Hello to the whole community!I've had a big problem the last few days and I don't understand why. Maybe there's a problem with optin and adding contact but I don't know how to fix it.None of my flows are working (everything was working fine before).However, when I test with another account (my personal account), it totally works, in the editor via the test mode too...When testing with other people, either no flow is triggered (neither in comments, nor in replies to a story, nor in direct DM), or the first message is triggered (with the button), but the rest is not triggered.Each interaction is supposed to trigger the Optin, add the contact when they press the first button, and we're supposed to see the conversation in livechat?-I've checked all the settings (FB, IG, manychat) and refreshed all the permissions-Triggers are enabled-Keywords are correctly configured-Test mode works fineI really don't understand, I ne

I created automation for my business. I'm using audios, images, texts. However, my automation is no longer loading the audios. Could anyone help me with this? Thank you very much in advance.

Hi, I would like to know if there is a function to avoid sending the automated message multiple times to the same user. Often some of my users respond to the conversation and get the automated message again and again. Is it possible to make it so that if it is sent once to the user, then to the user it is not sent again?

Hello Manychat CommunityI have added automation if user send me the message containing keywords then automatically the message should be sent. But it is not working

I had this flow that get people info to be contacted later via email or a phone call, it started with a comment in a post then it takes you to the DM and ask you to tap in a button to start all the process. it worked well but I noticed that in some point the button stop working, when I preview it doesn't seems to have an issue but when a coworker tried to do all the process and tapped the button it start refreshing the tab, I'd try to do it with several coworkers and it happened every time.PD: I don’t need the button, but a don't know how to jump directly to the next step or if I there is some way to just put some text and then the next step.I’ll index the reel link and a screenshot of the flow. https://www.instagram.com/p/DBMoi3wu-L5/

Hello! If my template is installed by other users and I update the template, will the update automatically take place for the users as well? Or do they have to uninstall and reinstall to get the latest version of my template?

Dear ManyChat Support,I hope you're doing well.I have a question regarding our current plan. We are currently on the Marketing Automation plan, which includes 20,000 contacts, and we have used 15,435 contacts so far. The details of our plan are:Plan: Marketing Automation20,000 contacts included15435/20000 contacts usedCost: $125/monthStatus: ActiveWe are considering deleting some contacts from our database. If we reduce the number of contacts, would it be possible to switch to a lower-tier plan that better matches our new contact count?Looking forward to your response and any guidance you can provide.Thank you!Best regards,Cristina

I would like to add a ManyChat tag to specific users from an Active Campaign webhook. I’d like to tag someone who’s purchased something via ThriveCart, and thinking I need to utilize AC but wondering if I can do it via Zap using a ThriveCart → ManyChat automation?

Hey everyone, I could really use some help! 🙏I’ve been experiencing an issue with my ManyChat account where my Instagram messages aren’t syncing, and it's been over a week now. I’ve tried using the "Reset Permission" option and reconnected my account, but it didn’t solve the problem. 😞I reached out to ManyChat support 3 days ago, but I still haven’t received a reply. Has anyone else faced this issue before, or does anyone have any advice on how to resolve it faster? Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance for your help! 😊

Hi,I would like to provide my chatbot with an avatar personality.Do you have any examples of how to implement this?Would this be a possible approach? Would videos perform well?Create the avatar in D-ID: Upload a high-quality photo and customize your avatar to your preferences.Generate an API key: This key will allow you to control your avatar through HTTP requests from Manychat.Configure Manychat:Create a new flow: This will be the path that the conversation with your user will follow.Use a custom code block: This block will allow you to send HTTP requests to the D-ID API.Request structure: In the request, you will include the text that you want your avatar to speak. D-ID will then generate the corresponding video and send it to you.Example of what the HTTP request might look like:POST https://api.d-id.com/v1/videosAuthorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEYContent-Type: application/json{"text": "Hi

Does anyone know how to solve the issue where the automation specifically does not work for stories? It works for comments and DMs but not stories.  

We use multiple triggers on our Instagram campaigns, but recently noticed that the “Story Reply” triggers are not working for ANY of our campaign flows. The “Post Comment” triggers are working, but at only about  90% - so leads are still slipping through the cracks and having to be contacted manually.SN: we’ve also noticed that our inbox in Manychat is not reflecting the active messages in the Instagram or Facebook apps. Maybe a privacy issue or compatibility issue?We have walked through all the steps to provided by support articles and the support chat, but nothing is resolving the issue.PLEASE HELP
