What's going on with this trigger??

Hi,I started Manychat recently and I’m on the pro trial. I am trying to run a facebook messenger automation and my trigger is when user sends direct message (default reply) but it doesn’t seem to work.I have refreshed my facebook permissions and checked the automation and trigger is correctly configured.The only potential problem I can see is that my handover protocol role is “unknown”. I’ve tried changing it on facebook business settings but it is grayed out and disabled. I get the message: “Handover Protocol is disabled while we migrate to Conversation Routing” - Anyone else have the same thing?Is this the problem or could it be something else? Thanks!

Comments work but DMs and Story replies don't (paid account)

Hi guys, I have had a lot of success using the free version so recently upgraded to paid. My flows are being triggered successfully in comments but not in DMs or Story replies. I have remade them, tested them with different accounts, watched the videos from others Qs and still it’s not working in DMs/stories. I feel like it’s a facebook setting but I have been alllll over the place checking everything but there doesn’t appear to be an issue. Any help would be great. Thanks

LINK IN THE MESSAGE ON MY AUTOMATION

Hey! I can’t figure out how to send a DM automation with clickable links – these are trending audio links for Instagram. When I set them up in ManyChat, they appear in blue (clickable), but in the IG message, they just show as plain text. Any idea how to fix this?

Why did they remove Ref URLs and Growth Tools?

Does anyone know why URLs and QR codes as a trigger went away. I can see just 4 months ago people were able to use them and this app is useless to me as only a social media tool.  I want to be able to get people on my list at networking events and speaking engagements and I don’t want them to find some random post and leave a comment just to do a quiz I spent time creating.  As we can see with TikTok all social media platforms are not promised to us and if one of them goes down our entire funnel can be broken. It feels like because they can collaborated with Meta they have changed the features to force you to only be on social media tool use them. I want the option to do both. I want to be able to text a link, include it in an email, create a QR code. Not everyone is on FG/IG and certainly not the other platforms. I focus on YouTube and putting a link in the description would be helpful since they don’t have DM options.  This is frustrating!

People not seeing message

Anybody else keep getting DM’s from people that they aren’t seeing your message on their end even though you can see on your end???  I thought it was maybe because the person doesn’t follow me but I’m seeing it for people who follow me and people that don’t!  What’s the deal?

Facebook Ads Trigger – Message template JSON GT Opt-in not appearing

Hi everyone,I’m trying to set up a Facebook Ads Trigger in ManyChat by following the official guide here:https://help.manychat.com/hc/en-us/articles/14281372007196-Facebook-Ads-TriggerSo far I have: Created an automation and added my first message (with at least one Quick Reply). Added the “User clicks a Facebook Ad” trigger and activated it. Set that first message as the default starting step for Messenger. Saved, published, and made the flow live. However, when I go into Meta Ads Manager and choose Partner App → ManyChat, I never see the JSON GT opt-in snippet appear in the Message template section. It just shows a blank flow selector—no JSON code at all.Has anyone encountered this? What am I missing to make the JSON GT opt-in show up in my flow? Any advice or steps would be much appreciated!Thanks in advance,

Issues with non followers receiving automated DM

Have an automation in place to send 1 of 2 DM’s to people that comment on a post. One message includes a button with a link to an external site and works just fine. The second option is a message with quick reply options. It seems that accounts that don’t already follow us don’t receive this message. It gives them a message notification, and while on our end it looks like our message was sent, they have an empty DM.  Not sure if this is an issue with the automation, their Instagram DM limitations, or Instagram in general. Has anyone else had this issue or found a solution?

Automatic replies to comments

Hello everyone, I hope you're well.I've set up automatic replies to comments on my Facebook posts, and it works well. However, after a while, I get blocked by Facebook because the comments are coming too quickly over a relatively short period of time.I haven't found a way to space out the replies by setting a waiting time between replies (which can be in blocks).I would really like a solution, please. 🙏🏾
