If a contact enters the automation after a Smart Delay has expired, it is clear that the message associated with that expired Smart Delay will not be sent. However, my question is: why doesn't the automation move on to the next Smart Delay that hasn't expired, instead of stopping at the expired one? Is there a solution for this? 

Hi everyone,Trying to create my first automation and I get this error:But there is no collaboration on the post-reel, it is just me.Anyone with the same problem? Thank you :) 

I attempted to add a couple specific keywords for triggers. Unfortunately it was explained that I have to setup a whole new automation just to support keywords, whatever fine.But after I removed the keywords now my first automation is stuck! I just want it to run when a person sends any kind of message however Manychat is now insisting that it must be a keyword! I don’t know how to reset this and I already have ~23 bubble-steps (or whatever they’re called) setup.I tried scrolling around and looking for hidden and non-intuitive options and there just isn’t anything. I would really prefer not to have the several hours I spent working on this yesterday to end up being a complete waste of my time.Here are the whopping two steps: 

¡Hola! ¿Es posible enviar un mensaje de bienvenida automático a los nuevos seguidores en Instagram? 

HTTP Action Step seems to have a timeout of 1 second. Can we increase it? 

When a person gets an automation from a comment, if they click the link multiple times, they get the message sometimes 5 times. How can this be changed to only getting a message once even if they click 10 times?  

I speak with people both here in the United States and occasionally internationally. In my contact step I offer people three options: Call, International Calls and Email. The international calls option I would like to go to WhatsApp so they can call me that way. I can chat for free with people internationally in WhatsApp but not in the traditional way.How do I create a WhatsApp contact option in the Automation section?

Hi, I'm writing about the functionality of Telegram for Business. I have connected my bot to my Telegram account so that it can respond to potential customers. Technically, the bot is set up via Manychat. But after connecting, I tried to send a message from my other account to the main one to check how my customers would see my messages And here's what I noticed:Messages are not displayed in Manychat, although according to the logic of the functionality, when I give access to the chat, any messages should be displayed in Manychat Can you tell me how I can solve this issue and what I need to do to make Manychat see dialogs that start on my main account?

Hi,I'm facing a issue with an automation that is triggered from manychat and appears in every new chat. I've reviewed all the automations but couldn't find the setting responsible for this, and I'm unable to stop these messages. How can I locate and disable this automation?Is it possible that there are automations being triggered from somewhere other than the Automations page?

Hello,  I’m trying to append some text to a Text Custom User Field, however I can’t manage to do it. Is there any special concatenate operator or is this something that can’t be done? Basically I’m building a URL while collecting user input, so I need to call back the URL variable to concatenate new data.  Thanks.

I'm assigned as a Live Chat Agent but I can't respond to any livechats. The information is like this. Can someone help me solve this? Much appreciated.

Hello all, I am newbie in manychat. Any recommendation for image hosting for showing in telegram. I first using imgur and dropbox as they don’t work well with manychat, the images are suddenly not visible in telegram. Thank You!

Hello,A quick question for those who create Facebook or Instagram chatbots...When people connect to your chatbot, in the first menu that you offer to users, what options do you provide?Is there, in particular, a "Write Us" and "Unsubscribe" button?Thanks for your feedback.Nico

I have a template I want to share protected and locked for editing. When the template is uploaded into a new account, it uploads correctly and looks ready to go, but the only trigger available to turn on is for message keywords. All the other triggers are grayed out, disabled; and, well… locked. Despite the fact that I selected them in growth tools and they are visible in the automation folder. They simply can’t be enabled because they are locked for viewing (which is what I want). But I also want them to be able to actually use the template lolI know there must be a way to enable the triggers, because what would be the point of sharing a locked template if they can’t actually enable the triggers to turn the automation on? That would defeat the purpose of a locked template, so I’m sure there must be a way! I just can’t figure it out.TLDR: how do you enable a trigger on a locked template without viewing the automation? The toggle switch is grayed out/locked.

Look, I feel stupid asking this. But I try to surround myself with people much smarter than me. 😉I have a flow I turned into a Template. I shared said template with a friend.When the template is installed, all triggers disappear. Is that normal, or did I make a mistake?Prob the later, but worth asking before diving down the rabbit hole.  

Hello,I'm new to Manychat and currently working on my strategy while getting familiar with the chatbot.I have a question, please.To be honest, I'm not sure if this is related to Manychat or Facebook Ads.I launched my fan page a week ago.Next week, I plan to launch my chatbot, which I'm currently finalizing.I want to send a message directly to the Messenger of my new fans to introduce them to my chatbot and the information it contains.In other words, I would like all the people who become fans of my new Facebook page to receive a message directly in their Messenger.Is this possible?And if so, would this be set up in Facebook Ads or Manychat? Thanks for your reply

Hello ManyChat Support,I am experiencing an issue with linking my Instagram account to a new ManyChat account. Here’s the situation:I initially had a ManyChat account linked to a newly created Facebook account. Unfortunately, that Facebook account has been suspended. To resolve this, I created a new ManyChat account linked to my older, active Facebook account. When I attempted to connect my Instagram account to this new ManyChat account, I received the message that it already connected to a ManyChat account and that account should grant permission. Since the original Facebook account is suspended, I cannot access it to pass ownership or make any changes.Is there any way to disconnect the Instagram account from the old ManyChat account or transfer ownership to my new ManyChat account? I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue.Thank you for your help.Best regards,
