How do I add images to an instagram reel reply? 

How can I give the permission to live chat agent user to add a contact?by default is not possible, but with a flow is possible? automation? 

Hi everyone! ManyChat suddenly stopped sending the automation (or flow) to leads coming from Facebook ads to the WhatsApp API I have connected. It was working perfectly for months until yesterday, when it suddenly stopped.What's even stranger is that if I trigger it from my personal phone, the same message works, but if the trigger comes from the ads, the sequence doesn't activate.I’ve seen on the platform that many people are complaining about the same issue, so it’s not an isolated case.

Does anyone know if the 10RPS (requests per second) API rate limit for SUBSCRIBER endpoints, is for a single user, or across all users using the same chatbot? Thanks!Ali

Hey everyone, I have set up a lead generation automation where people can comment a certain keyword and the automation would DM them a message. This was working fine until last week, but since then people who comment the keyword are not receiving the DM or the reply in the comments. i remade the automation jus to be sure, but found that the automation is only being triggered whenever a new account is commenting the keyword. I want my existing followers to receive the DM as well. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

I started using my WABA account last friday (March 7th), When finalizing the tests, the account was suspended. All I got in response was “This account doesn't meet our policy guidelines.” despite having all the verifications required by them, the ManyChat credit line was shared successfully and we sent two messages to our company’s employees using approved templates. I can’t find a way to actually talk to Meta Support, their emails are automatic responses, their documentation only redirects me to other documentation which hasn’t been helpful at all. I can’t even get a detailed report on the reasons for the ban. I’m running out of options. I thought about getting a new number, I’ll always run the risk of getting banned without a clear reason and no way to dispute the decision. I’m posting this to see if anyone has been through that and which actions did you take? Were you able to come up with a backup plan for when that happens? Thanks in advance!

How much text can store a custom field?

 Hey, I'm trying to trigger an action when a conversation is closed, but I'm not succeeding. Do you have any idea how this can be done? The trigger should activate when the conversation is closed.

If I create 2 automations:An automation that responds to comments on posts. One that sends direct messages to those who perform an action.Will both automations save user contacts, or will contacts only be added for those who interact via DM? Wich automations do no add contacts on my platform? 

Hi! This morning, I ran two automations on one IG post for people to 1) pre-order my book (by commenting keyword “book25”) and 2) buy tickets to my book tour (by commenting keyword “tour25”). I created these as two separate automations in the ManyChat interface. Unfortunately I encountered an error…When someone commented “book25” they received the correct message, and when someone commented “tour25” they received the correct message. HOWEVER, if someone commented “book25 AND tour25,” they only received the corresponding message for ONE of the keywords (usually the first one in the sequence). Why was this the case? Is it possible to run two automations on one post, so that people can receive BOTH responses? I am hoping to run more automations this week and don’t want to run into the same issue! Thank you!   

Hi all,  I hope you're good. Just seem to be having a bit of trouble with my automation today. I have it set up so that when someone replies to my reel with the required emoji, in this case a thumbs up, then they get sent a message with a free download.  I have refreshed permissions, but for some reason, not everybody that replies is getting the auto reply. Just wondered if anyone might be able to suggest some other things I could try?  I duplicated a previous automation which worked perfectly and just adjusted the text and the post the automation was attached to so I hoped it would work fine.  Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks! Sho 

Hi everyoneWe have been using ManyChat successfully to drive WhatsApp broadcast messages during launch campaigns.  However at the moment we are not running any launches so there is no need to keep the ManyChat account alive, until next time when we need it again.Is there a way to pause our subscription for the moment until we need it again? If and when we resume, will everything be back to normal?  What happens to the WhatsApp number that is connected to the ManyChat account?Thanks.

Our company is trying to merge all the Instagram accounts we have from different locations to have one central account. The location owners said they still want to be able to initiate DMs. Is there a way for a team member to initiate a new DM to an account that may or may not be a follower? 

How do I delete my account and link it to Instagram?

Hey everyone,I have a ManyChat flow that keeps repeating instead of moving forward. After a user starts the flow, it gets stuck in a loop and goes back to a previous step.Not sure what’s causing this—has anyone faced this issue before? Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🙏Thanks in advance!

Hi [Support Team], I'm unable to set up any automation. Whether it's sending an automated message to comments on a specific post or reel, or automating a response to a specific story, it just keeps showing an error saying, "There's no connection, please try again." I've tried multiple times—logging in and out, checking my settings, and troubleshooting in every way possible, but nothing is working. Please look into this and fix it as soon as possible. I’d really appreciate yourhelp.

Esto ocurre cuando todos los campos contienen datos y se crearon en la carpeta de campos de personalización. Intenté eliminar los campos uno por uno para identificar qué parámetro tenía el error. Al encontrarlos, entendí el error: todos son campos de texto y sus datos de personalización se encuentran en la carpeta Many Chat. Headers  All the Fields have Values  

Hi!We’re trying to keep as many doors open as possible for leads to sign up to our event and then receive a message on WhatsApp. But what I’ve noticed is that if you sign up on one platform and then on another, your account will only have opted-in for WhatsApp on the first platform. Usually, I wouldn’t mind this, but our audience is older and would sign up twice on different social media platforms.Is there a way to perhaps fix this issue?

They hacked my Facebook account, which was integrated with ManyChat. What happens now is that even though I have access to Instagram, which I unlinked from Business Suite, ManyChat indicates that it is linked to a page that I even deactivated.I only have access to the application, which is very limited, and I would like them to close my account completely so that I can use it with the new Facebook account. There is no way to recover access to that Facebook account.

Hello ManyChat Community! We've been facing several issues with ManyChat recently, particularly not receiving messages from customers. Has anyone else experienced this problem and identified any potential causes?The ManyChat team has been investigating for several days now, but they have yet to find a solution—which is becoming quite concerning.Any insights or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated!

ManyChat is triggering the WhatsApp flow, but the flow is not appearing on WhatsApp. However, I can see the flow messages in the ManyChat inbox.A popup appears on ManyChat saying, "WhatsApp was turned off."

Hello, I hope someone can help me with my question.I have multiple clients, all of whom are managed under a single business portfolio. My goal is to automate the chat functionality on their Facebook and Instagram pages using AI. I am currently in the process of adding their accounts.My question is:Do I need to pay for a separate ManyChat subscription and a separate AI automation service subscription for each client? Or is it possible to automate multiple clients' accounts with a single ManyChat subscription and a single AI automation service subscription? ​​​​​​​If the latter is possible, what is the limit on the number of clients or accounts I can automate under a single subscription?Thank you for your assistance

Hello! We’ve received 3 days block for dm from the Instagram because of broadcasting. If your service is approved by Meta, why did it happen? If it’s because of the new rules of Meta, may be there’s a list of recommendation from you which we’ve missed and which will help us not to get blocked?
