Hi everyone,I noticed the new "Connect your WhatsApp Business App with Coexistence (BETA)" option in ManyChat. I understand it’s currently available in countries like the US, Brazil, and others.Can anyone confirm if Pakistan is supported yet for this feature — either officially or unofficially?Would really appreciate any experiences or insights from others trying it from Pakistan.Thanks in advance

Hi, what’s the correct setup for capturing user data from first-time messages on Facebook and Instagram pages so I can include them in future broadcasts?Currently, my setup starts with a Welcome Message where I collect tags from the user. However, I can't use those tags in my Broadcasts because no subscribers are showing up. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I wonder how to send broadcasting(messages) to my subscribers within the system, not e-mails? It shows following message: "0 subscribers will receive this broadcastTry selecting others or reducing some of them. You also have the option to import new contacts."The AI agent couldn’t solve this.I tried to look up some instruction videos on Youtube, but they didn’t address this issue and it looked like those people making the video the system did automatically assigned the broadcasting to the subscribers without any such errors. I have obtained consent in the opt-in flow.Thank you for any insights.

I need to delete my current WhatsApp number that is connected to Minchat and then connect (in a way that allows the number to be both in Minchat and with me) a new number, my question is what will happen with all the automations I have already built, the WhatsApp template for which I have already received approval, and the broadcasts I have built?Will they be deleted completely?Will they remain but I will not be able to use them, or will I be able to activate them all once I have a new number?I would love to hear from anyone who knows..

Hi! I’m new to ManyChat and really confused about this. In my flow I ask a question with two buttons, and they work fine when clicked. But if the user just types instead of clicking, nothing happens. I don’t really know how to handle this properly — is AI Step the only way, or is there a way to fix it without AI? Thanks for any advice! 🤗

Hello there,I integrated product catalogue to WhatsApp and I can now automate a reply when user send a cart.But I wonder if I can read the product details and extract them to a CUF from the sent cart by a user whereas I only can see the following photo from live chat

Hi Manychat Support,I have connected my Instagram Business account and I'm on a Pro plan, but I still cannot see the Broadcasts option for Instagram in my dashboard.I have already: Connected my Instagram account successfully Created a segment and added subscribers Checked permissions and connection status (everything looks fine) Waited more than 24 hours after sending and receiving messages Despite all of this, the Broadcast feature for Instagram is still not visible.Could you please help me activate the Instagram broadcast option or let me know if I'm missing something?Thank you very much!Best regards,[Your Dendr]

Hi Community,Sometimes, say 5%, of the messages i setn in a campaign end up on the status “Message failed to send.” Although there is documentation on certain error codes, i cant find where i can see these “errors” https://help.manychat.com/hc/en-us/articles/15580879039388-Why-WhatsApp-messages-are-sometimes-not-delivered#message-undeliverableDoes anyone know where i can see the error messages or underlying cause for this?Normally i take this a collateral damage and just X% that is unreachable, but for now it is with a test-number of my client so like to understand the reason better.Thank in advance!

Hello Everyone!!Am I the only one like REALLY lost with the new update? I need a flow that was built like an automations without the visual interface to open the flow interface so I can add things? No idea why its so limited now.I really wouldn't like to build it from scratch again. Please let me know :) thanks~feel so lost.  

Hi everyone!  I’m wondering if anyone has successfully connected ManyChat with Meta’s Business Inbox in a way that allows Meta tags (labels)—like the ones you assign in the Meta Inbox —to be automatically created or updated in ManyChat.This would be super useful for aligning sales and marketing workflows, especially when sales teams prefer to work directly in Meta’s Inbox.Has anyone figured out a workaround, or maybe used an integration (like Make, Zapier, or API calls) to achieve this?Thanks in advance! Cata Rendon

My business did a paid partnership with another brand and used the many chats automated comment feature. It worked fine for the post, but now that the brand is boosting the post it no longer works. Anyone know why and if it’s possible to fix it? Thank you!

Hello, I’ve set up an Instagram automation using the Instagram Ads Trigger, and created a campaign through Meta following this tutorial:  The campaign shows a lot of engagement, and my Instagram inbox shows that some users have been served the first message in the flow, after which they tapped the Quick Reply button, but no further messages were sent to them from the flow.   My Manychat inbox shows none of these conversations, which seems strange to me, as I can clearly see the conversation in Instagram. I’ve double checked all the settings, and the preview within Manychat works perfectly. I’ve spent over $200 on this campaign, but can’t show my client any results, which is concerning.  Any suggestions as to why this isn’t working? TIA,Wayne

Hey.Been using manychat for months.i have 2 accounts connected and have many automations. all have been working well until two days ago.Wondering whats is up and what i can do to rectify

My reel on insta got 100k views with 2k comments, Now the link is not working which is inside the flow. what to do and is it safe to message 2k contacts or should i stop the flow ?

Hi everyone,I'm working on a Manychat automation for Instagram and have set up a trigger using the keyword "info" (screenshot of the flow is attached).The logic appears to be connected properly, and the trigger is enabled. However, the automation still shows "0 runs", even after multiple test messages using the word "info" in different ways. I also can't preview it on instagramHere’s what I’ve already tested: Sent messages directly via Instagram DM Tried different variations like "info" and "can I get some info?" Verified that the flow is published and live Made sure the keyword trigger is turned on There is some conditional logic in the flow that might be affecting how it runs, but I’m not sure if that’s the cause.I’d appreciate any insight or a second pair of eyes on this, thanks in advance. 

Facebook Ads not appearing in Automation settings even after reconnecting Facebook with full permissions. what to do?

Hello Manychat Community,I have attempted to set up a rather basic automation of Auto-DM links from comments. The Automation works, but not how I thoguht it would, in other words, I set it up to send a DM on specific words “Discipline” for example. But I want to set it up so that it would send it ONLY if somebody comments SOLELY the word discipline and nothing else.In the way that it is now, is that if that word is used in a sentencer, it will still send a DM. For example:“I love the way that I have been building my discipline.” → Send a DM but I DON’T want it to.“Discipline” → Sends a DM, and I would like to automate that it sends ONLY in this case, with just the word “Discipline” written in the comments. I have looked around the platform but couldn’t find anything to configurate it.I would be very grateful if someone could assist me with that, thank you! JC

I’m brand new to this so sorry if a silly question. I’m just starting a new instagram page and I want to send an automated thankyou to anyone who follows my page. Is there a way of doing that automatically? 

Hello Community,I’m Prakash Hinduja from Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss) want to create my very first bot but not sure where to begin — it feels a bit overwhelming with all the features and options.  For those who’ve already built a bot, do you have any tips, best practices, or beginner-friendly steps you’d recommend? Maybe a template or tutorial that really helped you when you were just starting out?Would love to hear how you approached your first bot — appreciate any suggestions or advice!Thanks in advanceRegardsPrakash Hinduja Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss) 

I use many chat to send people to sign up for a free video. Most people access it fine but I get a steady stream of people who have problems. Including “I don’t want to open it in threads”. I don’t send them to threads. Is this IG sending them there instead of my site? Anything I can do about it? Or do I just need to accept that a percentage get glitches??

I'm trying to understand how ManyChat handles overlapping Instagram triggers. Here's the situation: I have one trigger set to fire on all Instagram post comments. I have another trigger set to fire on a specific Instagram post. Both triggers use the same keyword. A user comments with that keyword on the specific post. In this case, what happens? Does ManyChat run both flows? Or does it only trigger one, and if so, which one takes priority?

Hello, How can I send a dm to all my followers? Or to all the people I've interacted with via manychat automations?

Hi everyone,I hope you're all doing well. I need a quick help.I’ve set up an AI Agent using ManyChat's native AI.The conversation was already open and a real person was chatting with the user, but the AI Agent jumped in just because it recognized a word, not based on user intent.Can anyone tell me how I can prevent the AI Agent from interfering in situations like this?Thank you,Samar Abbas  

Hello,I send DM to people who comment on my instagram post and ask for GSM number. Than my flow jumps to another flow to send a WhatsApp message. But it's not working. Is it possible to do such thing? Regards
