Hello Team,I use manychat for some months now, and last Friday I had to change the connected Facebook page from my Instagram page to another, which was also in another Business Manager.After that I cannot connect to Manychat anymore, I always get this error: The following Pages are ineligible to grant messaging API permissions  After talking to Meta Support the told me there is no restriction on my Facebook nor Instagram Page and the problem is on Manychat side. Does anyone know a fix to that?

Hey.I would like to use the keyword that trigger an automation flow but I also want this keyword to be stored as a user variable. Is it possible?thanks! :-)Andre

I had an old fb page that previously owned the manychat account and I lost access to it. I was still logged in so I was able to transfer ownership to this account.The facebook and Instagram page I had the bot on are perfectly linked.I followed this to refresh the permissions, yet it keeps on giving me “Refresh Permissions” popup for Instagram and the bot is not showing on instagram.https://www.loom.com/share/f3d436eb68294c04b049eba5d0f11114?sid=50ac2a84-9b03-40e1-86af-77fff5923655

Hello, we are receiving account blocking alerts due to reports of spam WhatsApp. Apparently the stream is being triggered to people just by clicking on the ad link. We have already tried to adjust the trigger that triggers the flow but it also triggers in the middle of the conversation. We would like to trigger the flow only when the person starts the conversation with a word but we would not like it to trigger in the middle of the flow. How to proceed?

Hi i want to setup an automation for people who are sharing me my own reel, i wan to send them a message once they have sent me my own reel.HOW TO DO THAT?

 I see in my Manychat account that I have 100 subscribers. These are people I can see who have engaged with me via DM on Instagram but it says that they subscribed. Can someone please explain to me what this function is? I haven’t enabled a feature for someone to subscribe so I'm not sure how that's possible through my DM's. Also the subscribed contacts appearing in many chat don't include all of my DM's so I'm not sure how it's being filtered.  How do these contacts work on Manychat? Is there a functionality beyond just listing some of the people who DM’d me. 

How do I delete this unknown contacts? I’ve had them for more than 7 days now and I hate how I can’t do anything about it to remove them. I already refreshed everything. 

I just noticed that on the notification list on Instagram – under comments – the “message” button is missing all of a sudden. Anybody else experiencing this?

Are there any tips to not getting your IG account reported as spam with many chat automation? This is the second time in less than 10 days. It is gravely affecting my business. their only solution is don't use many chat but there has to be a way. 

Hi guys,I have a problem. I set up ManyChat today, followed all the instructions. I connected my Instagram account, but I can't add any automation because it keeps saying "Instagram channel is not active."Has anyone had a similar issue and could help me?I also tried to remove my Instagram channel, but after typing "remove" in the window and clicking CONFIRM, another red window pops up with the message "Something went wrong."Please help 🥺  

Hello, Can someone confirm if AI features suddenly stopped working today? My flows with smart triggers and AI steps are still not working.Is there any way to be informed of the status of these? I would like to know when they go down and back up again. Thanks!

Ja tentei de todas as formas conectar o manychat ao instagram, porem aparece esse erro aí, que um pedido foi enviado porem nao acho esse pedido. nao sei mais o que fazer.  

I just joined Many chat because our Instagram and FB ads get a lot of comments for information. Instead of replying individually, we want to send them a message. I watched a bunch of tutorials on how to obtain the Json code but when it comes to actually finding the code, it’s not where it’s supposed to be. Do I need to create the campaign with the consideration being the message first? I have campaigns running but not with that consideration. Could that be why I can’t find it? When I do set it up, will it only work for people who click the ad? Or can I set it to work on people who comment? Thank you in advance.

Hi, I have an issue: I set two triggers to run the automation, but only one trigger works. The second trigger, 'new contact created,' does not work. I can manually create a new contact, and the automation count shows that the new contact add in the automation but not  runs and against the adds a new member.Attached a screenshot below:    

I am intensively testing ai step. I get pretty nice results, as my understanding of how to split information between goal, tasks, and context is increasing.However, once the ai step is a bit more complex than just asking for simple information, it happens a lot that it gets stuck. By stuck, I mean that in messenger, the conversation is still open because it does not go to next step, but it does not react anymore.What intrigue me is that in the playground, it never happens. It can ends the conversation too soon because of bad design in the context / tasks, but that is not what happens as it would go to next step in that case.Does someone know why it gets stuck and/or knows how to prevent that? And why it does not get stuck in the playground?

In the AI ​​step, it does not answer in the language the customer asks, sometimes it answers English in German and German in Turkish. How can I prevent this? Why does AI do this when there is only English training data in the training data? 

I bought pro version but when I’m setting automation it’s again telling that I’m not a pro member.Please rectify it at the earliest. Aggrieved customer

Hi, everyone!I'm asking for one of our clients.They want to avail ManyChat. And they are curious if ManyChat offer discounts for the following:a) 1 year for 1 pageb) 1 year for 5 pagesI tried booking a call but yet to receive a response.Thank you in advance!

Yesterday I had an issue with public replies being greyed out. I refreshed my IG connection and it was working…but now it lets me set it up but nothing actually sends today, on a new reel. My message automation works, just not the public comment replies.  also, if I accidentally deleted an entire automation, is there a way to restore it? 😫

How do I unlink my account? Someone linked a business account to manychat and now I can't use it 

Pessoal, minhas automações funcionam com 3 comentários, depois elas param de funcionar. Tá acontecendo por aí também? Como resolver?

There are a lot of leads assigned to me as a Live Chat Agent but I can’t message the lead, because “Contact not opted in to channel.” Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem? Thank youu beforehand.

hello I’ve had the following message - ‘connection to this page was lost. The bot can no longer send messages to your contacts. To fix this, you need to refresh the page’s permissions’ Ive been clicking refresh permissions multiple times but it just keeps taking me back to the same pop up box saying I need to refresh permissions.   

For some reason the instagram permissions are lost for the account and have no idea what the problem is. We disconnected Manychat from the backend of Facebook and connected it again but its still not working. Is anyone dealing with the same issue?  

Hi!I applied to be an affiliate for Manychat 2 months ago. I have not heard back and the info on the aplication is “pending approval”. Do you need anything else form me? Have I done something wrong in the application process? Thanks, Makalani
