I subscribed to the pro subscription (95$) however, I am not able to start a new automation.When I try to initiate a new automation: 1- I received a message that this request is only for pro subscribers. 2- Or if opened Manychat from my laptop, it doesn’t process my request neither post it. Nothing happen when I click the button.  I only want Instagram automation and this why I pay for the subscription. Can anyone help me with this please ?  Is my subscription enough ? As it is named Pro. If not can I have a refund ? And if yes what should I do to make automations again ?

We’re setting up a competition and hope Manychat can help with it - the mechanism is to tag in comments friends / family who might be interested in a business startup related competition. Ideally then, the person tagged on the post would receive a message to get more info.I can’t see this as an automation, and I’m assuming it’s because that particular person hasn’t actually interacted with the post/reel/whatever (so why would they want a DM from us?).If I’m right in that assumption, I guess we’ll have to go with a more catch-all “comment this word to get more info” automation and the person will have to pass on that info to their friend etc who they think might want to know about it, or they can tag their friend who can comment the word if they want to enter.After typing all this out I think I figured it out, but I’m going to post anyway to see what you all say 🤣

Hey guys,I saw the "BotTools Toolbox" in the Manychat app store, which offers some extra tools for chatting.The one I was most interested in was "Split Field", I tested it and it worked.My question is: does anyone use this tool? Is it reliable? Does it work well or are there problems with external calls?If anyone can tell me about this app, it would be a great help.Thanks.

Hi everyone, I could really use your help.I’m running into a frustrating issue with my automation in ManyChat. Sometimes the button I’ve added to a message shows up and works perfectly — and other times, only the message is sent without the button. When that happens, the flow gets stuck and users can’t continue.I haven’t changed anything in the setup between times when it works and times when it doesn’t, so I have no idea what’s causing this inconsistency.This is really hurting my CTR, and I’ve been getting messages from users saying they didn’t receive the guide I promised them.Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea what might be going wrong or how I can fix it?This happening in Instagram Thanks so much in advance 🙏

I have realised people in Africa use social media and few are aware of this amazing tool .I come offering a hand to see if we can work together to boost this because it's the best tool to save many and to help people earn while they are doing many other jobs or activities.i'm open to anything that comes on table. 

I am developing a SaaS platform aimed at enabling businesses to automate direct messaging across multiple channels, specifically Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The core functionality involves allowing our clients to connect their respective social media pages, after which our platform would handle automated messaging workflows on their behalf.Given ManyChat's robust capabilities in multi-channel messaging automation, I am interested in understanding how we might leverage your platform to support this multi-tenant architecture. Specifically, I would like to know: Multi-Client Support: Does ManyChat support a setup where a single account can manage multiple client integrations, each with their own messaging channels? API Access: Are there APIs available that would allow our platform to programmatically manage client connections, message sending, and automation workflows? W

Subject: Duplicate Payment on April 18 - Request for RefundHello ManyChat Support Team,I hope you're doing well.I'm writing to ask about two charges that occurred on April 18, 2024.Here are the two payment records I found: April 18: $19.24 April 18: $18.72 It seems that I was charged twice for the same 2,500 contacts plan upgrade.I didn't intend to purchase the same upgrade twice, and I believe this may have happened by mistake due to switching plans or refreshing the upgrade manually.Could you please review my account and process a refund for the duplicate charge?Thank you so much for your help and support!Best regards,

Issue:I am unable to connect my Instagram account to ManyChat no matter what I try, and I keep getting the message "Request Sent". All the settings are correct. I was previously connected through the ManyChat app, but after Log Out, I can no longer reconnect.I followed the instructions in Facebook Business Suite, and everything is set up properly. However, every time I try to connect, the "Request Sent" error appears and the connection still doesn't work.Please guide me on what I need to do to resolve this issue

Hello Everyone:I’d like to automate comments on OTHER people’s posts. Meaning show support when Instagram users use certain hashtags. Is it possible to automate a hashtag search that will comment on my behalf on other peoples’ content?

Hello) I have a problem with adding the Telegram Menu to the message, I cannot add a message to the button, tell me how to do it? 

2 problems my automation is not adding the tag to contacts (I suspect because of the 2nd issue) I cannot manually add tags to the contacts - they are not active:  

We’re scaling our Click-to-Messenger campaigns on Facebook and need to build a unified performance report that joins two data sets:Facebook Ads spend - keyed by ad_id, adset_id, campaign_id (we’re going to collect those via the Page webhook (with messaging_referrals): for each referral we can get sender.id = PSID and referral.ad_id, etc.).Contacts inside ManyChat - phone number and custom fields, accessible only via contact_id using the public API.Problem:ManyChat’s API doesn’t accept a PSID (sender.id) as subscriber_id; both getInfo and setCustomFieldByName require the internal contact_id. The API also never returns the PSID when querying a contact. Manual Bulk Export PSIDs works, but we need a fully automated (or at least daily) way to join spend ↔ leads reliably.Questions to the community:Is there any documented or undocumented

Good day! I filled out the script correctly. It is saved. But when sending me a code word in Instagram messages, nothing starts. I double-checked everything, but alas

Hi everyone, I’m running into an issue with my ManyChat bot where the onboarding flow isn’t triggering when someone first messages my page.Here’s what’s happening: The onboarding flow is set up correctly, but it’s not being triggered when a new user sends a message to my Facebook page. I’ve tested this on different devices and with multiple accounts, but the onboarding flow simply does not activate. Instead, I’m getting a generic message or some unexpected reply that shouldn’t be showing up. What I’ve already tried: Checked the trigger keywords to ensure they are correctly set up. Reviewed the flow settings to confirm that the onboarding flow is the first message after the user interacts. Ensured ManyChat is set as the primary receiver in the Facebook app.

I am unable to sing my mobile app profile with my website profile to enable me go for pro subscription. Please help 

Hi everyone,I’ve been dealing with a strange issue for the past few months – people are unable to message my page at all (no message button), and when someone tries to follow me, they get a warning notification like “Be careful who you follow.”I’ve checked everything I could on Facebook and Instagram settings, but nothing helps. Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea what might be causing it and how to fix it?Thanks in advance!

Over the past couple weeks responding to messages that come through twilio has stopped and thrown an error however the messages are coming through but I cannot respond. I have disconnected and reconnected and still have the same issues 

I'm having a problem with my workflow, which retrieves up to 5 messages, merges them and sends a single message to N8n.But I've noticed an error: when the user sends a short message like “Hi, how are you?”, but if the user sends a long message with line breaks, it hangs. Here's the error returned by the External Request node:Bad control character in string literal in JSON at position 454 (line 3 column 423).Do you have a solution for formatting all long texts containing line breaks so that the External request node accepts the content?

How can I solve this problem in text formatting? (view photo inside) 

hi guys ! I will be working with 2 setters for my IG account and need to use Manychats. However we are experiencing some complications. When in the Manychats - how do I find a specific chat? We have it integrated with IG and when i search for a chat by IG handle, i don’t find anything. Im looking in all possible folders. How do I go about this?Also, not all chats show up in ManyChats. For example, we had a trigger live for a reel - we got a decent amount of comments and the automation worked on all of them, however not all of them showed up in the Manychat UI..It seems to me that there could be some kind of integration error? I would be grateful for some feedback here! Thanks :) Justin  

So i am just looking for an automation process to add to my instagram account that just says “thanks for the comment and follow” or some other response. I don’t want a link to be provided or any thing. I just can’t keep up with all the comments. Thoughts on how to do this?
