Hi,

Hope all is well.

 

I think it would be great if you could include the feature of having an auto-message (welcome/greeting) for new followers on Instagram. So the trigger will be when someone follows our account and action would be an automated message to say “thanks for following” for eg. 

Kindly let me know if this is possible.

Thank you,

Lavina Menda

Hey ​@lavinamenda I 100% agree that this would be great!

However it’s not allowed by Meta - most likely to avoid spamming.

So Manychat can’t implement it until Meta allows it ;)

Hi ​@Gustavo Boregio ,

 

It seems my account has done just this. I cant seem to find a way to turn it off or change the message. Can you offer insight?
