Trackpad and mouse

Is it possible to revert back to the regular mouse and trackpad? The new editor thinks my Apple mouse is a trackpad.

Turn off trackpad update?

Is there any way we can turn this off? The new update is making it hard to navigate, I think it thinks my Mac mouse is a trackpad and now it’s really cumbersome to actually build anything!

Dynamic Block Date Not Displayed Correctly in Smart Delay

Hello,I'm experiencing an issue with a dynamic block that returns a valid response but isn't working as expected in the flow.I have a dynamic block that, in the test, delivers the following response:```json{"version":"v2","content":{"type":"instagram","actions":[{"action":"set_field_value","field_name":"LIVE_DATA_HORA","value":"2024-10-09T20:00:00.000Z"}],"quick_replies":[]}}```When I print this `LIVE_DATA_HORA` variable into a custom variable, it displays on Instagram as `2024-10-09T17:00:00-0300`.The issue starts here because I want to use this variable in a **Smart Delay** as a dynamic date, but the delay is not respecting the date I'm getting from the server.I would like to understand why this time difference is happening and how I can make sure the configured date and time are correctly used in the **Smart Delays**.Here is the flow for your analysis:- Shared: [link to the shared flow](https://manychat.com/flowPlayerPage?share_hash=806387719412447_c40cc58dda227fcbb2df99fa539152acfe

Why is ChatGPT 4o still not implemented in Manychat?

I’m really surprised that Manychat hasn’t implemented GPT-4 yet, especially when many other chatbot platforms are already taking advantage of its advanced capabilities. GPT-4 offers far better accuracy and natural language understanding compared to older models, which could significantly improve the user experience and help Manychat stay competitive.Why is this still not available? It feels like we’re falling behind in terms of AI capabilities. I’d like to know if there’s a specific reason for the delay or if there’s any plan to integrate GPT-4 soon. Many of us are ready for more advanced chatbot options, and it's frustrating not to have them here.

I want a condition to stop or trigger automation

I don't want the automation to be triggered when I write to the customer or if the customer sends several messages.Because with each message from the customer, the chatbot will launch the automation.

How to Stop Automation After Customer Replies?

Hi everyone,I'm looking for a way to stop the automation after a customer replies to our bot. For example, if someone texts us and the bot sends an automatic reply, I want the bot to stop sending automatic replies if the customer texts again.Is there a way to achieve this?

Maximum number of automations

Are there a maximum number of automations that can be set up?I want to link each individual instagram post to a different DM (that has a different URL). It will be around 200 posts a month - so 200 extra automation workflows a month.

Automation randomly triggering

Hi there, I have a few automations set up with Keyword triggers - very simple email capturing flows. One of them seems to be going off randomly mid-conversation in my DM’s/Story replies. For example I reached out to someone to ask her a question in my DMS and it set off - she didn’t opt in or reach out to me. My keywords are short - PSA, MA & WL. The automation that is randomly sending is set up exactly like the other 2 and they are not randomly triggering. I am wondering if they keywords are to short? Maybe they are being triggered within words. My IG is @Docwishloff

why is this random Photo and name showing when we send a ref url in IG??

Hey guys why might this image be showing on computer view when we send a ref url on IG?

Good afternoon, I would like to ask if your platform has the possibility to connect not 1 Instagram account for customization of AI assistant, but many? If I want to set up 10-20-30 chat bots for different instagram pages through my 1 account in your service, is it possible?

Issues with non followers receiving automated DM

A non follower commented a keyword to receive a message with two buttons. On my end the message shows sent but on their end they just received an empty message because they first had to accept receiving a message from my account since they do not follow me. So essentially the automated message doesn’t reach them after they accept my message request. Is there anyway to fix this?

Google Sheet integration issues

Instead of updating the row the Google Sheets integration is adding a new row. How can I fix this?

IG account connected to another manychat account but cant access it - how can I fix this?

What if someone send a message while AI is "thinking"

Hello everyone! I have a simple AI chatbot, but theres a issue: I save a CUF with the user question, then atm that the user send his question, I immediately send it to make.com with my assistant and everything else. But what if the user send other question while the AI in make is generating the answer? I dont want to just ignore it, but i cant think in some logic to solve my problem. Can someone help me?

AI response delay

Hello everyone, how's it going? I’m facing some issues with my Manychat flow. I’m using make.com to generate responses with Artificial Intelligence. The responses are being generated normally and are sent to Manychat via make.com's API block “Set a Custom Field”.The problem is the following: the response reaches Manychat in about 5-10 seconds through this CUF, but after arriving, the message is not immediately sent to the user. Actually, the timing is variable. Sometimes, as soon as the CUF is updated, the response is sent right away, but other times it takes over 2 minutes for the response (WHICH HAS ALREADY REACHED MANYCHAT) to actually be sent to the user.I’m using Instagram.(ps: theres no smart delay or anything)

Automation not stopping

I’ve deactivated my manychat account, but the automation is still running on my instagram account. (I did delete/deactivate all automations before I deactivated my account). How do I stop the automation? The automation is an automated message that is sent when someone sends me a message.

Instagram Inbox Restricted - Can I still use Manychat?

Hi, my client’s IG account has been restricted to send messages for 3 days due to “harassment & bullying” which we can not discover a valid reason for. Does this mean that using Manychat to manage our inbox conversations will harm us even further, or, are we able to use Manychat in the meantime?Typically, we would have someone active on the IG app to handle personalised comments and poll responses. And someone at an alternate time on Manychat just to handle inbox.

Como usar o meu numero antigo do WhatsApp business no manychat

olá, tenho meu numero do WhatsApp business por onde falo e respondo minhas clientes, para automatizar minhas conversas me cadastrei no manychat e tive que comprar outro numero de telefone, o qual é diferente do que eu uso para responder minhas clientes, logo este numero novo não aparece para elas, ou seja minhas clientes não me contatam por ele e sim pelo numero antigo o qual já estavam habituadas a falar comigo. As automações que faço não vão para meu numero do WhatsApp bussines, ficam somente no novo numero que comprei e assim não funciona para mim, como posso resolver isso?
