Inconsistent Trigger Response in Manychat

 I am experiencing an issue with the trigger feature in Manychat. After setting up triggers, I've noticed that they are functioning correctly for some users but not for others. This inconsistency is puzzling, and I'm trying to understand the possible reasons behind it.Could you please provide some insight into why the trigger feature might work for certain users and fail for others? Are there specific settings or conditions that might affect the functionality of triggers across different user accounts?Additionally, if there are any known issues or troubleshooting steps I should be aware of, I would greatly appreciate your guidance on this matter.

Smart Delay returns error message when "Update" automation button is clicked

 Updating automation produces error message:  Mark this message as a "Comment Reply" if you want to send it as a reply to a post or reel comment.  How do I automate and follow up message to go out in a specific timeframe after the first message is sent?  If the message is marked “comment reply” it disconnects the Smart Delay??? Super frustrating.  Please help“Preview” loads the automation as shown:

Quiz template and results

I’ve created a quiz through a Manychat template, using actions to increase points and conditions to match the results but it seems that the points through the quiz are not summed, in fact the results at the end of the quiz it’s always the same no matter which option has previously been picked. Is there any trick i’m missing?

Issues with Manychat, trigger not being triggered

Hello! Manychat has worked completely fine for me for the last month, until now. It isn’t working for this video: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5j_4ywNcEq/, and now I noticed that manychat automations aren’t working for ANY of my videos. It doesn’t even register as the trigger was hit.

Send whatsapp message using API,

I need to send my customers a reminder from time to time via whatsapp. It has to go at a particular time on the date that they have chosen to attend a Masterclass I am conducting. I know that I can create an whatsapp contact via API and then trigger a flow to send a message but I want to send messages multiple times as reminder. What’s the best way to go about this case? If there’s an API call that can trigger a message or a particular flow then it would be helpful. The logic of the time of calling this API can be taken care of in my CRM. Example:- A customer registers for the workshop on Monday. I have to send him a reminder at 4:00 PM on Thursday.

Create pause in Whatsapp flows

Hi 👋 I have a Whatsapp flow which asks the user a series of Yes/No questions. When using Messenger or Instagram flows, it’s easy to create natural ‘breaks’ or pauses with User Input prompts and the Multiple Choice option, but Whatsapp doesn’t have the Multiple Choice option. The issue is, that when I use a text block with buttons in Whatsapp, the flow continues to run, even if the user doesn’t provide any input so we don’t get a response to every question and the user experience is terrible. I’ve reverted to a fallback of User Input with text, asking the user to reply with Y or N, but this is also not acceptable UX. I though there may be a way to use conditions, only moving to the next step once the previous answer has a value, but I haven’t been able to make this work either. Is there any other way to ‘pause’ the automation until the user provides input using buttons in a Whatsapp flow?Thanks in advance,Wayne

Scraping messages from live chat

Hey everyone, hope you’re doing great.I was wondering whether it’s possible to scrape names, and links to their instagram from live chat on ManyChat? We’re preparing DM campaign, and we need list of every contact that our client’s had conversation with on Instagram, so he could review whether we should send message to him, or not.

Manychat sent a message I never scheduled, including Manychat prices

Hello, I  wanted  to  talk  about  a situation that happened to me last week. A user sent me a message asking about the prices of my service, and they automatically received a message with the prices from Manychat.To be more specific, the message the person received contained the prices of Manychat.I was quite  surprised because I don't have any workflow  activated that would perform this operation. Has this happened to anyone else ?  Do you know how I can solve this ? Thank  you  for  your  help

Bug on comment reply

Okay, so, suddely the comment reply + send DM tools stopped working. For some reason manychat got bugged, and now comments aren’t being replied unless the person previously follows me. Also, there’s another issue with DMs, where people can’t see the sent message.This is NOT something on my end, I tried a lot of Troubleshooting and nothing worked. On top of that I checked with another person that this is happening to her to. Wanted to know if someone else’s expeciencing thisThis is the first month Im using the paid tool and I feel very bad about paying something that doesn’t work on the simplest configuration ever

Connecting Chat GPT to Manychat

 I'm currently having trouble with my Chatbot...I've created it using Open AI, Manychat, and Make Automation. As I was testing out a flow I notice some things were off so I deleted the stuff I added and it was back to normal...Well at least I thought it was. Now I have random messages sending even after turning the trigger off and remove what was no longer needed from the flow. If there's any way someone could help me I would appreciate it 🙏🏽

ManyChat tags not transferring to MailChimp

Hello,I have been testing and testing and TESTING my first flow that collects emails through Instagram DM’s. In the flow I set up a tag in the action when they give me their email. The tag assigns them to the insta campaign I used to get them to join me in the DM’s. Anyway, the emails are transferring over into MailChimp just fine, however, the tag does not come with them.Can you suggest any ideas how to fix this? I need these ManyChat emails addresses to be properly tagged in the future so I can send them the correct automated email over in MailChimp. Thanks for your help!!
