I have tested my new automation, for a free guide but capturing their email address before they get access. I toggled off the ‘skip’ option to ensure they needed to enter an email, but on testing, and word triggers their access to the guide.How can I change this please? The whole point is to capture their email but without a funnel / sign up page

Since the recent changes to Manychat I am unable to set up automations with buttons that go to Thrivecart links. I just get an error message stating that it is not a valid link ….. This is so frustrating especially considering in my field Thrivecart is one of the main forms of external links to get affiliate income / recognition.The only way I can do this is to add the link in the text but that isn’t a great customer experience as they then have to copy and paste it anyway.Any idea when this glitch will be addressed / fixed? Is there a different way for me to get the convent clickable links for my followers?

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone can help me resolve this issue: I had a WhatsApp number registered in ManyChat, but my channel was deactivated due to insufficient funds. I’ve since added credits, but when trying to reconnect, WhatsApp requires SMS/call verification. The problem: I purchased this number directly through ManyChat, so it can’t receive SMS or calls (no physical SIM access). I already removed it from Meta Business Manager, but it still won’t verify. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a way to: Get ManyChat to verify the number without SMS (e.g., via email or manual approval). Migrate the number to an SMS-enabled provider (like Twilio). Or am I forced to use a new ph

Hello ManyChat Community!I'm encountering a peculiar issue with the ManyChat API and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this or has any ideas on how to resolve it.Scenario:When trying to create a new contact via API, I receive the error: 'This WhatsApp ID already exists: 5554999999999' However, when using the API Swagger to search for this contact (using the /fb/subscriber/findBySystemField endpoint), I receive: { "status": "success", "data": []}   This creates an impossible loop: I can't create the contact because it already exists, but I can't update it because the API says it doesn't exist!Additional details:The contact was originally imported into ManyChat. I've tried searching using both email and phone number, with the same result. I've checked the API token permissions, and they appear to be correct.

Hi, I’m trying to set up an IG Ref URL so that when a user clicks it (from an email, website etc), it automatically opens the IG app and the message is sent. I’ve got conversation starters all set up. How do I do this? 

Hello everyone, I noticed that this is a very recent problem.Since yesterday, the messages I send via the Instagram app haven't been received via webhook, so they don't appear in Manychat. On manychat i can only see the messages I send via Manychat. Is this problem specific to me? Does everyone else have this problem? Edit: Everything fine with inbound messages, the issue specific for outbound messages.

We have an AI Step configuration that requests data to schedule an appointment. This data is then sent to Zapier. It was working fine until around July 6, 2025. After that, it no longer saves the data provided by the user—only one field at the end of the conversation is saved, and it's saved incorrectly. We haven't made any changes to the flow in months, so we know we didn’t cause the issue. Why was it working without problems and now it’s not? What changed? Can someone please help us? The user provides their phone number, but it doesn’t get registered, nor does the email.AI Step Goal

Hello everyone.I’ve been using ManyChat over a year now and have several accounts on pro with AI supported. My messages on social media channels don’t show up even though there was a conversation.
