Les automatisations de messages privés et de commentaires Manychat fonctionnaient correctement depuis deux mois, mais elles ont soudainement cessé ? Aidez-moi. J'ai essayé de résoudre le problème comme indiqué par le chatbot Manychat, mais sans succès. Auriez-vous une solution ?

I need to verify my ManyChat issued phone number again in Whatsapp Business manager (see screenshot). But I can not find where in manychat I can receive this SMS. How can I simply reverify my phone number?Extra info: My phone number was created with a Manychat pro subscription, I now do not have this subscription anymore and I don't use Manychat anymore. But still Manychat has the phone number, and I do want to keep the phone number. How can I do this? 

Hi team!I recently was creating a new account for a client using Instagram as a channel. I filled the usual survive and then I proceeded to visit the Settings tab for Instagram channel and I noticed a Dataset was already connected.This dataset was definitely created by ManyChat as this is also a brand new Business Manager; I don’t remember what was the question that triggered the dataset creation but I definitely think you should display a clear note that states a dataset will be created, ideally with a toggle to enable or disable this step.Reason for these suggestions is that not everyone (myself included) are happy with assets like this being created automatically without a proper notification.

This is a first. I will run through my set up and then the "error". At 5:30pm, Sunday through Saturday an scenario in Make.com will trigger to gather the information of appointment data (Acuity Scheduling) of the next day and send an appointment reminder to either confirm, re-schedule or cancel their appointment. Every patient in Acuity must have their own phone number in order to send the reminder through WhatsApp. I first look for the contact in Manychat with the phone number as a custom field. If the contact doesn't exists, it is created. After that, I update some of the contact's custom fields that contain the appointment data and finally I send the message using the "Send Flow" module of Manychat in Make.com.This has been working good for over a month now. Yesterday the workflow ran as usual with no errors.This is one of the situations in which the "error" occured.I get notified that some patients didn't receive the reminder and here's the kicker: in the chat with the contact the

Hey everyone! I’m having an issue with sending messages through Make after a user sends us a DM on Instagram.Here’s the situation: A user sends a new message (text or DM reply) That should reset the 24-hour interaction window, right? But when I try to send a follow-up message using Make + ManyChat API, it still says the interaction is outside the window. I’ve verified that the user replied within the last few minutes, but it’s like ManyChat doesn’t detect it in time or doesn’t update the window properly.

Hi Community 👋I have a subscriber whose contact information in ManyChat shows “Opted-In for WhatsApp” However, when I try to send them a flow using the sendFlow API, I get this error: "Content can’t be sent to the subscriber without a message tag. Subscriber’s last interaction was over 58h ago (more than 24 hours ago)."  I assumed that being marked as “Opted-In for WhatsApp” would allow messages outside the 24-hour window, but apparently not? Could someone please clarify: Does "Opted-In for WhatsApp" allow sending after 24h? Note I am sending message_tag: "CONFIRMED_EVENT_UPDATE".

Hi :)I’m sending a request to Manychat to create a WhatsApp Contact. If the contact already exists, I receive a 400 (makes sense). The thing I can’t seem to understand is how do I update a contact that already exists and only has a “whatsapp_phone” as a field I can refer to. I can’t use the findBySystemField request to find the ID (because the contact doesn’t have a phone or email in Manychat) and I can’t update the contact without the ID.Please help!Thanks

I am on a Free Plan. I am using Auto-DM Links From Comments feature. I have created 4 automations. My Free Contacts Limit is 0/1000.I am not using any Pro Feature.Now I am unable to create new automation. As I press the Go Live button, it prompts me to buy Pro Version.Please help to resolve this problem or please share email or something which can connect me directly to Manychat team. Thank you.

Am I able to collect contact info on free version using DM’s or do I need pro version, and if possible with free version can someone direct me on how I would set that up to collect say their email. Thank you.

I was filling the basic information for the use of  manychat pro, and when I put my identification code for Brazil (cpf) the system reported  “there is an issue” and didn’t show what was wrong. It cant do it,  because the information i gave was 100% right.   I don’t have a support to help. Who on earth believe that they can automatize everything?I need a human help

Hello Manychatters! I'm trying to find a template to create a new automation in MenuChat, but I don't see the option to redirect customers to your website. I'm not sure why this is happening, because my colleague has this option available on his account, and I need it to redirect my customers to the appropriate attachments.Could you please let me know if you've encountered this issue before and if there's a way to fix it?

hi there,  Im wondering about using many chat to push people to a trivia page with Quiz Questions to warm up potential attendees to quiz events.  It would look like this -  Ad is running for a Harry Potter quiz evening event. The ad is pushing people to the ticket purchasing page. Within the Ad is a prompt for people to comment something like ‘comment POTTER10 and we will send you 10 free questions that will be asked on the night to prepare you’ the viewer would then comment POTTER10 and a message would then be sent to their inbox with a link to the page with the 10 questions and answers.  Am I able to do this? I want to the AD to go to the ticket purchase page. I DONT want the ad to be solely for the purpose of sending them the link to the questions.  Is this possible? Thanks in advance! Andrew

Hi,  we are trying to sale different products on our Instagram Lives based on keywords in our live chat. The issue is only one automation is firing, but after, say they want to view a different product the next automation won’t trigger even though it’s set to a different keyword. In settings, I see there is a “Pause automations during conversations” but no way to turn off or lower the “30min” timer. Is this option limiting the automation from triggering, or are we not setting up this process correctly? 

I have tried many time to connect manychat to connect it to my facebook and instagram,  but it says that your account is already connected to instagram. But I dont know which account is connected to it, Is there any solution to disconnect my accounts from manychat?

Hi I recently changed my credit card so I am trying to update billing method on manychat. Anyways it won’t let me update my billing method because I can’t get back to my “owner” account. I have a PRO account under my email which I get billed 125 a month for, for 20,000 contacts and it’s been automatically paying, but when I try signing in with that email to manychat, it is saying no accounts exists. The only reason I can still control automation is because I gave another one of my emails access, but it still won’t let me change the billing.Is there anyway I can contact manychat to update the billing for the pro account or allow me to login? I have proof that I am the owner and getting invoiced every month.

How do we contact Manychat to submit a support ticket? We cannot find an email address. What is the email address for support?

I have been spending SO much money on meta and CTA is a Manychat prompt and i am getting HUNDREDS of responses that are spam and say “not everyone can message this...” this started recently as when we first launched we were seeing success! HELP! i am about to cancel manychat since i am spending $’s and manychat is just costing me thousands of dollars for fake responses. 

I want to create a new automation and link it to my previous facebook post. I have the link, but when I enter it here, it appears like this. How to solve it? 

Hi.I have an issue with an integration from ManyChat to Kit. Here is the ManyChat automation: cf. screenshots.The part happening in the ManyChat DMs is working, but then my test contact (email) isn't being added to the Kit form and my Kit integration doesn't start.Meanwhile, when I opt-in directly via the Kit form, the automation starts and runs normally.So the issue seems to be in the connection between Manychat and Kit.Any advice?

Hey everyone! Excited to get started with manychat!  I need to sign into my outlook email in order to access my work account, but I don’t have that option or at least I can’t find it anywhere. Do I need to create a new gmail and then switch the email on my IG account to the gmail. or is there a way to get my outlook email into manychat so that I don’t have to go through the headache of creating something new and completely switching it out?Thank you! 

Hi everyone – I’m building an AI-powered Instagram DM assistant in ManyChat (Pro plan) for a coffee shop, and I need help bypassing the built-in “Default Reply” greeting so that the very first customer message goes directly into my ChatGPT action. Here’s what I’ve set up and where I’m stuck:  1) What I’ve Built  Automation type: Instagram Default Reply (Automations → Basic → Default Reply) Trigger: User sends a Direct Message Canvas flow:   Default Reply (pink card that says “Hey, how can I help you?”) AI Step (ChatGPT integration with my full FAQ-style context & system prompt) Send Message ({{response}})  This consistently returns perfect context-driven answers… but only after the user sees the greeting and has to re-ask their question.  2) The Problem  First DM: User writes “What milk do you offer?” → Bot replies “Hey, how can I help you?” Second DM: User must repeat “What milk do you offer?” → Bot finally returns “We have Whole, Oat, Almond, Soy, Coconut…”  I

I recently launched a load of new automations for a client - and they have absolutely flown, which is amazing!BUT - this has left them with the issue of having so many messages in Live Chat that they are struggling to sort the DMs from automation from the ones that are manually sent.They need to be able to quickly respond to people who manually send them a question - but these are being lost among the sheer amount of automated conversations.How can we filter Conversations where the last interaction was a manual activity, NOT an automated one?

This is month 2 of my automations not working. I have 3 profiles on my account all automation stopped working out of no where. I setup Comment Keyword, select post etc its live 20 ppl commented and nothing went to them nor did they get the auto reply in the comment section. everything was working fine for the past year. Now im paying and no automation. I refreshed the profile numerous times and i believe i made sure manychat has all permissions toggled on for facebook permission. Please Help!!!
