General Q&A

I want to send Videos and Audio files to a Whatsapp user using the URL of those files instead of uploading it from local storage. I am able to send Image using the URL but not Audio/Video. Is there a way I can do that using the external request block? 

Hi everyone,I'm currently working on an automation flow that integrates ManyChat, Calendly, and Zapier, but I'm encountering an issue with identifying and tagging contacts who book a call via Calendly.Here’s the flow I’m trying to achieve:A lead engages with our Facebook Messenger bot and provides their details (such as phone number, email, AC type, etc). We then forward them to Calendly to book a call with our sales team. After the lead books a call, a Zap is triggered in Zapier to create a task in Asana for the booked call. At the same time, we want to tag the ManyChat contact based on their Calendly booking, which will then trigger another Zap that sends the contact’s additional information to Asana i.e. it should update the task associated with that contact.The information we collect in ManyChat (name, email, phone, etc.) will only be forwarded to Asana once the lead has successfully booked a call. Additionally, we want the task in Asana for that particular lead to be updated with

Hi guys! I need help with this challenge.I am trying to set up an automation with condition that is a bit different from the regular pattern and I do not know how to navigate.I am putting up a post that is a trivia, but i do not want to reveal the answer on the post. What I want instead is that for any answer or comment you provide on that post, you will automatically receive a response prompting you to check your DM to see if you got the answer right.When you get to DM, my first prompt to you would be to congratulate you for trying the question and to ask you to check if your answer (which was already provided on the post) is correct.Now, where I’m stuck is that i need the condition set to be able to check and know if the answer you had provided on the post before you came to DM was correct or not, before the remaining automations comes to play.How can I set this condition, to check if your last comment on the post that brought you to the DM was the right answer for the trivia? I do n

Has anyone experienced this? I have a post where they can comment 2 different keywords and only one trigger is getting DM’d to them. Whichever key word they comment first gets sent. Even when they comment the 2nd key word on a different line it doesn’t go through. Any thoughts on how to fix this??  Thanks!

Long time user of Manychat, back when I had to wait to get an account (I think this was in 2017?)Anyway, I’m back to using it again and I’m running into a lot of issues. For example, it won't let me reconnect my instagram account @WhisselRealty because it said it was connected elsewhere, but I checked everywhere and I don't have another account.  Also, it says I need to update billing because I have too many contacts, but I deleted all of my contacts but it still says I have 1452/1000  What is the best way to reach out to support directly? I think I need someone to dig into my account to help figure this out! 

 Hello everyone,My account has over 200 posts and Manychat keeps telling me “You don't have an available publication” Why not? Manychat is also displayed in the Instagram account, meaning the connection is set up and available.Thank you in advance.  

Hey community, I am new to the platform and trying a way to get meaningful insights. How can I set up triggers to track purchases made through a flow? Thank you!

O que devo fazer exatamente neste caso para ativar a automação?  

Hi there,I’m trying to determine what shifted to where a specific comment triggering a custom DM to be sent has shifted to requiring an ‘Opening DM’ where the commenter has to click yes to get the custom message. I never had this issue in the past (typically someone comments the specified word and they get my custom DM with a link). Any thoughts on how I can set up the automation to skip the Opening DM?thanks!

Why would the next post automation be removed as a feature? That was the most helpful feature so I had my posts set up ahead of time that way when it went live people could start commenting the keyword and the link was sent to them. I’m so confused why that feature would be removed.

Hello everyone!Its my first month on Manychat, I created a conversation flow for Instagram, where a Post or Reel comment leads to a DM automation. The conversation starts in the DM, but the flow stops in the middle and my audience does not receive a link. The automated response in the comments works thoough (Like: hey, got your message, I’ll send you a DM with the link).I have done ALL THE STEPS explained in by manychat support PLUS info tutorials shared here.refresh permission ✅business integration shows: manychat ✅manychat is shows under white listed search bar etc etc and all the other things you recommend ✅so my question to you guys is… should I create a NEW facebook account and facebook page, to connect to my instagram? because it seems something is off with the old facebook account (that i’ve had since 2007 and support has stopped replying because they probably don’t have a clue how to help me.I really want my manychat automation to work before black friday salesThanksAnike  

Hi there, I need to write a script that will send the user's data (name, email, in short the data he filled in) when he clicks on the start button, so that this data is transferred to me in manychat and that his data in manychat is updated, but unfortunately I did not find a solution on the Internet (maybe someone can suggest a solution?

Hello everyone, my business's ManyChat is currently facing a significant issue: customers can't see the "Get Updates" button, or even if they can click it, they can't proceed to the next flow. I've tried reaching out to the support team, but I haven't been able to contact anyone. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Is there a real way to reach the manychat teams. I feel like I’m just vicious circle and not reaching anywhere. also tried link https://help.manychat.com/ but can’t find a direct support team. I want delete my account as I don’t have my facebook account anymore so I can’t log in to my many chats and my instagram is sending the automation messeges. 

Hi, we have a chatbot that is supposed to start a DM based on a word trigger in Instagram DMs, but it’s not working. When we use the comment-to-DM feature, it works partially, but only for the first two sentences.When I checked the Facebook Business settings, I noticed that the primary receiver protocol for ManyChat isn’t listed there. I’ve already refreshed the connection multiple times, but it’s still not functioning properly.It’s odd that the comment-to-DM feature works partially, but the word-to-DM trigger doesn’t work at all—it doesn’t load. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

I want to upgrade my Manychat so I can use the auto-assign conversations, use whatsapp on the app, and get all the sales persons invited. I wanna know if that would cost $15 or more since it’s not clear on the pricing page.
