Ads Meta data sources, my Instagram account is "not eligible" WHY ?

I've launched an ad campaign and the ads optimization settings are going well. Then, after a few days, nothing works anymore. I look at the trigger Instagram ads is deactivated and doesn't appear at all. I go to redo the “Ads optimization” settings, then when I reconnect a “messaging” data source, the instagram account selection is no longer available because it's apparently ineligible. Thanks in advance for your help.

How to create code/pgm/function for reuse in Manychat ?

I want to fetch data from an Excel/Google Sheet in ManyChat to create a chatbot for Instagram..? Whenever I ask a question to the InstaBot, it should provide a response using the data available from Google Sheets, just like a database..?

Why does Zapier always show “Validation error” with no details for webhook/API errors?

Hi everyone,Whenever I use Webhooks by Zapier to send a POST request to an external API (like ManyChat’s), if something fails, Zapier always shows the same message:❌ Failed to create a request in Webhooks by ZapierThe app returned “Validation error”.This is extremely generic, and it’s the same message no matter what the actual issue is. But when I test the same request in Postman, I get a helpful error body from the API — for example, it might say something like “Missing phone number” or “Invalid field format,” which lets me fix the issue immediately.My questions are: Is there any way in Zapier to see the full API response, especially the message body? Could Zapier expose the raw error from the API in the task log, console, or anywhere behind the scenes? Is this something other users have run into? How are you debugging around this? I’d love any workarounds, tips, or clarification. Right now, I’m spending a lot of time guessing what went wrong because all I get is “Validation error

Problemas con respuestas del bot y pasos de IA en WhatsApp

Hola, estoy teniendo varios problemas con el funcionamiento del bot en WhatsApp. Cuando los clientes escriben cosas como “quiero esta” acompañado de una imagen, o hacen preguntas fuera del flujo como “método de pago” o “qué sabores tienen”, el bot no responde correctamente y muchas veces reinicia el flujo con el mensaje de bienvenida. También he configurado AI Steps y palabras clave, pero en algunos casos no se activan o el bot alucina respuestas. Necesito ayuda para entender si es un tema de configuración o una limitación de la plataforma, porque esto está afectando la experiencia del cliente. Gracias de antemano.

Typing Feature

Hello, is there an integration with Whatsapp, when in automation you add a delay, let's say 3 seconds, for the user to see that "typing" functionality?I believe this already exists in the integration with the messenger.Thanks

can't leave comment

Hi, in the ManyChat app, when it opens too many comments, the page gets reported and then we can't leave any more comments at all.Is there any option that allows it to automatically leave comments, but without overdoing it so that the page doesn’t get blocked?

Smart delay

Hello community, I have two questions about smart delay1.I set up an automation to notify my Instagram followers about a product promotion since we cannot use broadcasting in Instagram to all followers who used to leave a message.I'm not sure if this will work as expected. The Smart Delay is set to send them the promotional link 10 hours after their first interaction with me (=clicking the Show Me the Deal button), and they’re supposed to receive it between 9:00 AM and 10:00 PM in their time zone, right?2.An Instagram creator sent me a DM on March 29 right after I left a comment on her post. I only clicked on the button yesterday, but I still received an automated reply.That should have been outside the 24-hour messaging window, so I'm not sure why the auto-reply still worked. Do you know why this happened?Thanks in advance.

*URGENT* Messenger 'Subscription List' Is Broken

The last 5 days my opt in to message lists on messenger has broken. No-one has ‘opted in’. When looking at the facebook inbox side of things, people are clicking the button which sends the ‘get updates’ message from their end. But when looking at the manychat logs, this ‘get updates’ message does not appear, and none of my inquirers over the past 5 days have opted in. I have attacghed screenshots showing how this conversation looks on both the facebook and manychat side of thigns. This is not an isolated things and is effecting everyone who messages my page.This has been happening on my collegues accounts as well. Is anyone else encountering this problem or know of a fix?

New contacts not being added after clicking "Get Updates"

Hey everyone,We have thousands of contacts in our ManyChat broadcast list, and everything was working fine until a few hours ago. However, we’ve noticed that new people who click "Get Updates" are NOT being added to our broadcast list anymore.I’ve checked Messenger, and people are still clicking the button “Get updates” and engaging with the flow, but no new contacts have been added in the last 5-6 hours. They are only shown in the contacts section but they are not added to our broadcast list. Is anyone else experiencing this? Could this be a ManyChat bug, a Facebook API issue, or something else? Any insights or fixes would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!

Integrate Razorpay with Guide Delivery

Hi ManyChat,I'm interested in automating the process of mailing my guides to customers after successful payments through Razorpay. While I understand ManyChat doesn't directly integrate with Razorpay for this purpose, I've been reading about using workflow automation platforms like Make.com.Could you provide any guidance or resources on how I can set up this integration using ManyChat and Make.com?Specifically, I'd like to:Trigger a workflow in Make.com when a payment is successful in Razorpay. Use the customer information captured in Razorpay to send an email with a download link for the purchased guide.Any insights or pointers you can offer would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Aditya UjjainFounder, Hustlers League

How to opt in to Instagram broadcasts

Hi friends, I've been using ManyChat for a while to automatically answer comments and send links to DMs. But I haven't yet reached the next step of following up by offering those who messaged to opt in for individual broadcasts  (I.E. once they've opted in, I can send people DMs when there's an exciting announcement).I can't find out how to send people a follow up message asking them to sign up for my ManyChat DMsI got as far as Instagram Settings -> Opt-in Automation -> I set a trigger word "subscribe" -> I automatically send people a DM saying they're subscribed to receive our broadcasts -> But I don't think anything actually happens... I haven't cracked the middle part which is to "Set Instagram Opt-In"... Help?

Why many parts of my automation gets back to an old version on save? So bothering!

Hey, The question is in the title. That is SO frustrating to progress in your automation, then you save it and many parts of it randomly go back to a previous old version of the automation. I’m forced to review all the parts of the automation. It may be “due to the fact I didn’t clean my cache” but why would you keep this in the cache anyways and for some reason put randomly parts of the automation to an older version? Please fix basic things like that!
