General Q&A

Hello,I have created an automation which is supposed to be triggered when a tag is applied to a contact. If i go to certain contacts and apply tags to them manually then the automation doesn’t work. The same is the case with updating a custom field. Bulk updating a custom field isn’t triggering the automation for those contacts.

Hi all!I’m trying to set up a zap (done this many times in the past) and I need to name it in ManyChat in order to sync it up to the zap I’ve created but in ManyChat - I can only select a previous zap and can’t type in a new name. Is anyone else having this issue and does anyone have a solution? Thank you!

Hi! ¿Is it any way to sent a message to all my contacts in manychat?Please, help! Thanks!!

i am using my personal gmail account to log in to ManyChat and connecting to my customer’s account to connect to Instagram.That process works perfect.Then in order to let my customer answer IG chats, i created an account for my customer.No problem on that.Now, i want to start using customer’s Messenger as a chanel. When i go to add the service there is a message than that account (the one from my customer) is already in use, which is true, because my customer is already using many chat for the live chat service.So i am re-logged as my customer account, then i can’t add the Messenger account.What’s the best way to add a customer account?Isn’t possible to add an account that doesn’t belongs to me?I don’t want to ask user credentials to log in to their accounts. Thanks

Good morning,I’m experiencing a strange issue with Instagram integration in ManyChat. I have multiple accounts in ManyChat, and I’ve never encountered this problem before. However, while configuring a customer’s account, I noticed that the default reply on Instagram isn’t working.Here’s the situation:I’ve already connected the Instagram account and Messenger. I’ve built other automations that work perfectly, including: Automatically replying to Instagram comments and sending private messages as a reply to those comments. Default replies to messages on Facebook. Replying to Facebook comments and sending private messages as replies. Conversation starters on Facebook. Everything works fine except for the default reply on Instagram. When I set it up, the configuration seems correct:The trigger is set. There’s an action to send a message.However, when I test i

Thr only automation my account has. Yesterday I tested and worked and today that the pist is live, the automation isn't working.  It's a very simple one. I'm not sure what the reason is. Fi d attached some pictures.  I would love some feedback.Thank you so much! 

Hello!I would like to create an automation that will send new followers on Instagram a discount code for their first purchase. Can I create some action that will check if the number of followers has increased, or if a given account has already followed my account? I want to avoid a situation where someone will unfollow my account and follow again just for the coupon.Thank you for help!

I may be late to the game here but how do you setup ManyChat Automation for Instagram Livestream? I’m assuming while someone is on an instagram live, they can comment the trigger word, and a link/info will be sent to them. Thanks!

I have a voiceflow agent set up in manychat, but I’m having trouble getting it to trigger an API call. Any tips, or ideas?

Hello! I would like to ask if in manychat it is possible to ask for the birthday date on Instagram and then automatically send a discount code on that date? How i can do that? 

I am trying to connect a ManyChat automation to MailerLite with Zapier. I have connected the triggers in the Zap to MailerLite and the connection test indicates that Zapier is connected with both ManyChat and MailerLite. The ManyChat automation occurs with an Instagram keyword. When a user sends me the keyword via Instagram, the ManyChat prompts them to provide their email address. Once the email address is provided, the ManyChat begins sending out a series of emails. I set up the ManyChat to identify a Tag. The Zap is between ManyChat and MailerLite. Once the email is entered, the Zap triggers MailerLite to add the email to my Subscribers and to a Group that I've called Prospects. I can tell the Zap is working to accomplish an automation within MailerLite; however, I don't think the ManyChat automation series is working. When I run the test, the email gets entered as a Subscriber and added to the Group in MailerLite....but the the subscriber/group member is not receiving emails fro

My facebook account was deleted/suspended by facebook, my log in prompt to get into my manychat account was by logging in by facebook, now i can’t log in and im sitting here getting billed NO HELP FROM SUPPORT, IM SITTING HERE GETTING BILLED NO EMAILS BACK

I’m dealing with an issue related to automatic translation in ManyChat. The translation flow for customer messages works fine, but I’m unable to automatically translate the messages from the agents, which are typed in Portuguese. Problem: * When an agent types a message in Portuguese, it needs to be automatically translated to the customer’s language (e.g., English or another). * I am unable to capture the agent's message within ManyChat and send it for translation before it reaches the customer. Objective: I need help automating the process of translating agent messages. When an agent sends a message in Portuguese, it should automatically be translated into the customer’s language before being sent to them. Can you help me solve this issue or provide suggestions for integrating a translation API in ManyChat to handle this?

Hi,I'm trying to collect users' first names using a User Input block. However, when users type responses like "My name is James," the entire sentence is saved in the field instead of just the first name. I need a way to restrict or validate inputs so only the first word (e.g., "James") is saved, without spaces or additional text.Currently, ManyChat doesn't allow me to set a restriction for spaces or validate input directly. Is there a way to handle this, or can you suggest a workaround?Thanks in advance for your help!

I am about to pull my hair out! I have tried all of the suggestions on both ends and nothing is working. Comments are not triggering a response at all. When I click refresh permissions, it takes me back to the original page without options to refresh anything at all. I am about to end my account with them as I do not like wasting my money. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’m currently using ManyChat to manage my WhatsApp Business account and automate conversations. My number is fully integrated with ManyChat and functioning perfectly. However, I’m looking for a way to export detailed WhatsApp Business insights via API, such as:• Total conversations (free and paid).• Categories of conversations (Marketing, Service, Authentication, etc.).• Costs of conversations (if possible). The challenge I’m facing is that the number is already connected to ManyChat, and when I try to add the number manually to the Meta Developers App (to use the Conversations Insights API), it prompts me to reset the configuration, which would disrupt the current ManyChat setup. I want to avoid resetting the number or disconnecting it from ManyChat, as it’s critical for my business operations. Questions:1. Is there a w

The $15/month Marketing Plan includes 3 live chat seats.Is it possible to increase the number of live chat seats?For instance, my client requires at least 5 live chat seats.

Hello everyone! I’m having a hard time with two things on Manychat:Capturing the user’s data and then sending a message via WhatsApp (welcoming them to event and then inviting them to the event’s group); Integrating Hotmart, a digital platform through we sell online courses, so we can send onboarding messages via WhatsApp.I know it is possible, but it feels really difficult to trigger a WhatsApp flow. For example, I’ve used Manychat’s webhook to send the user’s info to Make, collect their data on Active Campaign, then change apply a new tag to the user and, from that new tag, trigger a WhatsApp flow, but it simply doesn’t work.I’ve also tried using Manychat’s native integrations. With ActiveCampaign, it seems to work well, but with Hotmart it’s super unstable, not to mention that we can specificy which products we’d like interact with the user about.I’m new to this world of automations, so I’d like to ask you guys ab

Every time I set up comments to DM automation, I can select, “Next post or reel”.  That option is gone and only gives me, “Specific post” or “any reel” options which aren’t helpful when my Reel hasn’t posted yet.  I’m launching a huge giveaway this morning and it’s THE WORST possible time for ManyChat to change this.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  Did anyone find where that trigger is now? 

Hello! I’m doing a contact clean-up, and I’ve noticed that while I can segmentate contacts based on their latest interactions on specific platforms, I can’t do the same with contacts who were created via API opt-in. Is there a way around that? I was going to delete everyone who opted-in via API, but I don’t wanna delete someone who may be perhaps in contact with my support team.To be clear: these are contacts who were created on Manychat through integrations with Make and ActiveCampaign. They’re not people who activated triggers on Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp. They were added on Manychat so we could send onboarding messages and broadcast a few reminders.Thank you!

"How can I prevent multiple clicks on a button in Facebook Messenger? Users often click multiple times before the response is shown, and I want to avoid spammy behavior caused by repeated actions.

Hi everyone,Sorry to disturb you with my simple and easy issue but I can’t fix it by myself since two days and it’s getting me mad.I try to set up a default reply with whatsapp, just the first test, to reply “hello world”… and it doesn’t workMy default reply is sent on the trigger “User send a message”. The trigger is on and activated everytime. The workflow is live.In my whatsapp settings, the default reply is defined. My account status is approved, number status connected and credit line shared.On https://status.manychat.com/, I can see that there is no issue with Whatsapp API..When I send a whatasapp on the connected number linked to my account, I can see the message in the Livechat section but the default reply isn’t sent..Can you help me to figure out what’s the issue ?Thank you allRegards,Adrien
