Hi! I’ve set up my main menu automation for Instagram, however, I can’t find it. It says to click on the 3 lines (hamburger) but that doesn’t exist on IG now the upper right-hand corner has the option to audio or video call. Does anyone know where to click for the main menu options to come up? Thanks!

Hi , I have multiple Instagram pages (one personal, one content creator and one Podcast) connected to my personal Facebook account. I have connected my personal Instagram account to Manychat. Can I add additional these Instagram pages to my Manychat dashboard and manage them all through the one Manychat account?

having issues sending automations - it worked yesterday no issues so not sure what has changed

I created these automations on Instagram and would like to duplicate them to Facebook. I primarily use the ManyChat app rather than the website, but somehow these automations got locked, and I am unable to duplicate them. I am not sure how to unlock them - if you have any guidance, I’d really appreciate your help.  

Hi! just tried a couple of times templates that I bought in a course for manychat. Unfortunately I cannot add it in my manychat account, although I have a PRO account. Is there someone that can help me out? 

Hi! I’m a new user in here. I set automation on lid magnet via Comment to my post. When I test bot. 1 step trigger sent 14 messages, when I press button Follow it sent to my page, I press follow, but when come back to chat nothing happened - bot doesn't sent message with link on file. If I press button, I have already follower - nothing happen again/ Why it's not work? What is wrong in my automation? 

Facebook rejected my ad, stating: It looks like your ad contains deceptive or misleading business practices.This goes against our Advertising Standards on Unacceptable Business Practices.Did anyone else have this problem?

I am currently running ads on Instagram, and users are unable to receive my messages. I've tried various methods, but I always get this message.The message i get “This account can't receive your message because they don't allow new message requests from everyone.”

I have an Instagram comment reply set up and I have the condition “Follows your Account” set up so that if they already follow me, they get the link automatically sent to them. And if they don’t, it sends a quick reply for them to respond to & open up the chat and then sends the link. However, it’s sending that quick reply even if a user is following me. Not sure what is incorrect in my flow. Hope that made sense! 

Hi All! Looking for some help please!About 1 week ago I noticed my automations were not working at all. I tried everything I could do but nothing worked. Reached out to support and over a few days, they somewhat helped me. We removed my instagram from manychat and re-added and my old automations started working again, except the auto reply portion. They will send DM’s but they won’t auto reply. I was kind of OK with that but then I noticed issues with new automations. When I create a new automation, my newer posts will NOT populate. I can only use reels or posts from before Jan. 28. 2 days ago support stopped answering me so I’m reaching out here for any insight. I did realize that somewhere around the 28th I got verified on Instagram. Not sure if that is where the problem lies. I’ve gone through as much help stuff on here as I can and nothing seams to work. I’ve refreshed permissions at least 10 times. lol.  Thanks for any help I get. 

Pessoal, gostaria de saber qual é o valor cobrado para novos membros além dos 3 inclusos do plano pró? 

getting so frustrated with this.  My posts cross post.  and I am trying to use auto comments to send links but it only does this on instagram why??  Both accounts are link and refreshed. also why is there no customer service for this app?!   spent so long trying to find an answer. thanks in advance

Hello! I have seen that you can upload a video in ManyChat to be sent in Instagram DMs and Manychat stores it in an URL that gets send to the user. However, I want to know if it’s possible for me to send my own URL to an .mp4 file hosted online without needing to upload it to ManyChat?If so, would this happen through the Dynamic Content card or some other way? Thank you,Rocio.

Hello everyoneI have an issue with the automated follow request before sending a freebie.When prospects click the “Follow” button, it doesn’t work and keeps asking for the same task again.How can I activate this button? Thanks

I want my AI Step to kick in ONLY if someone ignores the buttons and types an answer in a specific flow  - how do I do that?? The instructions I read said to use the User Input field but I can’t get that to work for this - I think they are outdated.  I don’t need to save their answer but I want the AI to activate and help them get to the right place.  Can anyone share a visual of how this works or a video?? (this is for Facebook only)

How to prevent users from uploading attachments

Hi community, I'm new to ManyChat and I'm learning by making a simple greeting flow for my WhatsApp integration. When I test the integration, I can't get the auto-reply set up. I saw that my 'Business Verification' wasn't approved. However, I don't have a real business yet; I'm just experimenting to see if I can recommend ManyChat to my customers. How can I test this if I don't have a business verification? Is it necessary to take a test?Thank you in advance.Edson 

How do i set a note in a chat via a flow or via api?Usecase. I’ve got live agents dealing with tickets for support.You can’t search for a ticket id/number in the search that is a custom field but notes do show up.I need to be able to dynamically set those notes to make the tickets searchable.

I start a chat on WhatsApp, and ManyChat shows a notification and sounds for a new chat, but the conversation doesn't appear. 

Ive set up a very simple automation for sending a DM anytime someone comments on any of my posts with the keyword but it doesn’t work when i test on a different account or have a friend comment Its weird because the automations trigger for Instagram DM’s for the same automation/keywords and it sends when i preview and send the test code but doesn’t work when its live Ive tried everything but for some reason nothing works Heres the very basic automationhttps://app.manychat.com/flowPlayerPage?share_hash=478250_fc9dd78b9a9b750c0ba062e22c92d5dd011b6ab3

I'm connecting to the meta api. There's a step that's not covered in the help doc.I just selected my instagram account.Now it's asking if I want to set up with existing data:The first one is no good - that was a temp pixel we made when we were incorrectly banned during a promotional window (we teach personal finance, so we get flag false positives sometimes)The second one is some testing thing.The third is the pixel we use and have used for years.The fourth seems to be the event data we use currently. So, should I pick one of these? Or should I create a new set of data for conversations?

Today, we encountered an issue with processing our subscription payment due to insufficient funds on our credit card.→ After adding funds and successfully retrying the payment, we lost previous conversations, and the logs did not register any client name attempts from trying to contact us.Additionally, conversations in the live chat tab were not recorded after the service was reactivated. Upon checking the Logs tab, there was no record of the client's/subscriber's name or WhatsApp number who attempted to reach out, nor did their messages appear in the live chat tab after the service was restored. → This creates a problem since we have no way of knowing who tried to contact us during this period.  Your WhatsApp incoming message wasn’t received. In this case,

Got chatgpt linked up, I want to have a prompt where it just doesn’t reply to the user if it doesn’t know the answer to the question. I have played around with prompts without success.is it possible or do I need to come up with a prompt reply if it doesn’t know the answer to the question.if It is not possible to just not reply to the user is there an easy way if it doesn’t know the answer to the question I can move it to a new part of the flow
