I could not find inbox in ManyChat app nor I could find other channel beside Whatsapp in live chat. I was able to see other channel in web version. The article wrote there is inbox for me to pick different platform (IG, Messenger, Tiktok), however I don’t see any inbox in the app. The live chat channel drop down menu only have open, close, all.
Please help. Thank you

my interface is different from yours, how do I achieve your interface with channels? I already connect to different channel but it does not show up in live chat from the app

@Terry you need to open a conversation with a person who's interacted in more than one channel and you'll see the options for that person.

so it does not work for new conversation from different channel since I have not interact with that person before? it is not automated? every chat I have now is from Whatsapp only.
whoever new person text me, I won’t be able to see via ManyChat app?

@Terry click on a person's name and you should see the conversation with that person.

If that same contact is on more than one channel, you'll see all different channel options for the user.

That's weird!

Is this happening with all contacts?

I suggest you talk to support: https://help.manychat.com/hc/en-us/articles/14281086345244-How-to-get-support-from-Manychat

I’ve noticed the same behavior in the ManyChat app. The app only shows multiple channels for a contact who has already interacted with you on more than one platform. New conversations from different channels won’t appear automatically in the app, so you’ll mainly see WhatsApp until a user interacts elsewhere. For unsupported messages like images from WhatsApp, contacting ManyChat support is the best way to resolve it.
