Função DM List

Pessoal, alguém me ajudaria a configurar a função DM List?Eu vi algumas (poucas) pessoas dizendo que usam no Brasil. Ao buscar conteúdo sobre como configurar, somente achei dos EUA, e pelo que vi/entendi, a funcionalidade que eles mostram não está ativa para mim. Alguém sabe algo sobre isso?

ChatGPT Integration Not Working

I've implemented automated workflows that utilize the ChatGPT feature, but I'm encountering an issue where our chatbot isn't triggering as expected. I've conducted some preliminary research within our company to identify any potential API misfires, but I've reached a point where I need additional support to investigate further.These automations have been running smoothly for the past 2-3 months, but recently, they've been consistently failing. Apart from recent updates, there haven't been any significant changes to the overall flow.I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter.

Alternative to dynamic blocks on Whatsapp channel

Hi, all. My name is Eduardo, and I’m currently a developer for a small chilean agency that offers services to real estate companies.I’m trying to fetch external data from a CRM to populate a reply . There are indications that this is doable, but I’m stuck because there is not a dynamic block available as a WhatsApp reply. Is there any way to do this via an external request? I’m already formatting the data as the documentation for the dynamic block says, so I only need to show the response on the reply. Best regards, Eduardo.

How to confirm if Instagram messages are being sent

Hi, Over the last 2 days, I have gotten comments on my posts for automation to send a DM. On the post, I can see I have comments, but when I open them, nothing appears. In my manychat, it shows 0% CTR so despite there being comments; the automation isn’t going through. Is this a manychat or Instagram issue? Thanks!

How automation agencies work with their clients? For AI agency owners and workers

I'm in the process of launching a new agency focused on AI automation, and I have a few questions for those experienced in this field. Specifically, I'm curious about account and contact number management. Should I be managing all the accounts and new contact numbers directly, or is it standard practice for the client to create their own account and then grant me access? I encountered a hurdle when I attempted to add another contact number to my account; a notification appeared stating I've reached the limit. Any advice or guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Inquiry about automatic message sending function

안녕하세요캐주얼 모바일 게임을 서비스하고 있으며, 인스타그램을 통해 참여 이벤트도 진행할 예정입니다.캐주얼한 게임이다 보니 아이들이 많이 참여할 것 같아요. 현재 인스타그램에서는 미성년자에게 DM을 보낼 수 없는 것으로 알고 있습니다. MANYCHAT의 자동 메시지 전송 기능은 미성년자에게 직접 메시지를 보내나요?

Assistance requise pour problème d'automatisation des DM sur Instagram

Hello everyone,I hope this message finds you well. I'm currently encountering an issue with DM automation for comments on Instagram.The automation process I've set up involves sending a private message to individuals who comment the word "extract," providing them with a link to download a PDF. However, despite testing it with several accounts, I've noticed that it's not functioning as expected.Initially, it worked smoothly with my primary account, where I tested it by commenting on posts made by real individuals. However, even with the same account, I'm no longer receiving any messages in my DMs when I comment with the keyword "extract." I'm uncertain if there's a limitation on sending multiple links to the same person.Furthermore, when I tested the automation with other accounts, the outcome was the same - no messages were received upon commenting with the designated keyword.I would greatly appreciate any assistance or insights you can provide on resolving this issue.Thank you for you

Date format and button size limit

Hey guys, I've been trying to set a custom field using Make <> Manychat and it worked. But the problem is, the date format is not being set in the right format, because it looks like Manychat does not accept the formatting I chose and sent from Make. I found a way to format the button variable inside Manychat! But now my problem is, the button name using the variable custom field is not being accepted, it says: "Button Title is longer than 20 symbols", when it's really not. If I format with only Day in the date, it is still giving the same error message. Anyone here can help?

Instagram “couldnt send” Error

Today is the first time I’ve ever tried to use ManyChat. I’m wanting to automatically send a message to to anyone who comments on a reel or post with a trigger word. I’m connected to fb and instagram. I’ve gotten my actual messages through here so it definitely is connected and works. I attempted to post a reel today, set the trigger words up in ManyChat, used the “add button”  link with correct and working urls. When I tried to comment from my personal account though to confirm it was working, I got an error message. Attached is a screenshot. I’m really not sure what to do here- I took the post down in the meantime. Help please!
