How can i check the day of the week by the date ? also can i set date field and increase it by 7 days?

Hey everyone. So currently I have a system that creates dynamic messages depending on what the user DM’s. I made a Make automation that uses the send messages node for manychat to send the messages. The problem is when I try the node for Instagram messages the messages never send even though the node says success.

Hello,  I have set up an automation for IG where they sign up for a free challenge where they are to receive a message every day.    I noticed that the initial message was sent out and that these people have “Passed” but the message does not get delivered.    I have attached a photo so that you can see.    

Hi, first time builder here.We’re using Manychat for an HR funnel and I do not want my list selection to re-engage in automation once its triggered. Otherwise, we’ll have your CRM just blow up with notifications.Example:Asking a Y/N question or single choice from many. Responder clicks on Y or any option. Sequence activated.Now if responder re-engages with lets say N, automation starts again.How can I prevent this from happening? Once action is triggered, it should require further confirmation before continuing or re-engaging.

I have an automation that checks if a user is following me or not and then sends a different message based on that condition. The problem is it sends everyone the message that’s supposed to be sent to non followers ( I know because I checked with my alt account and followed before triggering the automation)Anyone had the same issue? My CTR rate is too low because even my followers get the message “Hey follow me before getting X”

Hello guys ! I want to set up ways to retrieve data on the performance of my flows. I'm going to make several posts so that the information is easier to find for other users. For your information, I have the ManyApp full pack. Here's what I want to do:Count the number of messages sent by a user on a specific flow (Whatsapp)Here's what I have as a lead:Users arrive on the flow I want to track and I assign them a tag corresponding to the specific flow. I set up a tracking automation : based on keyword with the trigger “Users send a message”. The problem is that I don't have an option to select something like “all messages sent”. My idea is to put a : if message contains a, e, i, j etc.. for the 10 most common letter. Obviously it's not really a perfect approach. Do you have better idea ? Then a condition of tag for the specific flow And finally I have an action

Minha automação para de funcionar o tempo TODO, alguém me ajuda!

hello again, it was suggested that I share what I created and see if I am on track, I have no clue what I am doing, this is what I have set up, Too Much?   Is it Ok?  Start Over?  I can take it , just tell me.  If I am in the wrong place you can tell me that also. Thanks Camille  (PS, the link is going to be “FreeShipon NextOrder”  I am not sure how that gets implemented, but I guess I will find out. 

I am trying to clarify the user input using chatgpt but I can not find any field to store the gpt response. Does anyone know why this is? seems like a bug.   

I’m confused about “contacts” who seem to be people that I’ve chatted to in the last few weeks (even though I’ve only had a Manychat account for a week.)If people are “subscribed” can I send them a message outside of the 24 hours? If so how? (I seem to be able to send them a message on “live chat” but I don’t see how that’s better than sending them a message on IG.) Is there a “7 day cut off”? (I’ve tried to message some people and it says “the last interaction with this person was more than 7 days ago”.) In which case, what’s the point of them being a contact if I can’t contact them.Thank you!

Hi, Im building an email campaign and am having trouble using one sequence as a template to make another sequence. Sometimes when I edit one, the original also automatically edits and sometimes I don't have the option to change the “duplicates” name. What is the best why to use one sequence as a template to create another?  

Hey everyone, I'm trying to set up AI-generated replies to comments on my Instagram Reels and TikTok videos using ManyChat. I specifically want contextually relevant, natural-feeling responses—not just canned or templated replies. Could someone guide me through how to use ManyChat's native AI features to achieve this? I'm looking for clear steps to ensure each reply genuinely relates to the user's original comment.Thanks in advance!

I have manychat app on my phone linked already to my Instagram page, I want to upgrade to pro I was told I could only do that from my laptop, Now in linking to my Instagram page is difficult, can't find here the request to link is sent.  

Hello,I am pretty new and have around 3500 contacts now and it's only connected to my Instagram….but a lot of them are subscribed ‘unknown contacts’. What is the difference with known contacts? Is that spam? I am wondering also how a contact can be ‘unknown’ as the only way to get onto my Manychat contact list is through commenting on my reels or my stories.Hopefully someone can help me with shedding some light on this 🙏 Thank you so much in advance, Kate

E ai galera! Não achei na plataforma a informação de quantidade de contas de instagram que podem ser vinculas a cada formato de plano, e também não achei quantidade de automações que cada conta pode gerar no plano free e pago. Alguem sabe essa informação?

Hey guys, if Meta has 24hr rule, when or how can we use the delay if more than 24hrs? We can set the delays for days but can’t send message outside the 24hr rule.

I am very new to all this, so please be patient with me. I go live three nights a week and do a project. I have a flow built that connects to my website and a cartlink to the products featured in the live.  I use a keyword trigger to generate a message.  I have a different cartlink every night.  How do I duplicate my flow from night to night where all I have to do is change my keyword and cartlink?  I hope that makes sense.  

Hi,I would like to personalize automated replies (Hi [Instagram profile name], great to hear from you), but so far I could only insert [Instagram user name].  Can somebody tell me how to insert [Instagram profile name]? Really appreciate it. 

Hey everyone, I’ve been building an SMS-only workflow for a restaurant client in ManyChat for the past three months, and I’ve hit a wall. The workflow is for a monthly recurring lunch program, where customers only need to scan the QR code once—either in the restaurant or from the website—to join. Once they’re in, they automatically receive a new discount each month via SMS. They can opt out at any time. Each month, about five days before the end of the month, I manually update the workflow with:• The new discount for the upcoming month• New photos and fresh content to keep engagement high and prevent message fatigue I’ve also designed the workflow so that if someone joins mid-month or toward the end of the month, they are placed at the appropriate point in the sequence—ensuring they don’t receive a full month’s worth of messaging for a discount that’s expiring soon. No matter when they join, the current discount always expires

Hey everyone,I'm trying to automate two tasks in ManyChat that seem pretty straightforward, but I'm running into challenges. I’d really appreciate your help!1️⃣ Automate Follow-Up & Close ConversationWhen a conversation is opened, an agent sends a message to the customer. If the customer doesn’t respond within X minutes, send an automated follow-up message. If there’s still no response, automatically close the conversation. What’s the best way to set this up in ManyChat?2️⃣ Assign Conversations to Agents Based on Time & DayI want to automatically assign conversations to different agents based on specific timeframes. Example: Monday–Thursday, 09:00–11:00 → Assign to Agent X All other times → Assign to Agent Y

Good afternoon!Be
