Bot answers Instagram comments, but not messages. How to fix this?

Some Instagram automations weren’t working while others were. After some testing, I think I’ve nailed down where the problem is with this automation:

Quick response shows a 10% CTR, but the message after it has been sent 0 times. Therefore, I believe the problem lies in the bot interacting with the messaging system in general.

Other additional details of the situation:

  1. Comment trigger automations work perfectly fine, if the Bot is set to reply to a comment.
  2. Comment trigger automations will work partially if the Bot is set to reply to a comment and then send a message on its own: the reply will go through but the message won’t. (As per the image.)
  3. Message trigger automations don’t work at all, regardless of what comes after it.
  4. The Opt-In has already been set.
  5. Instagram Permissions have been refreshed.
  6. When trying out the Preview feature, it works in ManyChat but not in Instagram - after sending the three-digit number, the automation does not respond.

Would like to know if this is a known issue, and if so, is there any way to fix this? Thanks!

Hi, ​@Alexandre Kenzo!

 

This seems to be some integration problem between Manychat and Instagram… Take a look at this article and verify if everything is set up as it should: https://help.manychat.com/hc/en-us/articles/14281308423452-Instagram-automation-troubleshooting

 

If it doesn't fix the problem AND if it's not a problem losing all your contacts inside Manychat, you can try to remove your IG account from Manychat and reconnect it after, maybe, 10 minutes.

 

This will act like an account resetting, clean your IG contact base in Manychat and, once you reconnect it, work like a totally new connection.

 

AND if all this still doesn't work… Get in touch with the support team: How to get support from Manychat – Manychat Help

 

Hope this helps!
