Automation stops once I open and manually write on the chat

Hello! I have a question regarding one of my flows. It was working perfectly, but all of the sudden now the automation stops once I open and manually write on the chat. People can’t use the buttons anymore. How can I fix this? It was working perfectly for 6 months and now it changed from one day to another, and I didn’t change anything. Can you please or someone help me out? Seems also there is a 30 minutes automation stop, but I rather have it on 0, how can I make it possible?

Automated DM's Suddenly Not Displaying Full Text

I have been using ManyChat PRO during the 14-day trial and last week, everything regarding automations was working amazingly well, that is until Tuesday when the automated replies began to get completely chopped after the first sentence?Is there a reason why my automated replies are now being shortened to just a few words? Is there anything on my end I need to change to not have this problem happen? Thanks in advance for any help :)

Automations still not working!

I’m still having a problem with my Instagram automations.  The full message isn’t showing when a button in involved. Yes I can add a link into the main body of the text, but it takes away from the character count and then I’m limited in what I can write in the main message. Also I need to be able to offer 2 different link buttons, one to my free guide and the other to the course or digital product I’m selling.  I had a whole system going where people could choose between 2-3 options and once chosen another message was prompted, then another. Not all of us can just add one website link. Now what do we do???

Not receiving notifications for comment automation ?

Hi All, I’ve been using Manychat for a couple of months now successfully with dm’s. I’ve just tried to set up comment automation on several reels, the comments are working instantly but the users are not a receiving a notification that i’ve replied to their comment. I’ve tested this from 6 different accounts now all with the same result. If they go back to the video they can see a response, but they are not aware of my reply because Manychat is not sending a comment notification, the direct messaging is also working as normal. Can anyone explain this? The comments are not tagging the user either like a typical comment reply, just replying underneath.

Smart delay under 10 seconds

Hi community!I would like to have a smart delay of 3 seconds between two DM on Instagram, to humanize the conversation.But it still doesn’t work because it “must be between 10 and 3600 seconds”… I saw in a program to learn about Manychat that the former could insert a 3 sec delay.Anyone can relate please?Thanks a lotxx

Unsubscribe old users

Hello❤️ please tell me, if I unsubscribe old users from the bot, but later they want to interact with the bot again, do they need to immediately write the start command, and only then the code words that will start the chains?Or is it possible to solve this issue without the start command?thank you 🙏❤️

does not work today for a specific person

Hello! Why might the bot not work? does not work today for a specific person, even when I manually start a chain for him personally - further messages are inactive. Everything works for other people. This user follows me on Instagram, I also see him in chat, but the bot doesn’t work with himneither code words nor pressing bot buttons trigger the process

Customer Service Feedback

Hey guys, I don't even know if this is the right place to post it. I wanted to give feedback and show my appreciation to the customer service. I sent a ticket, I think that's how it's called, through the online form because I had huge problems with my bot. Within a day Emelly from the Manychat team answered and provided helpful tips. She answered every followup question within 24 hours and she solved all the problems with my bot. She had a lot of patience and explained everything very well so that I as a noob could understand it. I am very thankful and appreciative for Emelly's help. If that is how every customer at Manychat is treated, then I am impressed. What a great service. If not, please give Emelly a raise, or at least a bonus. She is doing great work. Have a good one y'all

I am new here and need help with business manager & Whatsapp

Hi, I have 2 FB business manager accounts. 1 of them is for my default business, and the 2nd is for a completely different business.For the 2nd business manager I started using ManyChat. In order for ManyChat to work properly I need to verify the business (in FB) and if FB will ask for documents, I won’t have anything to show.. If I write in the verification my business name, (that exists in the 1st business manager info), will that name be seen to the users who talk with me in Whatsapp? Thank you

Follow-up to unresponsive people

Hello,I manage automation to generate organic leads and want to set up a system to follow up with individuals who become unresponsive after a certain period. While I have already implemented smart delays and tags to follow up at specific points in the sequence, I would like to apply this follow-up approach more generally to anyone who stops responding at any stage of the sequence. Is this possible?

Ad Issues

I am running 6 automation sequences between IG and FB with the Ads integration pro feature. We have a great ads team and all of our ads are yielding results minus these. And when I say minus these, I mean we have been running traffic for over a week with ZERO triggers of this automation. This is way too bad for it to be creative only etc. Am I missing something here? Anyone had this issue and found a workaround?Thanks,Richard

ManyChat not recognizing Ad Leads

Has anyone been having issues with Ad Leads being added to ManyChat? I’ve been running ads with a keyword and the lead would either type the key word or click the button, and the automation would begin. But since Monday only Ad Leads aren’t being added to my manychat. They don’t get the automation, nor can I manually start the automation since they aren’t a contact in ManyChat.However when I test my automation through other accounts that don’t follow me and they type the keyword it works. So the automation works only for people that don’t come from ads (and again it was working before). Any ideas / help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Andrew

Automations working yesterday -- not working today

I created a new account yesterday, IG connected no problem. I set up my first automation yesterday, and tested it with a static post from a while back. Worked beautifully.Today I went to set up a new automation for a Reel I was about to post and I selected the “Next Post or Reel” option for the trigger. I used the same trigger words, replies and links from the last automation so I know the text/copy/flow should all be good. It didn't work – no automations are sending.I tried editing the previously successful automation from yesterday and adding a new trigger so that anyone who comments the same keywords on any post gets the reply, but it's still not working. Even the automation that was working yesterday on the static post isn't working. None of them are working.I tried refreshing the connection permissions multiple times. Still nothing.Can anyone help? I specifically tested it yesterday so that I wouldn't run into this issue today as this was a really important post for me to launch.
