Number of contacts won't decrease

I had around 900ish contacts before, and I started deleting and unsubscribing in order to decrease them. It went all the way down to 504 contacts but it wouldn’t go any lower than that. I’ve unsubscribed every single contact I have but for some reason it just didn’t go below 500.This is frustrating because I want the $15 dollar plan for having below 500 contacts. After some time my contacts went back up to 688. I unsubscribed all of them again but the number didn’t decrease at all and remained at 688.What is going on? please help

PROBLEM

I have my WhatsApp number linked and verified, everything is in order, and the ManyChat application itself tells me that they cannot send the message and I should contact support, but I cannot find a direct chat and I don't know what to do. Would it be better to connect another number from scratch?

Help Needed: In-App Notification for Support Request – No Email Please!

I need your help with something important 🙏I’m building a flow where, when someone needs assistance (like opening a support ticket), I want to notify a specific person – but only inside the Manychat app, not via email. The client does not want to receive email notifications for every ticket.Is there a way to: ✅ Trigger an in-app notification (like a task or alert in Manychat) 🚫 Without sending an email?If that’s not possible right now, is it at least possible to change the email address connected to the Manychat account so those notifications go somewhere else?Really appreciate any guidance, tips, or workarounds from anyone who faced something similar! 🙌Thanks in advance 💙

Webhook>to send a whatsapp message

Hi everyone!I'm new to the platform and trying to achieve something simple.I want to send a WhatsApp template message (already approved) to users of my app who are paying customers. For example, messages like a welcome message or a notification that their booking received a new review.I've been trying to do this with ManyChat, but I'm a bit confused about the correct setup.Do I need to make sure each user is subscribed to my ManyChat account first? If so, should I check whether the user is already subscribed before sending the message?Since I already have an active system with active clients, what would be the best way to handle this?I originally thought I could trigger an automation when ManyChat receives a webhook, but I couldn’t find a way to create or listen to a webhook in ManyChat.Also, I noticed that you can’t use an external request as the first step in a flow — only after another step.Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated!Thanks 🙏

keyword in DM not triggering the automation

Why isn’t the automation firing when I message the keyword?I’m using the ‘out of the box’ automation template just to test this.When I message the keyword “video” nothing happens. I have another automation working when they comment on a post… that runs the workflow and sends the initial message - however clicking the button then doesn’t send the next message… nothing happens.Everythign is working fine with FB Messenger. It’s just the IG that’s the issue.I’ve tried disconnecting IG and starting over from scratching reconnecting the account etc. All the meta settings have manychat as the receiver - However I’m wondering about this… the Instagram receiver only gives me “manychat” as the option and not the Manychat-IG (IG App)… could that be something?

Instagram + ChatGPT "No longer available"

Hi everyone I’m trying to build an Automation with Instagram + ChatGPT (see Screenshot below)For some strange reason instead of the response, I get “No longer available” in small grey text from Instagram (see screenshot below)The stranges thing is that when I reload the page, then I actually get the AI answer but with a button “Get updates” that I have no clue where it comes from.This automation used to work, but when I recorded and reproduced it it stopped working (both the newly made one and the old one that used to work).The exact same automation still works for Facebook and WhatsApp. What I tried so far:Again removing and reconnecting Instagram to ManyChat Deleting and remaking the whole flow Deleting and remaking the ‘fields’ (variables) My thoughts:When recreating this, I also removed and recreated my Manychat connection to Instagram. Perhaps there is a permission issue? (altho I did the same with Facebook and had no issue there) Perhaps someone of you came across this and will k

Change default reply

When messenger begins chatting with Mobot, the DMode Digital chatbot, it goes directly to AI (installed as a template). I want it to first go to the “New Mobot Flow”. I am new with Manychat, and I don’t know the difference between a flow and a template. Can you please explain.

Strange extra buttons showing on Instagram – not in the flow

Hi everyone! 👋I'm running into a strange issue with my automation. In one of my flows, I added a message with just one button as a reply option. But when I test it on Instagram, two extra buttons show up — and those ones doesn’t exist in my flow at all.Here’s what I’ve already tried: Rebuilt the entire flow from scratch (no copy-pasting) Cleared the Instagram conversation and started fresh Double-checked that no other keyword, trigger, or default reply is interfering Made sure there are no other conditions, fallback paths, or user fields affecting the flow Even after all that, the mystery buttons still appears Has anyone experienced something similar? Any ideas what might be causing it?Thanks in advance for your help! 🙏

How to Maintain Conversation Context When Integrating ChatGPT with WhatsApp in ManyChat?

Hi, community! I’m integrating ChatGPT with WhatsApp using ManyChat, and I want to ensure that the bot maintains the conversation thread with each user.My goal is for ChatGPT to remember previous messages within the same chat, so responses stay coherent and natural.🔹 How can I achieve this within ManyChat?🔹 Do I need an external storage system for chat memory, or is there a native way to do it?🔹 What strategies do you recommend to make the user experience smoother and more natural?I’d appreciate any suggestions or experiences you can share.

Conversation starters vs Menus (Default & Dynamic) vs Get Started

Nowhere can I find an explanation regarding the differences among these 3. (I am very new to ManyChat and using Messenger, so please be kind. 🙂)To me they all seem like variations of FAQs. But it’s not clear to me when you use one vs. the other, nor where, nor when. nor how often.A diagram or table showing the differences, if one exists, would be enlightening. I’ve searched within the Community and Support pages. as well as with Google, but I’m not getting any help.Thanks so much!

Urgent Help Needed: Subscription Payment Issue

Hi everyone, I really need help with my Manychat Pro subscription. I’m a tech influencer with 792K+ followers on Instagram, and my March bill was $42.The problem is — my card's auto-pay limit was set to $39, so the payment got declined. I quickly updated my card limit, but now I’m stuck. Whenever I try to renew the subscription, it only tries to charge me $15 (as if I’m a new Pro user), and then it shows an error: "Something went wrong."I can’t find a way to pay the original $42, and I’m not getting any response from support. The only available option is "Renew Subscription," which doesn’t fix the issue.Has anyone faced this or know how to solve it?Thanks in advance!

Instagram Integration white label

Hello,My goal:I want to listen to Instagram comments and automatically reply to users via Direct Message (DM).The problem:According to Facebook's official documentation, an Instagram Business account must be linked to a Facebook Page to subscribe to the Instagram Webhook.However, most of our users do not have a Facebook Page, and I don't want to force them to create one. They only have an Instagram Business account.My questions:Since ManyChat is a Meta partner, you likely have access to private APIs that allow users to authenticate via Instagram Login without needing a Facebook Page.Do you offer a white-label Instagram integration? Is it possible to use your APIs to create automations for our authenticated users?Best regards,

Triggering an Action After Closing a Live Chat Ticket

Hi everyone, 😎I'm seeking assistance regarding a scenario with my Manychat bot's Live Chat feature. Here’s the process I'm working with: A user requests human support through the bot. Human support responds via Live Chat. After resolving the user's issue, human support closes the ticket. The ticket status is updated to "Closed." My question is:Is there a built-in trigger or event in Manychat that activates once a Live Chat ticket is closed by support? If not, are there recommended workarounds to detect this event so that I can execute subsequent automation actions?Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!
