General Q&A

I’ve been using manychat off and on for a long time and it has worked wonderfully for automation. However, the last few automations I’ve created do not trigger and I cannot figure out what I’m doing wrong. I had the basic plan and triggering seemed to be no problem. I upgraded to see if that was the issue (paying $25/month), and its still not fixed.

I'm trying to link my instagram to manychat but my instagram was connected to an old facebook account that got hacked and deleted. I can no longer log into that facebook to grant manychat access to my instagram. Is there a work around for this?

Looking for a way to connect Manychat to X (twitter), similar to what you can do with a facebook page, auto reply to replies to my posts, DM, etc

Hi Guys,When I go to make a new automation, I click all posts and reels, but none of my posts or reels show up in the box. My Ig account is connected. None of my triggers are working new or old.

I accidentally removed the page from my Instagram profile and now multichat doesn't work for me, as if I didn't have it. I put it back but it still doesn't work. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Ao pesquisar na Internet e no Fórum oficial da Comunidade Manychat, não localizei solução definitiva para o caso.Pesquisando no ChatGPT, também fui informado do bug e não localizei informação sobre solução. Meu problema é exatamente igual a este aqui que já tem 5 meses que foi relatado no forum:Botões duplicados?! | Bate-papo de muitosQuero saber se realmente há ou não solução para o caso e como devo proceder.Estas soluções paliativas de colocar vários botões apontando pro mesmo local não são nada elegantes.Alguma solução definitiva pra este caso?

Help!How do I use ManyChat to generate conversations and leads on my WordPress website?I saw that FB Messenger no longer plugs direct to the website. So there has to be a dedicated plugin. I tried using a couple of third party plugins but nothing is working. Can anyone help?This just seems like a no-brainer, but no dice. Please advise.

unable to delete my question but please disregard.

I'm not able to connect my Instagram to many Chat and it's sending a request to page for ownership but it's the same exact page I just changed my name, so I don't understand why it's not connecting.

Currently I’m trying to build Telegram-bot from the constructor. I do API request to one service using Action “External Request”, I get data like this: [ { "id": 1, "entities_id": 0, "is_recursive": 0, "name": "Company 1", "comment": "", "ldap_field": null, "ldap_value": null, "ldap_group_dn": null, "date_mod": "2024-01-31 16:31:44", "groups_id": 0, "completename": "Company 1", "level": 1, "ancestors_cache": "[]", "sons_cache": null, "is_requester": 1, "is_watcher": 1, "is_assign": 1, "is_task": 1, "is_notify": 1, "is_itemgroup": 1, "is_usergroup": 1, "is_manager": 1, "date_creation": "2024-01-31 16:31:44" }, {

I recently changed my Instagram name but still have the same Instagram account.  So my facebook is now under new name, Instagram and stan.store link.  I don’t want to lose my contacts so I really don’t want to remove my Instagram.  How do I change it so it will link to my new name.  Example:  I was lifechangeaffiliate and changed to the_kriskonnection.  

I have recently hanged my instagram username, and no matter how many times I update permissions in manychat, or how many times I try to disconnect and reconnect manychat in my fb back end, I cannot get things working again. Can anyone help? 

Anyone else have this happen? My client got banned for a week because of the code sending issue. This is really bad, especially during XMAS!!! Anyone else have this happen?

Hi everyone!  I’ve got a problem with my automation in Manychat, I hope you could help me.When users send multiple sequential messages, the assistant only processes the first one or restarts the conversation, sending duplicate messages. Anyone knows how can I fix this error? Thank you.

Do you or do you not need a credit card for the free plan? The pricing page shows no credit card needed but the directions show that you do need one - and when I try to activate the free trial since it shows us as using 0/1000 contacts, it won’t let me without a credit card. We have one account with a paid plan and automations are fine there, but the other account with the free plan will not work account.I deleted all automations on the free plan - I had tried to set several up but was unable to make them live so they haven’t been used.Super frustrating that it’s so hard to ask manychat. 

How can I activate an automation in a free plan? My trigger doesn't utilize any advanced features; it's straightforward (comment “XXX” to receive the XXX link in a direct message). I was under the impression that the free plan supports up to 1000 users, but only a few people have interacted with my message on Instagram so far.I appreciate any assistance you can offer!

As simple as that, I have a small test scenario and all the connections working (tested with other actions).I’m trying to send a massage from make.com and I’ve tried all types of messages, non is showing up in the whatsapp chat.Is this issue connected to the credit line that haven’t been shared by ManyChat with me?

I keep seeing this little bot and a duplication of the message I just sent via manychat. When I check Messenger there is no duplication. what is it and how do I get rid of it?  

Hi guys,I am a beginner in Manychat and I have a question.Let’s say I want people to get my checklist when they comment CHECKLIST.I want people comment “CHECKLIST” ONLY. I dont want people to get my checklist when they use “checklist” in a sentence. For example, they write a comment “I like checklist” - I don’t want these people to get it. Is this possible? Any way to set up something like this?
