Storing Tags in Custom Fields?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to manage tags within Manychat. Specifically, I want to store multiple tags inside a custom fields.Has anyone successfully done this? If so, could you share your methods or any workarounds you've found? I'm looking for tips on how to structure the data, add/remove individual tags from the custom field, and potentially use that data for segmentation or conditional flows.Any advice or examples would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Manually respond to Facebook and Instagram comments

I made Facebook and Instagram automations to trigger on a new comment on any post. I want to reply to them manually therefore my Next step in automation is just Mark conversation as Open.These conversations appear in Live Chat but I cannot respond and get “User hasn’t responded to your Comment Automation yet, so you can’t message them in Live Chat.” error message.How do I enable responding to the comment via a comment manually? I do not want to automate these comment replies just yet and I don’t want to message them, just a plain manual comment reply. I also want to make sure I have just one place with “tasks” so I can reply to both messages and comments from one place (Live Chat) and it responds to the corresponding channel (Facebook / Instagram messages / comments).

Unable to edit automations even if ads have been turned off.

I read this guidance in ManyChat documents. I wanted to edit my automation flow so I did already turned all my ads off but still hitting this notification.It happened not like the way Manychat claiming. What should I do? I do not want to remove my flow from my ads and publish them again, it is time-wasted.

Instagram automation will not see latest post

I am using the free version. The automation itself works. However, it is not showing up the latest posts. The latest post that it shows was 5 months ago. I tried to refresh the permission from Settings but still not working. Please help. Thanks.

Automation Not Sending

Hi everyone,I'm having an issue where my automation message doesn’t send when the flow is live. I tested it (in live mode) using myself as the contact, and it worked—but when triggered for actual users, nothing gets delivered. Any idea what could be causing this?screenshot with the details:

automation not working

Hello, I am setting up an automation to send a single link to those who comment on a real post on my instagram account with a keyword. I installed it by going through the popular topics and I also tried different experiments using the add trigger menu. I don't encounter any errors during installation. The automation is running. However, when I tested it, automation on instagram does not work. What could I be doing wrong? I am now in a 14-day trial. I thought I would buy it if it works. Do I necessarily need to buy pro? I connect to instagram via Meta. When I look at the instagram settings in Manychat, there is no error in the connection. When installing the trigger, there are two options at the top, preview screen and try it on instagram. When I say try on Instagram, it gives me a code. When I try by typing this code with DM, the trigger does not work. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Accidentally gave wrong keyword for auto-dm link, over 200 commenters didn't receive DM; is it possible to fix this?

I made a post for my company telling people about a live debate coming up on Sunday. I told people to comment “DEBATE” to get a link in their DMs to the livestream. But then while setting up the automation I brainfarted and made the keyword “WATCH” instead. I fixed the keyword when I noticed the mistake several hours later, but over 200 people commented the incorrect keyword before I noticed. None of them got a DM. Is there any way I can get the link to all those people’s DMs without manually going through all 200+ of them and sending the same DM over and over?

Tag Failed migration CUF to SUF

HELP!!! Has anyone had this problem? On May 15th, this tag Failed migration CUF to SUF 15/05/2025 12:08 was automatically added by the system to some chats, but I don’t know what it means. Since that date, I’ve been facing some issues: according to the filters in ManyChat, I’ve been receiving the usual number of chats (around 800), but the agents are receiving far fewer (only 20–30 per day). I’ve checked the Unassigned and Closed folders for the missing chats, but they’re not there. Where else could those chats be?

Running Javascript within Manychat

Dear ManyChat Support Team,I hope you're doing well.I would like to ask if ManyChat currently offers a built-in option to add an action that allows us to run JavaScript code directly within a flow. If not, is the recommended approach to use an HTTP request to call an external service in order to perform custom logic or data manipulation?I’m currently on the Pro plan and looking for the most efficient way to handle dynamic content and logic inside ManyChat.Looking forward to your guidance.Best regards,Faisal Rathor

Unable to use DM-links Automation on Free Plan

Hello!Manychat seems to be prompting me to upgrade to a Pro Plan (I’m currently on the free plan) in order to use DM-Link automation. I have 4 DM link automations set up right now for 4 of my posts, however, to add a 5th, it’s asking me to upgrade to Pro. I was under the impression this was available on the free plan (correct me if I’m wrong). And as far as I’m aware, I haven’t reached the contacts threshold or enabled in any other pro features to trigger it.It’s all a bit confusing, so I’d love if anyone can give some insight into what it could be. Thank you!
