General Q&A

I just sign up to Manychat via Google, and tried to connect to the Instagram account. I follow the instructions until I am stuck in the page where I pressed “send request” and not sure about the next step.In the Instagram, it shows that it is connected to Manychat, but in Manychat dashboard it said it is not connected to any channels. I checked this issue is due to the Instagram is already connected to another Manychat account, but I have no idea what it connected to because I just opened the account today.Thank you and I appreciate any sort of help! Have a nice day. 

Hi everyone,I’m facing a serious and inconsistent issue with my Facebook Messenger automation and I need help.My page is 4 years old and connected to ManyChat.Here are the problems:• On PC, the “Get Started” button works correctly.• On Android, when some users click the “Start” button, nothing happens.• Some users say the bot does not respond at all.• Some users are receiving an OLD Facebook Instant Reply message that I disabled a long time ago.• Even though Instant Reply is OFF everywhere, some users still see the old message.• Users who previously engaged and return after 24 hours do not receive any message.What I already did:• Reconnected Facebook permissions multiple times• Enabled “Take control of conversations”• Set ManyChat as Primary Receiver in Handover Protocol• Disabled all Meta Business Suite automations• Removed Facebook Instant Reply• Refreshed permissions• Republished Welcome MessageStill the issue continues.It feels like Messenger routing is inconsistent or holding old

Hello, I’m trying to sign up to use manychat with my new business (creator) Instagram account. The problem is, every time I try to open IG through the manychat website, following the sign up flow, nothing happens. I just get relocated to the main Instagram feed and that’s it. OR if I try to logout and log back into my business account from the sign up flow, Instagram continuously flags my account for trying to sign in and locks me out, making me reset my password to recover the account. I’ve tried on desktop and phone and have the same problem on both. So I basically cannot login to Instagram at all without getting flagged and sent to recover and reset password. It is a continual loop. I have not found the solution anywhere and the help center is not helpful. I’m completely lost and am no tech wiz whatsoever. Can anyone help me with this? I’m desperate for a solution at this point. Thank you! 

Im trying to run a Scenario Test from Make.com.  I’m trying everything but still getting this error.ENDPOINT YOU ARE CALLING DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE.404 path not found. Seems to be HTML issue.Looks like my request is not reaching the Manychat API.Ive regenerated the Manychat API to no avail.Does anyone know why?RgdsTrey

Please help fix this. Keep having this error "Your button must contain text." when using the Date data collection block.Seem like a bug with the Date reply type specifically. Since it works fine with other reply types but consistently fails with Date,  all button text fields are properly filled, this points to a channel-specific issue.

Hi everyone,I’m experiencing a recurring issue with Instagram Comment-to-DM automation in ManyChat.When someone comments under my post, I see the system message in Instagram that says:“You messaged {user_name} about a comment they made on your post. See Post.”However: No actual DM is sent. The user does not receive any message. The flow does not appear to trigger. There is no visible error inside ManyChat. This happens frequently, not randomly once in a while. Important details: IG account is Professional and properly connected. Permissions have been refreshed multiple times. Page is connected via Meta Business Manager. Automation is published and turned ON. The post is selected correctly inside the trigger.

Hi everyone 👋I’m running a WhatsApp automation with ManyChat + n8n. Everything works fine when the client sends a message — it goes to n8n, automation replies, no problem.👉 But here’s the issue:When I, as the human agent, reply manually to the client in the chat from my Phone Whatsapp, ManyChat still sends the client’s last message again through the webhook to n8n. This makes the automation think the client just sent that message again. Result → Automation replies to the old message → creating a loop and confusion. What I’ve noticed: The webhook payload shows the timestamp of the client’s last message (not my agent reply). So ManyChat is basically re-sending the last subscriber input whenever I send something. Question:👉 How can I prevent ManyChat from re-triggering the webhook when the message source is me (agent) instead of the subscriber (client)? Is there a way to filter only subscriber messages in the Flow or webhook trigger? Or a setting to pause automation when an agent

My Instagram account is already connected to a ManyChat workspace that I no longer have access to. I am the owner of the Instagram account and the paid ManyChat subscription. The system shows ‘Request Sent’ but there is no request to approve. Please help me locate the workspace that owns my Instagram channel and restore my access or merge the workspaces. It says “my name/account is already connected to my name/acct.Switch Instagram to continue with another account or request access from the owner of Holly Ambrozi.” It’s a loop I can’t get out of and I have not found a way for Manychat to provide any type of assistance other that creating a post on this forum.

Hi Manychat team,My IG comment automation stop working. I tried reconnecting and refreshing and I am losing followers at this point. Could you assist me in getting the comment automation back up ASAP? This is causing horrible stress. Thanks. 

Hey team - I’m new to manychat. I only want to use it for automations (sending a new follower a message). I’m not interested in the inbox features. I thought my profile limit would be linked to the number of hits I get on the automation but it seems it’s all messages into IG, even bots. Am I missing something? Is there a way to only pay for profiles when the automation fires? Thanks

When you create a phone number box on instagram automation by default is set to create a +1 code (US) does anyone knows how to change that? or how can i manually change the phone number of contacts

Hey manychat team.I bought Manychat so i can specifically run followers ads and DM people who follow me.I’m currently spending a lot of money on with advertising meta and was wondering if anyone can help. It’s saying it’s in beta for me and not available.Is someone able to give my account access please.Thanks,Carrie P.s. I’ve attached a screenshot below  

I feel that the button makes the first message looking like a bot sent message. So I preferably would like to send the very first message to a new follower without the button. However Manychat apparently forces me to set the first message block to “send as private reply” and that means that I can’t add any further blocks after that first text message and I can’t connect them to the first. Is there any way I could ask in a first follow to  DM message “how are you” (needs to be set to private message) and then when the user replies to add a second message “glad to hear”)? Any help would be so appreciated! 

Can someone help me please. I noticed that my automation stopped working since i upgraded to pro. My keywords are not triggering any response so im back to manually responding to comments. I haverefreshed permissions and reconnected as well still no luck

All the previous ones do, however I am not able to create any new that is working.

Any ideas what is the problem here?

Hi all,  When I ‘m testing an Automation with a Messenger List in Android, the Messenger List does not show; instead only the text above it shows. When I ‘m testing the same Automation on a desktop (Windows) everything works as expected and both the Messenger List and the text above it show. In the image below, when tested on Android, only the “Welcome to our list” shows when I test the Automation and the Messenger List disappears. Has anyone experienced a similar issue?  Thanks 

Problem description:I connected my WhatsApp Business account to ManyChat.After disconnecting the account from ManyChat, I can no longer use WhatsApp: I cannot access either the Business or the standard version.
