Nope, that’s not possible.

Hello, I wonder if this will ever be possible? To be honest, this is one of the main reasons I want to use ManyChat - there are other DM automation third party services that do offer this…

Thank you

Daria

Hey @DariaFabro this feature is unavailable because Meta does not offer the possibility to do this on their official API.

Other services offering this do not use Meta's official API and are usually "hacks" that can put your account in danger of being banned.

In my experience, these solutions often offer you a lifetime deal - because they know their business may disappear when Meta decides to crack down on them!

I always suggest that my clients use only Meta's official tools to avoid putting their accounts, and their businesses, in danger.

I'm sure that if Meta ever makes this a 'legal' feature, Manychat will be the first to add it to the platform!

Hello Gustavo, thank you so much for your reply. Can you please suggest as solution via ManyChat - what would be the best course of action here?

Thank you in advance

Daria

Also, there is no “list” of actual DM automation tools supported by Meta - how do you know that ManyChat is one of them? ;)

The only 'legal' option you have is to send the first message manually. Once they reply, the become Manychat subscribers.

And you can search Meta's official partners list:
