Next post/reel option for Facebook

Hello 👋Since there’s some sort of API issue with Meta for Facebook scheduled posts, it’s impossible to select a specific post inside an automation (comments growth tool) that was scheduled via Meta Business suite.So is it possible instead at least to have an option (that is available for Instagram) to enable it for Next post/reel?That would be super helpful 🙏

All of a sudden my automation messages are not working

Hi there! For the past 4 hours I have been working on try to fixing my automations for comment reples on my instagram. Before today they have always worked with no issues. It says that the automation is published and live but when someone comments they do not get a DM or a reply to their comment. I have disconnected my instagram from Many Chat, refreshed permissions multiple times, and done everything I know to troubleshoot. Still not working. Is there a bug or what can I do to fix this problem?

Modifying arrays

Documentation say you can modify custom user fields of type “array” in UI: https://support.manychat.com/support/solutions/articles/36000267937-custom-user-fields-array-typeModifying arraysModifying data in CUFs with array type is possible via:External request mapping Application action mapping API UIBut I can not do it in UI. The field is unclickable. Any ideas? Also if I try to set value of this field in Actions, I can’t. The field is marked as unknown (see attachement).

Setting a markup to a payment amount

Hi all I’m interested in adding a small percentage markup to a total payment amount. Would this use case be possible so us, the builders get a small commission for each transaction amount of our client? So in this case there could be two paypal or stripe accounts connected.I would be happy to explore another workaround via integrations or automations. Thanks

User doesn't see my answer in his inbox

Hi Guys, I'm doing some test of Manychat. I created a simple automation. Keywords is the triger, next the answer is sending to the user, on his DM. As a user, I can't see the answer. I have only the notification that I get some message but I can’t see it. As a entrepreneur, I see the message was sent. What is the problem, how can I fix it?? Thank you in advanceRenata

Automation Analytics

On some of my automations it says the CTR is n/a or 0%. What does it mean when it says n/a? Is it that no one clicked on it or that ManyChat couldn’t collect data on it?

Contact - How do contacts work?

HelloI would like to start off by saying that we’re a job platform that offers different kinds of jobs on Instagram, and we ask our users to comment “Yes”, post which we DM them the job link that they’re looking for. We post everyday on Instagram and each job is different which means that each link is different too. My question is - Let’s say person ‘X’ comments on our video/reel, and Manychat sends them a DM, X is now a contact established with Manychat. Say the same X person comments on another video for another job link, and Manychat sends them a DM, will that be counted as 2 contacts, or just 1? Is there a limit to how many times can one person comment on different videos and get DMs? Also, I wanted to know if we automate for comments as well, if X comments, when they get a response via comments and DM, will it be considered as 1 contact or 2 contacts?There is no clarification for this. Would appreciate if I could get some form of help! Thanks.
