Ref link url opens in browser

Hi. I want to place buttons on my webpage that will open directly in Messenger. So a click on a button forces opening Messenger app on a phone.Years ago it worked very well. Now all I’m getting is another window that show that I have to log in to facebook or download it. Is there any way to force the button click action to open the Messenger app straight away? Thanks

AI Step or OpenAI integration ? (+help needed)

Hello, I just noticed there is “AI step” option in the automation now… it cost pretty much more than just the automation so i would like to know if anyone tried ? is it GPT-4 level of answers ? does the chat bot remember the answers of lead within a chat to continue the conversation properly ? is it really much better than openAI integration which is way cheaper for me currently.. and last question this one about OpenAI integration : Can anyone help me with setting up an AI chatbot for IG ? i already set it up actually, answers are ok but the way i did the bot has no memory at all about what has been said in the chat so he repeat the same thing many times it look stupid :P i’m learning fast just need some guidance how to do..

Can your Instagram Get Shut Down if your Automation is high traffic?

I have a contact/influencer colleague with a large (1M+)+ Instagram following who is concerned about using story reply or DM automation on a large scale.She was told from another influencer with a similar audience size that a large volume of Many Chat automations on a similar account shut down their Instagram completely.Has anyone had any experience with this?  Had their IG shut down for a high volume of automations used?It seems unlikely to me as long as the automation itself is compliant with policies and well built.TIA!

Instagram warning to shut my account down

I received a warning from Instagram “We suspect automated behavior on your account” I am instructed to disable automation tools or risk having my account permanently disabled. I just started using Many Chat and with my second trigger post I received this message. Is Many Chat not allowed on Instagram? What do I do to ensure my Instagram account is safe?

Facebook Comment Keywords Not Strict Enough

Hi, I’m creating a flow for facebook comments that has Call To Actions for viewer to type things like one, two, three in the comments to trigger certain flows. I am having a parsing issue where if the viewers comment things like “alone”, “someone”, “money”, and other words that have my keyword as subsets, it also triggers. Examples:al[one], some[one], m[one]y. I have it set as “comment includes one of these keywords” on Manychat and i’m not sure how to make it more strict. I also want to utilize numbers like 1,2,3 as my keywords but any number like 451 would trigger the “1” flow. Any solutions?

Live chat not available on free plan

I have just signed up with the free plan to test manychat. I sent a message to the linked whatsapp number. I can see the message in the live chat tab (area) but I cannot reply. It keeps giving me an error message to activate pro as marketing pro subscription is required to perform this automation. If I cannot live chat in free, what can I do?

How to keep the 24h WhatsApp window open until Monday?

Hi everyone! I have an automation for a tech repair store that works well during business hours, but the company closes at 1 PM on Saturday and reopens on Monday. During the closing period, the customer receives an automatic interaction with an AI, but after finishing that interaction, the 24h window gets closed.I’m wondering if anyone has implemented a strategy to keep the conversation window open until Monday morning, without needing to use a message template. Any tips or automations that could be set up to ensure the customer interacts on Sunday, for example, to extend this window?Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

Connecting Issue

Dear All,I am facing an issue with connecting my ManyChat account to Instagram. The error message states that my Instagram account is already connected to another ManyChat account. Upon checking, it appears that my Instagram is linked to a ManyChat account using an email address, but I am no longer able to log in using that email. Currently, I am logging in via Facebook.I would appreciate your prompt assistance in resolving this matter. Thank you for your attention.Best regards,

Does anyone know how to do this?

I am trying to make it so when someone opts in for 1 free thing. I can then send them a following message the next day or whenever it may be. I know you can do it through the automation process, however I need it to be on a condition scenario. So if something happens throughout the day that  I cant set it to before I run the automation, I cant know if I am going to need to send the follow up message.For example, I give out free sports betting picks. Someone opts in for 1 free pick, and then if the free pick hits… at the moment I have to manually go back through and send the same copy and paste message to all of the people.If the free pick misses however, I need to send a follow up message still, but it needs to be something different than obviously if the bet won. Does anyone know how to do this?

Can't log into manychat

Hi everyone!I would really appreciate some help here as the support team have still not gotten back to me and I'm pretty reliant on automations on my Insta Account. I have not been able to access my account since I logged off about 2 weeks ago. All I get when I try to log in through my insta (see screenshot below) is that the Request has been sent to my page. Yet this FB page I am on is the one that I used to sign up to my account. I have no idea where the "Request" might have been sent. I was also billed for my subscription so I am on PRO but I can't even access it and I have no idea what to do next. If you have experienced this or know how to resolve this, you'd be a hero!Thanks a lot,Alana

Not all post and reels are available

Hi, I’m creating an automation to send DM and replies to comments on Instagram. I applied the trigger for all posts or reels. However, it seems that the comments on some of the reels are not triggering the automation. When I checked, the ones that did not trigger the automation were also not listed on the specific post or reel list. How can I make it available for all posts and reels?Here are the available posts on Manychat trigger: Here are the actual posts:

not sending automation messages for particular reel

I just bought the pro version, and now for some reason the bot is not even getting triggered for any comments on the reel. Interestingly for the reels previously posted they are still getting the messages. I haven’t yet tried posting another reel to see if the issue is just with this particular reel or not. have already tried refreshing permissions.
