Automation not automatic i have to nudge it along

Hi I’ve just set up my first automation and (forgive me for not knowing ANY terminology - I’m old and don’t really know what I’m doing!) it isn’t replying automatically. The notification that I received a message with the keyword just sits there and i have to log in to manychat and ‘pull’ the trigger to nudge it along. I have activated it and made it ‘live’.

take the advice of new account, but a hit a road block

Hi!Taking the advice of making new account. I was at the website. I did click Instagram because that was my intentions. It did stated click on Facebook. After a few clicks and fill in the necessary blank spaces? It stated “Would you like to Create a new Facebook Page?” I am trying to have a new account and it will be connected to Instagram professionals. Also, at the top left side on the main page. I hit “New Account”. It went through the same clicks and fill in blank space. It ask the same questions. May I have the Facebook page that I currently have it connected to my Instagram professional? It seems that not having many accounts is manageable? Yes, I am just starting. Something comes up, it will be different. Can that be possible? Any response will be appreciated.

Instagram isn’t appearing anywhere

Instagram isn’t appearing anywhere on my options even though it says its connected.. All of the help pages are outdated and don’t show anything the same way that I see it when I pull up instagram or facebook.   Is there ANY kind of live support.. Pretty shocking that the help is awful with no live chat support…… Should I disconnect and reconnect all my accounts?

Automations running at the same time - free account

Hello.I did some basic automations (user comments on a post and I send a link by direct), but I can only activate 3 at the same time, when I activate others it says that the trigger is not enabled, and then I enter the automation and try to enable the trigger , it keeps asking to subscribe to the paid plan. I thought that in the free account I could have unlimited simultaneous automations...

How to remove Send Message #2?

I was not able to publish the above chat flow unless I added “Send Message #2” in there (TEXT + BUTTON).I want users to arrive, then click the Opt In Box, then goto Message #1.How can I do that?  Now the user has to click too much which in my opinion is not a great user experience.Thanks
