The trigger is on and activated everytime. The workflow is live.In my whatsapp settings, the default reply is defined. My account status is approved, number status connected and credit line shared.On https://status.manychat.com/, I can see that there is no issue with Whatsapp API..When I send a whatasapp on the connected number linked to my account, I can see the message in the Livechat section but the default reply isn’t sent..Can you help me to figure out what’s the issue ?Thank you allRegards,Adrien

After the fb post’s comment, ManyChat opens a dialog but does not send a message.Why?

Hey, I have connected Instagram and Manychat successfully and my automation is live. The problem is that on my Instagram reel I see 6 comments but when I open the comment section there is not a single one comment, but I know that people commented keyword to send message to DM because I asked few of my friends to try my automation. They also dont see other comments except their comment. But no one is getting DM. Do you know how to solve that problem? Maybe Instagram doesn’t like Manychat? Because this is the first time that this happened with comments.

Am i able to create an automated flow that sends a DM to new followers

Hi, I am asking for help with such a situation, as you can see in the picture, if the user responds with variable text {{Type Contract}}} it is assigned an anonymous value. Is it possible that these values are also assigned with the help of buttons?  After the user clicks button Tip 1,  Tip 2, or Tip 3, assign the corresponding value to the variable {{Tip Contract}}:Button 1: Tip 1Button 2: Tip 2Button 3: Tip 3Assign the value as follows:Button 1: {{Tip Contract}} = Tip 1Button 2: {{Tip Contract}} = Tip 2Button 3: {{Tip Contract}} = Tip 3

Hi Manychat Community,I’m working on a Telegram chatbot and have a question about what exactly qualifies as an "interaction" in this context.I understand that for Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp, the 24-hour messaging rule is based on client-initiated interactions (a message sent by the client). However, with Telegram, I’ve noticed something unusual.I’ve set up an automation designed to mark a conversation as "open" whenever a client interacts with the bot. But here’s the issue: sometimes the automation is triggered even when the user hasn’t sent any message.This has left me wondering:What exactly is considered an "interaction" in Telegram? Could there be scenarios where an automation gets triggered without the client actively sending a message?If anyone has insights or has experienced something similar, I’d greatly appreciate your thoughts!Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise. 😊

Hello, everyone. Does anyone here uses Manychat?I'm actually new to Many Chat and recently started exploring its features. I have a few questions about how its automation works:1. Is ManyChat's automation free? Does the free version include all automation features, or are some limited?2. What does "number of contacts" mean? Does it refer to the number of Facebook users who have interacted with your chatbot?3. For the free plan, is the 1,000-contact limit on a monthly basis (and resets every month), or is it a lifetime cap?I'd really appreciate any insights or experiences you can share. Thank you so much in advance!

Hi there,One of my friend got his Instagram linked to a business manager which no body has access too in his team.How can we use Manychat now?Please help

Pessoal, estou usando o n8n no lugar do Make para enviar leads que se inscrevem em um formulário diretamente para o ManyChat. Porém, estou enfrentando um problema: o envio dá erro caso o usuário já exista no ManyChat. Alguém que tenha experiência com o n8n poderia me ajudar?

I have already set up a flow in Many Chat where someone drops a word, it tiggers a DM with a link.  I would like to go into the automation to send a follow up DM to everyone that received my first DM. Some of these people may or may not have clicked on the link.  I need the follow up to go to everyone.  How do I do this?  Thanks

There are two issues:1) You don’t have right filter to start a trigger for Make.com (Integromat) for any message user want to send in any language – in that case for english only i’ve found stupid workaroundIt obviously doesn’t work goodMake regular expressions (regex)2) The operation failed with an error. [400] Content can’t be sent to subscriber id='925547444' without message tag. Subscriber’s last interaction was over 6h ago (more than 24 hours ago):??? I replied several times – automation in Make with your send message module doesn’t work. 

I have been using ManyChat automation for about a year. On my Instagram page, an average of 1,000 people message me daily, and the automation replies to them. However, for the past two weeks, I’ve been experiencing an issue. My ability to send direct messages on Instagram has been banned twice in a row. The reason stated is: "Something you sent in a conversation violated our community standards."The first time I was banned, it lasted 3 days. After the ban was lifted, I could send messages again, but three days later, I was banned again, and this time it lasted 7 days. Currently, I am unable to send messages to anyone for 7 days.I have a verified account with 250k followers. Because of the verification, I was able to request a direct consultation, and during the meeting, I was advised to remove ManyChat. How is this possible? Does this mean I can no longer use ManyChat?I have been using ManyChat for about a year. I only send automatic replies to incoming messages. I haven’t even sent a

Pls guide, I am new here.

I’ve attached a photo for my broadcast and the users only received a text, also the same photo in the automation for comment tools haven’t been sent. 

Hi folks,I have a flow where I ask the user for a PDF file. I am using a User Input field that saves the URL of the uploaded file to a custom field. That works great. However, Messenger on Android doesn't offer an option to select documents from its internal storage, the only offered option is to select images. Different to the desktop versions of Messenger, which have an icon to upload documents (any type), next to the chat text field. My solution is to instruct the user about selecting the PDF file from the internal storage (not from Messenger) and Share it to Messenger / Chat. That way, the bot in Manychat can receive it and works fine.To show this message only to users on Android devices, I would need to determine if the user is chatting on an Android phone. Anyone has had this need? Any native recommendations?

I have an idea for automation, but I’m struggling to implement it. As you know, Instagram has its own subscription system with fees like $5 or $2. What I want is to identify users who subscribe to my page on Instagram (e.g., those paying $5) when they initiate the first chat.I need to detect whether the user is an Instagram subscriber. If they are, I want them to follow a specific path. If they are not a paid Instagram subscriber, I want them to follow a different path.How can I achieve this? Is there an alternative way to approach it?Finally, I want everything to work automatically. I don’t want to manually tag subscribers or assign labels.

Hi! I have a flow on Instagram where I ask for the user's email and phone number. In this flow, I also send an email. However, when this happens, ManyChat creates a new contact using the email, even though I already have a contact with that same email. This results in duplicate contacts. How can I fix this?

 I am writing to request assistance with creating a numeric user input within a ManyChat pro flow. I'm aiming to build a chatbot that relies entirely on user input for the conversation.Unfortunately, I'm encountering an issue where the user input option seems to be malfunctioning. I'm unable to create a field that allows users to enter numerical data.  I would greatly appreciate it if you could advise me on how to resolve this issue and successfully implement numeric user input within my flow.Thank you for your time and assistance.

I would really appreciate any guidance or suggestions from the community.Here’s what I’m trying to achieve:I have a Google Sheets document named 'Cadastro', specifically the 'Clientes' tab. When a new row is added in this tab, I need the following fields to be mapped to ManyChat subscriber fields: NOME → First Name SOBRENOME → Last Name EMAIL → E-Mail WHATSAPP → Phone Number and WhatsApp Number After mapping the data, I want to automatically trigger the 'Bem Vindo' flow for the new contact via WhatsApp, sending them some messages after being registered in the platformI’m really new to ManyChat and APIs/Webhooks in general, so I’m not sure where to start or what the most efficient method is for this setup.If anyone has experience with this kind of workflow or knows the best practices for achieving this, I’d
