General Q&A

How do I get help from someone to setup Many Chat on my website?

Hello,  I’m currently trying out manychat and i’m on the free plan. I’ve built my messenger bot and when I preview the bot the variables e..g, first name which i opted to be saved in system field. It just comes out as {{first_name}}. Also, I’m building a bot for generating a quote. I’m using custom bot/user fields(number) and it’s basic calculations like “increase value by x” . Now when the bot shows the final number it shows up weird e.g. {{cuf_1093894}}.Please assist with this. Thanks in advance.

Hi,can i use your tool to automatic send a Instagram DM to new followers of my account?Also to the ones who already following me?best, Tonic

I have just created a new automation where I send a message with a button for a form. After saving the automation Manychat says it is online. When I come back to look results two of the three triggers are turned off. Manychat just keeps the Story trigger activated. The trigger for Post or Reel and the trigger for Live are automatically turned off.I´m using a PRO account and a verified Instagram account.How can I keep all the triggers on?  

Hi. I am programming an automation on Windows+Chrome, and the constant autosaving is bugging out the interface and interrupting everything, from typing, text selection and even sometimes prompting the deletion of automation steps becuase it interrupts whatever I was doing and then captures certian keystrokes equivalent to deletion commands.It will be extremely beneficial to let us set up the frequency of autosaving during automation editing. For me, anything other than constant real-time saving would be better to stop this annoyance, which is almost making the use of Manychat unbearable.My recommendation is to offer: Real-time (current), every 10s, every minute, or every 10 minutes. Perhaps you have a better idea, though.Best regards

When the system receives the webhook from meta it includes the metadata, like IGSID and CTWACLID that allows the dataset events to be attributed to the user… but how can I have access to this data through manychat? Id apreciate this information, thanks.

Can I use the chatbot built for FB messenger and Whatsapp also for SMS (Twilio)?Thanks from a new ManyChat user/morten ~ www.nicelife.no 

I’ve been using manychat off and on for a long time and it has worked wonderfully for automation. However, the last few automations I’ve created do not trigger and I cannot figure out what I’m doing wrong. I had the basic plan and triggering seemed to be no problem. I upgraded to see if that was the issue (paying $25/month), and its still not fixed.

I'm trying to link my instagram to manychat but my instagram was connected to an old facebook account that got hacked and deleted. I can no longer log into that facebook to grant manychat access to my instagram. Is there a work around for this?

Looking for a way to connect Manychat to X (twitter), similar to what you can do with a facebook page, auto reply to replies to my posts, DM, etc

Hi Guys,When I go to make a new automation, I click all posts and reels, but none of my posts or reels show up in the box. My Ig account is connected. None of my triggers are working new or old.

I accidentally removed the page from my Instagram profile and now multichat doesn't work for me, as if I didn't have it. I put it back but it still doesn't work. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Ao pesquisar na Internet e no Fórum oficial da Comunidade Manychat, não localizei solução definitiva para o caso.Pesquisando no ChatGPT, também fui informado do bug e não localizei informação sobre solução. Meu problema é exatamente igual a este aqui que já tem 5 meses que foi relatado no forum:Botões duplicados?! | Bate-papo de muitosQuero saber se realmente há ou não solução para o caso e como devo proceder.Estas soluções paliativas de colocar vários botões apontando pro mesmo local não são nada elegantes.Alguma solução definitiva pra este caso?

I'm not able to connect my Instagram to many Chat and it's sending a request to page for ownership but it's the same exact page I just changed my name, so I don't understand why it's not connecting.
