is manychat down?

is manychat down? cannot send any messages

my Instagram messages aren’t syncing

Hey everyone, I could really use some help! 🙏I’ve been experiencing an issue with my ManyChat account where my Instagram messages aren’t syncing, and it's been over a week now. I’ve tried using the "Reset Permission" option and reconnected my account, but it didn’t solve the problem. 😞I reached out to ManyChat support 3 days ago, but I still haven’t received a reply. Has anyone else faced this issue before, or does anyone have any advice on how to resolve it faster? Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance for your help! 😊

Automation doesn't work for stories

Does anyone know how to solve the issue where the automation specifically does not work for stories? It works for comments and DMs but not stories.

Instagram Story Replies - Keywords Not Activating Trigger

We use multiple triggers on our Instagram campaigns, but recently noticed that the “Story Reply” triggers are not working for ANY of our campaign flows. The “Post Comment” triggers are working, but at only about 90% - so leads are still slipping through the cracks and having to be contacted manually.SN: we’ve also noticed that our inbox in Manychat is not reflecting the active messages in the Instagram or Facebook apps. Maybe a privacy issue or compatibility issue?We have walked through all the steps to provided by support articles and the support chat, but nothing is resolving the issue.PLEASE HELP

Custom User Fields Not Updating from External HTTP Requests

I am developing an integration between ManyChat and an API (which integrates with OpenAI's API, trained on my Google Sheets database) to create an interactive chat experience that personalizes a virtual assistant based on user inputs. The process involves capturing a prompt provided by the user, storing it in a Custom User Field in ManyChat, and using this variable in an HTTP request to the API.However, I'm experiencing an issue where ManyChat is not updating user fields from responses to external HTTP requests.When I check the log, it shows that the response is null.Steps I've taken:Verified the server and response format. Tested with simplified static responses. Confirmed correct JSONPath usage.I have attached some screenshots for your reference.I would greatly appreciate any assistance or insights to help me resolve this issue.

Question on number of contacts valid for Price per month

The website is unclear about the specifications of “Contacts” which has us hesitant in subscribing.We see the “Pricing List” but the website is unclear on what counts as a “contact” Is it the amount of messages? Is it the amount of users?If it is the amount of users, why does manychat count them as an active contact if they have not used any of our automations?Is the “Maximum of Number of Contacts” per month or does it rollover for the next month?Exp: Is month 1 = “1500 contacts” then Month 2 = “500 contacts” OR will they rollover. Month 1 = “1500” then Month 2 = “500 contacts” totaling “2,000 contacts” for month 2?If it rolls over, then why would it make sense to purchase the subscription?If a person is added as a contact but never contacts again? Why should we pay that contact if it is not active for a month?How will this affect me if I have 5 instagram accounts logged into my manychat account?Can someone clarify this for me?

how to authorize live agents to perform bulk actions like reopening or closing conversations

I would like to authorize my live agents to perform bulk actions like reopening or closing conversations, but without turning them into editors, as I do not want them to have access to automations. How can I do that?

Ads Optimization

There is a new feature in Manychat where you can connect Manychat Instagram account to Meta Conversions API. But I don’t see how to use it in Meta Ads Manager. Any guess?Should it be used with Meta Pixel in “Sales” ads? Then how to choose respective button in an automation as an conversion event?

Whatsapp - Messages are not sent with link trigger

Hello everyone,I want to integrate Whatsapp communication into ManyChat. I have already validated message templates to send messages first. However, when I use a link trigger, the message is not sent when the person clicks on the link. He has to send a message first to launch the automation. This is very strange, because if I send the same flow using the Automation function in Live Chat, the message is sent without any problem.Here's what I've already checked:Template message validate Business verification : verified Account status : approved Credit Line : shared Wallet balance : ok Do you know why it doesn't work?

Triggers to new flows

I am making a multi flow chatbot, how do i make it so a flow can be triggered by another flow? for example:If Flow 1 ends with: start Flow 2 automation In flow 2, which first step should i put so its triggered when a action is Flow 2 automation?

facebook ads messenger: greeting message / conversation starter doesnt show when user clicks

I have set the Greeting Text, and i have created a Conversation Starter which leads into an automation, however when i create a Facebook Ad, and select ‘create new’ it forces me to use their default template questions. How can I disable that, and make it so if a user clicks Send message on my facebook ad, they will see only the greeting text i set in manychat, followed by the automation which is triggered by the conversation starter? Thank you

FB messenger automation is not updating

Hi,Good day to all, I would like the help of the community and experts, I’m new to the structure of manychat,I have created my 1st automation and it’s working, but I did a major update with the flow and published it. The FB messenger isn’t using the update flow. I tried disconnecting the page and reconnecting from manychat and still, it is using the old flow. How can I resolve this issue? I’m interested in pursuing the plan because of the reviews but having this bottleneck is leading me to think otherwise. I hope someone can help me resolve the issue or point out what I’m doing wrong. Thank you.Best regardsJC

How to Withdraw Funds from Manychat Wallet

I recently funded a trial account with $70 without realizing that it was the wrong Profile - since most bear the same name for the same brand. I’ve cancelled the trial. How do I transfer the funds in the Manychat trial profile to my second Manychat profile which is a pro profile? The subscription to this pro profile will be renewing on the 17th of this month.
