trigger automation on every message (even during 30-min cooldown)

Hi,I'm building a WhatsApp flow and I need to trigger a scenario in Make every time a user sends a message — even if it's during the 30-minute automation cooldown.Is there any way to bypass this cooldown? I simply want to receive a notification every time a user sends a message, regardless of whether the cooldown is active or not.Thanks for your help!

Hooked into Shopify, automating Ecom products, what do you guys think?

Heya! For those that are following the journey of building ecom funnels inside of our flows, here’s an update video for ya. Been coding like crazy and we are now officially AUTO POSTING physical products from Shopify into our flows by using a single external link request (via an Action). No Zapier, no Make, no work-arounds, no nonsense. This was quite the undertaking to make it so simple.  This is allowing the user to select the product and variants. During this time, while the user is making their selection, we’re creating a virtual cart in the background to keep tracking of what they selected which will be put together at the end and reflect within Shopify at checkout. When they’re done and paid out, we can simply send them back into another flow. It’s wild. Now that we have the basics down, upsells and downsells are next. If anyone has any feedback, please let us know!

Coexistencia en WhatsApp y Manychat: la función que estábamos esperando (¡y que por fin llegó!)

“Quiero automatizar pero no quiero perder mi WhatsApp Business.”—Todo dueño de negocio en algún momento de su vida. Buenas noticias: ¡esa excusa se acabó! Meta y Manychat lanzaron una funcionalidad poderosa y práctica . Se llama Coexistencia y permite conectar tu número de WhatsApp a Manychat sin tener que apagar ni desinstalar la app de WhatsApp Business.¿Qué significa esto?✔️ Vas a poder automatizar la atención al cliente con todo el poder de Manychat: IA, respuestas automáticas, recolección de datos...✔️ Y al mismo tiempo, vas a poder seguir usando tu app de WhatsApp Business como siempre. Sin perder contactos, sin romper nada.¿Dónde está el truco?En serio, no hay. Solo hay un par de limitaciones menores: no se pueden editar mensajes una vez enviados, se pierden algunas funciones como la localización en vivo y los mensajes de visualización única, y las listas de difusión ahora son reemplazadas por envíos masivos con plantillas (sí, pagos).Pero para un negocio que ya está funcionando

How to set up a telegram bot with manychat to pass meta ads clickid + utm parameters

Hi everyone, I'm trying to set up my telegram bot with manychat so that it takes the clickid + utm parameters from the landing page promoted on meta ads to make sure that it passes them to a second telegram bot always made with manychat and that the latter generates custom affiliate links with the parameters that I need for tracking every time a user arriving from the ads clicks on it.I need this to be able to track the conversions assigned to the clickid and to be able to optimize the campaigns since telegram does not support native tracking on the platform.Thanks in advance to anyone who will help me

Human Interaction in conversation after automated responses

Hello,I hope you're doing well.I’m encountering an issue with my current automation setup and would appreciate your assistance:Here’s the flow I have: I trigger a ManyChat automation when a user sends a message to my Facebook page. This automation sends data to Make.com, where a GPT assistant processes the conversation. After processing, I trigger a second ManyChat automation to send a reply back to the user. The problem:Even when a live human admin joins the conversation and sends a manual reply to the user (via Messenger or ManyChat Inbox), the ManyChat automation continues sending automated messages afterwards.I would like ManyChat to detect when a human admin has taken over the conversation and automatically pause or stop the bot responses, allowing only the admin to manage the conversation manually from that point.What I’ve tried: I reviewed flow settings but could not find an option to automatically pause automation when a human message is sent. I am looking for a way for M

Hi - I’m new to Many Chat and would like to tighten up the process learning from the beasts within this community.Question 1:I see Many Chat has multiple app integrations. Our goal is to use manychat to grow our email list with Drip, and there does not appear to be an email integration for Drip. So, what app would be best for this?Facebook / Instagram - Example Scenarios of what we plan to do:Collecting Name / Email, which triggers Drip for a lead magnet delivery via email Collecting multiple-choice questions to filter out agency leads and send to book a call/CRMQuestion 2: Are there any good Automation examples for better results?Or any integrations outside of Facebook / Instagram that you’re using and killing it with?I would love to learn from Many Chat veterans - thanks!
