on Saturday and reopens on Monday. During the closing period, the customer receives an automatic interaction with an AI, but after finishing that interaction, the 24h window gets closed.I’m wondering if anyone has implemented a strategy to keep the conversation window open until Monday morning, without needing to use a message template. Any tips or automations that could be set up to ensure the customer interacts on Sunday, for example, to extend this window?Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

Dear All,I am facing an issue with connecting my ManyChat account to Instagram. The error message states that my Instagram account is already connected to another ManyChat account. Upon checking, it appears that my Instagram is linked to a ManyChat account using an email address, but I am no longer able to log in using that email. Currently, I am logging in via Facebook.I would appreciate your prompt assistance in resolving this matter. Thank you for your attention.Best regards,

I am trying to make it so when someone opts in for 1 free thing. I can then send them a following message the next day or whenever it may be. I know you can do it through the automation process, however I need it to be on a condition scenario. So if something happens throughout the day that  I cant set it to before I run the automation, I cant know if I am going to need to send the follow up message.For example, I give out free sports betting picks. Someone opts in for 1 free pick, and then if the free pick hits… at the moment I have to manually go back through and send the same copy and paste message to all of the people.If the free pick misses however, I need to send a follow up message still, but it needs to be something different than obviously if the bet won. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi everyone!I would really appreciate some help here as the support team have still not gotten back to me and I'm pretty reliant on automations on my Insta Account. I have not been able to access my account since I logged off about 2 weeks ago. All I get when I try to log in through my insta (see screenshot below) is that the Request has been sent to my page. Yet this FB page I am on is the one that I used to sign up to my account. I have no idea where the "Request" might have been sent. I was also billed for my subscription so I am on PRO but I can't even access it and I have no idea what to do next. If you have experienced this or know how to resolve this, you'd be a hero!Thanks a lot,Alana 

Hi, I’m creating an automation to send DM and replies to comments on Instagram. I applied the trigger for all posts or reels. However, it seems that the comments on some of the reels are not triggering the automation. When I checked, the ones that did not trigger the automation were also not listed on the specific post or reel list. How can I make it available for all posts and reels?Here are the available posts on Manychat trigger: Here are the actual posts:
