General Q&A

Hi guys, I have had a lot of success using the free version so recently upgraded to paid. My flows are being triggered successfully in comments but not in DMs or Story replies. I have remade them, tested them with different accounts, watched the videos from others Qs and still it’s not working in DMs/stories. I feel like it’s a facebook setting but I have been alllll over the place checking everything but there doesn’t appear to be an issue. Any help would be great. Thanks 

Hello,I’m seeing the following message in my ManyChat account related to WhatsApp:"Your account has been restricted. Navigate to WhatsApp Manager to resolve outstanding issues."I’m not sure what caused this or how to resolve it.Could someone please explain what this message means?Who can I contact, or what specific steps should I take to remove the restriction and restore WhatsApp functionality?Any guidance or support would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!

When I’m filtering contacts by tag and subscribed on Date, I’m not seeing all the people that I tagged on that specific day. Can someone tell me what the subscribed on Date signifies exactly?Thanks 

Hey! I can’t figure out how to send a DM automation with clickable links – these are trending audio links for Instagram. When I set them up in ManyChat, they appear in blue (clickable), but in the IG message, they just show as plain text. Any idea how to fix this?

I’m starting from an existing template and need to edit fields . How do I add a question to the existing list?

I cant use my bots in FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE, any idea, how to do it.

I’m looking to hop on a 30 minute call with a manychat expert, willing to pay up to $50. Let me know if you’re open to it. Thanks

I have been using many chat for months. But today I got this notification. Is instagram not allowing stuff like manychat anymore? All i have is when people comment a word on my post I link them where to purchase the item.  

Thank you for any help. I see 500 contacts free. But what’s the pricing if we have 2,000 contacts?

I’m trying to send a broadcast and when I go to schedule or send a pop-up to subscribe to AI keeps appearing trying to get me to subscribe every time I close it down and try to send or schedule it keeps popping up. I am now unable to send any broadcasts because of this

How to send a message to the ManyChat API for WhatsApp.After 24 hours.I know it needs to be a Marketing or Utility template.But how do I send it via the API?I didn't find this in the documentation. sample text message.But I would like msg template after 24 hours.curl -X POST 'https://api.manychat.com/fb/sending/sendContent' \  -H 'Accept: application/json' \  -H 'Authorization: Bearer TOKEN' \  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \  -d '{    "subscriber_id": 111111111111,    "data": {      "version": "v2",      "content": {        "type": "whatsapp",        "messages": [          {            "type": "text",            "text": "Hello World!"          }        ]      }    }  }' 

Manychat provides 4 different methods to sign in, but once connected to any method I can’t remove or disconnect it I need to disconnect signing in via Gmail how can I do it please?

Have an automation in place to send 1 of 2 DM’s to people that comment on a post. One message includes a button with a link to an external site and works just fine. The second option is a message with quick reply options. It seems that accounts that don’t already follow us don’t receive this message. It gives them a message notification, and while on our end it looks like our message was sent, they have an empty DM.  Not sure if this is an issue with the automation, their Instagram DM limitations, or Instagram in general. Has anyone else had this issue or found a solution? 

I run a lot of giveaways and inside manychat I would like to say, you are entry 1 out of 100, 2 out of 100… etc.  something along those lines.  How would I go about doing that?  I was thinking I would have to use sheets, but cant figure out how I would pull the entry number.  Any help would be appreciated. thank you.  

When does this part get sent from an automation on instagram? I read possibly 24 hours?  ➡️Follow up to re-engage and build trust

Hello everyone, I hope you're well.I've set up automatic replies to comments on my Facebook posts, and it works well. However, after a while, I get blocked by Facebook because the comments are coming too quickly over a relatively short period of time.I haven't found a way to space out the replies by setting a waiting time between replies (which can be in blocks).I would really like a solution, please. 🙏🏾

I have refreshed my connection, Yet my now automation and main menu does not show on my instagram account.I have spent hours constructing the automations.THIS IS UNSETTLINGPlease explain this.

Hi - I’m new here.I’m trying to figure out, if a ManyChat automation can trigger in a Live Facebook Live Stream where people are commeting specific words example: “Send me link”, then the person is getting a Messenger message with the Link.Is that possible? :D 

Hi, in the ManyChat app, when it opens too many comments, the page gets reported and then we can't leave any more comments at all.Is there any option that allows it to automatically leave comments, but without overdoing it so that the page doesn’t get blocked?

Hi, I’m on a Pro plan and have a flow that correctly saves emails to the system field. Users are replying with valid emails, but I still don’t see the “Export” option under Contacts. Can you check my account permissions or confirm what’s blocking it?

Hey there,i would like to know when the whatsapp forms feature comes to manychat? :)  

We are running a pilot where we teach rural women in a hybrid manner for 8 weeks. The online aspect will be taken care by whatsapp bot since whatsapp has a great penetration in india. We would be using quiz as well and i think the default template works for us. Wondering if someone else has done similar bots that we can get ideas/tips from? Thank you:)

We would like to send videos. The default video size is unfortunately only 14MB. So we decided to send YouTube links. But all YouTube links are converted to manychat URL shortener. I have disabled URL shortener. How can we send direct YouTube links so we get a preview in WhatsApp? Thank you:)
