I would like to use automation for a post, which would require the follower to provide their email address, but it seems that this is a mandatory requirement. Let me explain:It seems that the user is forced to send me their email address in order to receive something in return.In automations, I would like the email request to the follower not to be mandatory or, in any case, to be optional, even if something is provided in return.Because it seems that the flow is:DM from the followerEmail request to receive the link or tool.Am I missing something?

Hey everyone,Is anyone else having this issue lately?My flow worked perfectly before:1️⃣ User comments “skills”2️⃣ They get a DM asking to reply “cypher”3️⃣ When they reply “cypher,” the flow should continueNow nothing happens after they reply.If I reply “cypher” myself, the next message appears — but it still says the user isn’t following me (even though they are).I already refreshed permissions 3 times, nothing changes.I’m getting 50+ DMs per hour stuck like this, it’s chaos.Anyone else seeing this bug or found a fix?

I’m in the process of setting up a new Facebook ad, but the automation I configured earlier doesn’t seem to be functioning. Could you please check what might be causing the issue?  

Since a couple of days the buttons are not working on Instagram DMs. If you tap on them the automation does not start. Can you please fix this asap, as we are loosing customers sales due to this. Thanks

Hey everyone!I'd love to use the manychat automations for email list growth but I'm concerned about GDPR compliance. When we connected manychat to Active Campaign people got added to the list but they didn’t receive the email for the double opt in which is mandatory in Europe. Does this not work with manychat? What’s the best way to use manychat for email list growth while also staying GDPR compliant.Thank you in advance for the help!!!

Hola!! Necesito ayuda!Llevo 3 días intentando crear campañas de META ADS con JSON (lo hago de manera habitual) y me ha desaparecido la opción de seleccionar en META de seleccionar aplicación con socio. Me he dado cuenta que se ha desvinculado de Manychat la api de conversiones y no me deja logearme ni con token ni añadiendo la cuenta de META… por lo que no puedo conectar mis campañas con los flujos de Manychat, ¿alguien tiene el mismo problema? ¿cómo puedo solucionarlo?Gracias!

I cross post my instagram reels to my facebook. How can I get the automation to transfer too? It only ever works in instagram DMS

My client made a new post, but the automation for instagram comments to reply comment and dm wasn’t set up for that post yet. He got many comments, but none of them received a comment back or a dm. I’d like to kick off the automation manually for the people who never got their DMs for this post - is there a way to do that?The people who comment from now on will get the DM because the automation is now linked, but the people who commented previously got nothing.I hope there’s a way to manually kick these off retroactively without needing to do any manual work.Would appreciate any help - Thank you!

How can I connect manychat to meta ads manager? The option to choose manychat as partner app is now gone. the only option is create template or use a JSON code. I tried to follow the guide in Manychat Instagram Ads triggerBut the information on the guide is obselete, because there is no option to choose partner app. Any info how to find the option?

I already went through this in detail: https://help.manychat.com/hc/en-us/articles/14281321942428-Instagram-Ads-Trigger#h_01J5X89X1VV5ZEZYGZQG65X1FH The instagram ad trigger is working and is live. It has the quick reply and works. When I come to integrate with the facebook ad manager however it does not show manychat under the partner apps.  I'm basically having the same problem highlighted here: https://community.manychat.com/general-q-a-43/partner-apps-not-available-as-option-during-ad-creation-4973?postid=15731#post15731 Any fix?

I changed my brand and I need to change the display name and profile picture of my Whatsapp number. I already changed it on Meta's Business Manager, they approved it and issued a new certificate, but I can't figure out how I update that information inside ManyChat.

Cuando un usuario envía un mensaje desde WhatsApp o Messenger que contiene saltos de línea o líneas separadas, por ejemplo: Hola más INFORMACION ManyChat interpreta cada línea como mensajes independientes o concatena el texto de forma errónea, lo que provoca que: Los flujos automatizados se rompan. El bot no reconoce correctamente la intención del mensaje porque el texto no llega como una sola cadena, sino dividido o con caracteres especiales (\n, \r, etc.). Las solicitudes externas (External Requests) se desincronicen. El cuerpo JSON que se envía al servidor o a la API (por ejemplo, Replit con ChatGPT u OCR) llega fragmentado o con saltos que impiden el parseo correcto, generando respuestas repetidas o nulas.

Hi,I have setup manychat autmation ‘Auto-DM from Comments’ for a reel and it works perfectly fine. However, the automation doesn’t work at all when the reel is boosted. How to fix this?P.S. I noted that meta creates a different reel ID for the boosted reel and perhaps that’s why manychat is unable to apply automation to it.. but at the same time, in Manychat’s documentation, it is written that it does work for boosted content. 

Hi everyone! 👋I'm running into a strange issue with my automation. In one of my flows, I added a message with just one button as a reply option. But when I test it on Instagram, two extra buttons show up — and those ones doesn’t exist in my flow at all.Here’s what I’ve already tried: Rebuilt the entire flow from scratch (no copy-pasting) Cleared the Instagram conversation and started fresh Double-checked that no other keyword, trigger, or default reply is interfering Made sure there are no other conditions, fallback paths, or user fields affecting the flow Even after all that, the mystery buttons still appears Has anyone experienced something similar? Any ideas what might be causing it?Thanks in advance for your help! 🙏
