Ask the community

I made an automation with keyword, the first part works, but when the prospect gets the “Hey it’s Christian, thannks for requesting the xyz, just click Send It link below and I’ll get it over to you” - the Send It link does not activate the next message, it refreshes the page. I’ve tested it myself and had other test it. 

Is this community the only help option ManyChat gives? I just signed up, thanks

I can’t figure out how to get my account set up correctly. My social profiles are not connected as I am unable to use manychat features. Yet when I go to sign up, manychat sees my instagram, for instance, then says it’s connecting. Then a blue button comes up that says “switch account.” What does “switch account” mean? When I click it, it just redoes the sign up loop I just went through. There is apparently no customer service department at manychat. I’ve tried contacting them on three separate occasions and have heard nothing back. The AI help bot is worse than useless—a complete waste of time. I can’t seem to find anyone else who has this problem. Apparently everyone else easily connected their social profiles with zero problems? Everyone loves manychat but I can’t even sign up. I feel like I’m being gaslit about this service. I don’t even know what to ask? Is there a way to start over from scratch? Navigating manychat’s user interface reminds me a lot of facebook’s

I started using ManyChat last week, and it has been wonderful up until the past couple of days. Yesterday and today my automations don’t seem to be working quite right. My automation will be sent when someone comments on a post/reel. The DM seems to be sent just fine, but the public comment replies aren’t working anymore. Has anyone run into this issue? Is there a fix? 

I set up an automation where, when someone commented a specific word on my post, they’d get a DM. It worked the first time I used it, but even though it’s still live, it doesn’t work anymore. What should I do?

Hi everyone,I could really use your help with something:In the “common automatic reply” settings, I added a link that is supposed to take the user directly to our restaurant’s page inside the Wolt app. Unfortunately, when someone clicks it, it opens our page in their mobile browser instead of opening the Wolt app itself.The link works correctly on other platforms, so I’m not sure what might be causing this behavior.Does anyone have an idea why this happens or how it can be fixed?Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

How do I connect ??

Hi, my Telegram bot @JobSlimBot_bot is connected to Manychat. Messages from Telegram arrive in Live Chat and I can reply from Manychat, but my Telegram Welcome Message never triggers.What I already did:– Created a Welcome Message flow and published it (no yellow dot).– Selected this flow as Telegram Welcome Message in Settings.– Enabled the Telegram channel and refreshed permissions.– Renewed the bot token and reconnected the bot.– Tested with /start and the Start button on different phones and with completely new Telegram accounts that never talked to the bot before.Result:– No automation starts, no Welcome Message is sent.– Only Live Chat works.Could someone from Manychat please check my Telegram integration and triggers on your side and tell me what is wrong with my account?`

Do you have to have a business Facebook page to connect it to Instagram and Facebook? Anyone know a work around since I don’t have a Facebook business page? My Facebook is in the professional setting. 

The Apps and websites page in the Instagram app in the Website permissions section has not been opening for me for a while.What should I do?I have tried all possible ways, including using a different IP, updating the app, etc.This page opens in my other accounts, but it only doesn't open in one account.That's why Direct Reply in Direct Automation with the help of many chats doesn't work for me.

Is that possible?

Olá, tudo bem? As mensagens da automação não estão chegando aos usuários do Instagram, além disso, os fluxos estão duplicando e enviando mensagens aleatórias para as pessoas, sem que aquela automação esteja inserida no fluxo. É um comportamento que vem se repetindo por dias e de modo constante, o que fazer?

Fiz o cancelamento da assinatura, desconectei tudo, porém, o manychat segue tentando debitar o valor no meu cartão de crédito. Algum lugar onde eu possa falar diretamente com eles? Me orientem, grata.

I’m unable to reconnect my Instagram Business Account (@bencorde) to ManyChat because the Meta authorization page only shows the Instagram login, not the Facebook login required for the new API.Every time I click “Update your Instagram permissions to say hi to new followers,” it sends me to Meta’s “Authorization Request” screen → I log in with Instagram → and get this message:“You can’t log in with this Instagram account. Try using a Facebook account that you know is connected with this Instagram account.”I’ve tried everything — clearing cache, different browsers, devices, removing/re-adding ManyChat in Business Integrations, confirming admin access, and linking my Page + IG correctly.The issue persists because my account is still connected via the old Instagram OAuth API, which Meta deprecated in 2024.ManyChat chatbot confirmed the old API connection (ticke

Can someone watch this video and help me understand why I can not connect to my IG account to send DM to new followers? www.loom.com/share/11e93fb15d2349d9ba3858f4e27e9b33?from_recorder=1&focus_title=1 Thanks!

Hi!I’m getting this error when trying to access or edit our “Oi” automation for new followers on Instagram inside ManyChat.This flow is responsible for sending the initial greeting message and guiding users through our welcome path, so it's important for our team to update it.I already checked all user permissions on Meta Business Suite and followed the steps from the official help article, but nothing changed.Our admin has full access to the Instagram account and can normally edit links, settings, and other assets on Meta, but still can’t access this specific automation inside ManyChat.Could you help me understand what may be causing this issue and how to fix it?Thank you!

Hi everyone 👋My name is Jan, I’m the founder of Nocasu Travel & More — a global travel platform that connects travelers directly with local tour operators, guides, and experience providers worldwide.After traveling for many years across Southeast Asia, Africa, and parts of South America, I started building Nocasu to make travel more transparent, direct, and personal — without big middlemen and with better experiences for travelers.I recently started exploring ManyChat to: automate customer conversations create simple DM flows for events, destinations and travel offers connect Facebook & Instagram messaging with my website and Linktree experiment with keyword automation (e.g. “Festival”, “Dubai”, “Japan” etc.) I strongly believe communities like this are essential if you want to build, learn and grow together instead of

Example attached.I want people to pick an option from the list so the automation doesnt die.I can do this successfully by looping them back to the question using data collection or conditions with tags when they give an invalid response using the “next step” feature. However the “next step” runs in the background even after i get a valid response and will still loop them back to the question.How can i disable the next step if i get my response? 

I recently saw a video of someone who mentioned Manychat was available for TikTok in the USA (they are based in the USA). When I try to connect, I get either a “something went wrong” message (on the iOS app) or the “not available in your country” message on the desktop. Is it only available to a select few? :) How can I be on that list?
