How do I get help from someone to setup Many Chat on my website?

Hello,  I’m currently trying out manychat and i’m on the free plan. I’ve built my messenger bot and when I preview the bot the variables e..g, first name which i opted to be saved in system field. It just comes out as {{first_name}}. Also, I’m building a bot for generating a quote. I’m using custom bot/user fields(number) and it’s basic calculations like “increase value by x” . Now when the bot shows the final number it shows up weird e.g. {{cuf_1093894}}.Please assist with this. Thanks in advance.

Hi,can i use your tool to automatic send a Instagram DM to new followers of my account?Also to the ones who already following me?best, Tonic

I have just created a new automation where I send a message with a button for a form. After saving the automation Manychat says it is online. When I come back to look results two of the three triggers are turned off. Manychat just keeps the Story trigger activated. The trigger for Post or Reel and the trigger for Live are automatically turned off.I´m using a PRO account and a verified Instagram account.How can I keep all the triggers on?  

Hi. I am programming an automation on Windows+Chrome, and the constant autosaving is bugging out the interface and interrupting everything, from typing, text selection and even sometimes prompting the deletion of automation steps becuase it interrupts whatever I was doing and then captures certian keystrokes equivalent to deletion commands.It will be extremely beneficial to let us set up the frequency of autosaving during automation editing. For me, anything other than constant real-time saving would be better to stop this annoyance, which is almost making the use of Manychat unbearable.My recommendation is to offer: Real-time (current), every 10s, every minute, or every 10 minutes. Perhaps you have a better idea, though.Best regards

When the system receives the webhook from meta it includes the metadata, like IGSID and CTWACLID that allows the dataset events to be attributed to the user… but how can I have access to this data through manychat? Id apreciate this information, thanks.

Can I use the chatbot built for FB messenger and Whatsapp also for SMS (Twilio)?Thanks from a new ManyChat user/morten ~ www.nicelife.no 

I’ve been using manychat off and on for a long time and it has worked wonderfully for automation. However, the last few automations I’ve created do not trigger and I cannot figure out what I’m doing wrong. I had the basic plan and triggering seemed to be no problem. I upgraded to see if that was the issue (paying $25/month), and its still not fixed.

I'm trying to link my instagram to manychat but my instagram was connected to an old facebook account that got hacked and deleted. I can no longer log into that facebook to grant manychat access to my instagram. Is there a work around for this?

Looking for a way to connect Manychat to X (twitter), similar to what you can do with a facebook page, auto reply to replies to my posts, DM, etc

Hi Guys,When I go to make a new automation, I click all posts and reels, but none of my posts or reels show up in the box. My Ig account is connected. None of my triggers are working new or old.

I accidentally removed the page from my Instagram profile and now multichat doesn't work for me, as if I didn't have it. I put it back but it still doesn't work. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

  Hello am encountering an error while attempting to send a message via the ManyChat API. Below are the details of the issue:Error Message:Failed to send message to ManyChat: for 1977780135 res: {"status":"error","message":"Validation error","details":{"messages":[{"message":"Wrong dynamic message format: Provided text is longer than 2000 symbols"}]}}Issue Description:The API response indicates that the message text exceeds the 2000-symbol limit.Any recommendations or best practices for splitting messages exceeding this limit. 

Ao pesquisar na Internet e no Fórum oficial da Comunidade Manychat, não localizei solução definitiva para o caso.Pesquisando no ChatGPT, também fui informado do bug e não localizei informação sobre solução. Meu problema é exatamente igual a este aqui que já tem 5 meses que foi relatado no forum:Botões duplicados?! | Bate-papo de muitosQuero saber se realmente há ou não solução para o caso e como devo proceder.Estas soluções paliativas de colocar vários botões apontando pro mesmo local não são nada elegantes.Alguma solução definitiva pra este caso?

Help!How do I use ManyChat to generate conversations and leads on my WordPress website?I saw that FB Messenger no longer plugs direct to the website. So there has to be a dedicated plugin. I tried using a couple of third party plugins but nothing is working. Can anyone help?This just seems like a no-brainer, but no dice. Please advise.

I'm not able to connect my Instagram to many Chat and it's sending a request to page for ownership but it's the same exact page I just changed my name, so I don't understand why it's not connecting.

Currently I’m trying to build Telegram-bot from the constructor. I do API request to one service using Action “External Request”, I get data like this: [ { "id": 1, "entities_id": 0, "is_recursive": 0, "name": "Company 1", "comment": "", "ldap_field": null, "ldap_value": null, "ldap_group_dn": null, "date_mod": "2024-01-31 16:31:44", "groups_id": 0, "completename": "Company 1", "level": 1, "ancestors_cache": "[]", "sons_cache": null, "is_requester": 1, "is_watcher": 1, "is_assign": 1, "is_task": 1, "is_notify": 1, "is_itemgroup": 1, "is_usergroup": 1, "is_manager": 1, "date_creation": "2024-01-31 16:31:44" }, {

I recently changed my Instagram name but still have the same Instagram account.  So my facebook is now under new name, Instagram and stan.store link.  I don’t want to lose my contacts so I really don’t want to remove my Instagram.  How do I change it so it will link to my new name.  Example:  I was lifechangeaffiliate and changed to the_kriskonnection.  

I have recently hanged my instagram username, and no matter how many times I update permissions in manychat, or how many times I try to disconnect and reconnect manychat in my fb back end, I cannot get things working again. Can anyone help?
