How do I filter conversations using the new tags feature? I want to see only the conversations that have a specific tag. On mobile it’s easy to do this, but on the desktop browser version I can’t find where to apply this filter.

I want to add another IG account to my Manychat account… but the error message“Invalid Request: Invalid redirect URI.” appears…How can I add another account? 

When WhatsApp is linked & Approved on Manychat, does Manychat controls this WABA?That means the WABA is locked to ManyChat's platform and Meta intentionally restricts direct API access to itself directly. Is this is by design? ie. ManyChat manages the API layer on my behalf. I ask this because I’m trying to build a Make workflow to send an HTTP scenario from Google Sheets directly to a WhatsApp number via the META Whatsapp API. (to access it independently, via Meta).  I’m hitting a permission wall over and over again here.Im not successful yet with A below. I want to try B now. SUMMARY:A:  Meta Cloud API — works only if YOU own and control the WABA directly, not through a Tech Provider like ManyChat B:  ManyChat API — works only for existing subscribers, but since ManyChat owns the WABA, this is the correct path for your setup

Hi ,I'm running into an issue after disconnecting and reconnecting my WhatsApp Business Account (WABA) to Manychat. Here’s what happened: I originally had my WhatsApp number connected to Manychat and everything was working fine.   The WABA was verified and connected to a shared credit line in Meta Business Manager. Recently, I had to delete and reconnect the WhatsApp integration inside Manychat. After doing that, Manychat seems to have created a new WABA instance, and now: I see “Access removed” next to the original credit line in Business Manager. I can’t select the original credit line or ad account during the reconnection flow. Can´t connect again my whatsapp with coexistence. I want to restore the connection to

Hi everyone! I've set up an automation and I'm seeing a very worrying discrepancy between my "Sent" and "Delivered" metrics, and I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what's going wrong.Here is how my flow works: Trigger: User leaves a comment on a Facebook post. Message #1: Bot sends a message with a button asking them to confirm they want a link to a free test. (Sent as 'as Private Reply'). Action: User clicks the button, receives the message with the link, and a Smart Delay of 45 minutes starts. Message #2: A follow-up message checking in on their test results and offering a low-ticket paid product. The Problem: My "Delivered" rates are drastically lower than the "Sent" rates, despite everything happening well within the 24-hour interaction window.

Hi! I'm having an issue with the Automation Pause feature and hoping someone can help.The Problem:I have "Pause automations during conversations" set to 3 hours in my Inbox settings, but ManyChat is still sending flows even after a live agent has replied to the contact.My Questions:1. Why is the automation pause not triggering even though the setting is enabled?2. Is the automation pause ONLY triggered when replying through the ManyChat Inbox? If an agent replies directly through Facebook Messenger (outside of ManyChat), will the pause NOT be triggered?3. Is there any way for ManyChat to detect when a reply is sent through Facebook Messenger directly — so it can automatically pause the automation even without using the ManyChat Inbox?What I've observed:In the conversation log, I can see a note that automated replies have been paused temporarily — but the flows still seem to be running regardless.Is the only solution to

I’m new to Manychat and have linked both FB and IG accounts. I’m on the Pro 14 day trial. When I go to set up auto DM from comments I don’t see any of my FB posts to select from, only Instagram posts. I want to use the feature with Facebook. I have refreshed, checked buisness integration permissions, logged out and in again to Manychat, started the flow from scratch but nothing works. Not sure what to try next? Any help would be appreciated :) 

Hello Manychaters,I need help setting up the "Instagram Comment Automation" (Auto-DM) for specific ads created directly in Meta Ads Manager.The problem: These are Dark Posts, so they do not appear on my main Instagram profile feed. Consequently, I cannot find them in the "Select Publication" list in ManyChat triggers.My constraint: I cannot use the "Any Post" trigger because I am promoting multiple different offers simultaneously (Summer Camps, Weekend Tours, etc.), and I need to send a different specific flow for each ad.The question: Is there a way to connect a specific Flow to a specific Ad Post ID manually? Or is the only solution to use "Any Post" combined with unique keywords for each ad creative?Thanks for your help!

Hello, I’m Brazilian and I speak Portuguese. I’m experiencing a problem with the contact limit. It says I can have up to 1,000 contacts, but it also shows that I already have 1,475 contacts. However, I have already deleted all contacts from the list, and the number still remains the same.What should I do?  

Hi everyone,In my “Say hi to new followers” automation, I offer a free recipe guide in the initial message. If the follower clicks the button, that triggers the next message with an external URL button to the guide. I get quite a few people that don’t click, the button but rather write a reply like “oh yes please!” and then the automation stops. Is there a workaround where I don’t have to manually action all of these?

Hi everyone! I have a quick question.I’ve been using Manychat for about two years and I’ve built up a list of around 23,000 contacts across my automations.Is there a way to send a one-time broadcast message to all of these contacts at once?I want to make sure I’m doing it correctly and within the platform rules.Any tips, best practices, or things I should watch out for would mean a lot.Thanks in advance! 🙌

I'm trying to register my WhatsApp number to a new Manychat account, but it keeps showing the following error:"The phone number entered is not associated with the selected company. To continue, you need to unlink this phone number from the company in question or enter another number."The number is not connected to any Facebook page.How can I proceed?

Hi guysI would like to put a tag on my “Say hi to new followers” automation - when followers click for my free guide, I want it to assign a tag to them, so my team member knows who to follow up with - how do I do this?

Why does the auto-message to follower feature use a different font and require a button at the bottom? It doesn't look like a natural message, and because it appears automated, the response rates(double tap like) are quite low. I usually send these messages manually myself. It takes a bit more effort, but the response rate is much higher. While this new feature saves some time, it makes the greeting feel less personal and less like it was sent by a real person. Is it possible for us to change these?For example, can we at least have an option to remove the button at the bottom. Otherwise, it looks exactly like an automated system message and comes across as really insincere.

I can’t see the dynamic block in intstagram, am i doing something wrong?

Hi guys, I have an AI agent integrated with n8n and Gemini and one of the issues is that when a Live Agent needs to chime in and interact with the user, the AI agent doesn’t get the context and since this automatically pauses the automations, all the info is not sent to n8n.I saw that there’s no official way of solving this and there’s an open feature request:  but I wonder how you have solved this issue on your agent? Appreciate the help here!Thanks

I’ve watched many videos and support information. What I am struggling with is how to use these flows and ideas to sell a tangible product. It seems that Manychat is ideal for selling services, coaching and marketing expertise. But what if you have artwork? I can’t offer constant “free” materials as an incentive for email addresses. When I offer a discount code… never get a response. I have had over 700 engagements with new followers, dms, stories, etc. Only gained 4 new emails. Trying to figure out how to make it be more effective. Any advice, links, suggestions, details… I am hopeful to know more.  Thank you.

Se eu já mandar logo de cara após a pessoa comentar na postagem, uma mensagem já com um botão de link para whatsapp, tem perigo de tomar spam do Instagram?

Hi everyone, I’m stuck with a very strange Instagram connection issue in ManyChat and would really appreciate any insights. I wanted to contact official support, but I’m unable to upgrade my ManyChat account because no workspace is created. When I try to upgrade, I’m redirected back to my dashboard without any active Instagram channel. So I currently don’t have access to proper support either. Meta confirms that my Instagram Business account is successfully connected. The authorization flow completes without errors, and I get the confirmation that the Business Portfolio is linked. However, no Instagram workspace is created inside ManyChat. After the connection finishes, I’m redirected back to the reconnect screen and my account is not visible. There is no “Already connected” error anymore. It looks successful on Meta’s side, but ManyChat doesn’t initialize the channel. I have already:• Switche

hello i'm just trying to understand the free account - it says 25 contacts but i've jsut set up an auto dm link from comment. does this mean it will only work for 25 people?

“Thank you for reaching out! Unfortunately, it’s not possible to remove a sign-in option, such as Telegram, once it’s been added to your account. This limitation is due to security features designed to protect account access and integrity. If you have any concerns about this or need help managing your account, feel free to let me know. I’m here to assist!” I simply do not understand why this is considered a ‘security feature’. Picture this: in the event your telegram account is compromised, and you are unable to retrieve said telegram account, how am I supposed to prevent the person from accessing my Manychat account? Why can’t I have a way to authenticate myself so I can initiate the removal of other sign-in options? 1. Create a new Manychat account• Use a different sign-in method (Google, Facebook, etc.) to create a new Manychat account.2. Accept admin

 I’m facing an issue where the pre-filled message from my WhatsApp ads is not being properly detected by ManyChat.When a user clicks the ad and sends the default pre-filled message, the message is delivered normally to WhatsApp. However: ManyChat does not recognize it as an ad opt-in The Ad ID is not detected The trigger based on Ad ID does not fire The contact appears as unattributed Because of this, I cannot trigger flows based on the ad and have to rely on generic triggers.Has anyone experienced this issue with WhatsApp ad attribution and pre-filled messages not being recognized?

Context:I run an app/website where users sign up and accept terms allowing us to contact them via WhatsApp. Their data is stored in my database (sometimes I can also feed contacts via Google Sheets).What I need is: every time a new contact is created, ManyChat should automatically send a WhatsApp Message Template (Marketing or Utility) after a few hours/days (welcome/onboarding), without any manual importing/tagging.Issue:When I try to do this via API, ManyChat blocks it and says I need some kind of approval/permission, and that I have to do it manually. This doesn’t scale (I may get 10–50 new signups).My questions: What exactly is the approval/permission I need to create/import WhatsApp contacts via API and then trigger automation? Is it plan-related, WhatsApp channel-related, or a feature that Support

Hello, I have tried to use the utility message but every message that I put is rejected. From looking on META, it looks like you have to follow a certain format to get accepted but it is not clear, how to get these messages on Manychat. Any help appreciated on what to do. I am trying to reach contacts outside of the 48 hour period. Thanks
