General Q&A

Has anyone transitioned a client from Sirena/Zenvia CRM to ManyChat for WhatsApp customer service? If so, how was your experience? Would you consider ManyChat competitive in this area?

Has anyone implemented text-to-speech (TTS) tools to send voice messages to customers answering their queries on WhatsApp using ManyChat? If so, which platform do you use for TTS, and is it connected to ManyChat via External Request? Is that even possible?

Hello, if I want to receive DMs from an influencer's recommendation to my account, how do I set up that trigger from the influencer's account? Is it possible?

Hello everybody! I hope you are well.I have a question, which event does manychat release when there is an error in the flow?I'm creating an automation in make + manychat, where whenever something is wrong in my flow I receive a message on WhatsApp showing the error and the flow.But I'm having trouble finding which event manychat releases when the flow presents an error

Hello everyone,I'm currently working on a WhatsApp bot where users can select options from buttons or a list. However, I'm encountering an issue when users respond with something other than the provided options. Specifically, I'm struggling with how to handle the situation when a user inputs an unexpected response, without causing an infinite loop.Here's the scenario: I've implemented buttons or a list of options for users to choose from. But if a user responds with something different, how can I prompt them to choose one of the available options without getting stuck in a loop? When i use “next step”, it creates an infinite loop.I've considered adding a response to handle unexpected inputs, but I'm concerned that this might create an infinite loop if the user continues to input unexpected responses.Has anyone encountered a similar issue or have any suggestions on how to effectively handle this situation?

Why doesn't the people counter reset even though I pay the bill? Continuing high prices

I am adding an option for user to choose in mcq like:30 L - 40 L40 l - 50 LBut I am not able to create a custom field for that option and to fetch data in google sheet

Hello!I need to make a referral bot, how can I do this in Manychat?Are there some instructions?

I have the Pro version, is it possible to add more than one Instagram channel?If it's possible, is there a guide or video on how to do this? Thank you. 

Hi Everyone! I’m using the Paypal Integration for selling an Ebook. I have an issue that here in Austria, one of the payment methods (Sofort) is not directly charged like a Credit Card, so Paypal doesn’t send the webhook, and Manychat can’t send the product that has been bought. The product is paid, but it only takes a bit of more time before the money is transfered to the Paypal account. I would like to disable this Payment method in the smart button or let Manychat react to another webhook so that the customer directly get the product. I can’t find this solution anywhere in the dashboard or somewhere else. Does anyone has an idea how to fix this? Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi,Can we move all content automation contacts data from one many chat account to another account. If yes then how  ?

Can not find it

So I only have 1 automation on my dashboard, but whenever someone DM’s my IG, doesn’t matter what, it sends out an Auto DM telling people to send their e-mail. Now, I remember writing this flow but I have deleted it I’ve tried multiple times to click ‘refresh instagram permissions’ in case it was stuck, but it still says the same. I’ve tried everything and have searched everywhere, with no help to be found. Any ideas what I should be doing? Note: The 1 automation has nothing to do with the DM, it’s a comment flow

Hi everyone,Hoping to get some help here as there have been support delays at Manychat. We have a new pro MC account and we are working with several influencers on Instagram. I have already been added as an admin on their Facebook accounts, and  their FB accounts are connected to Instagram, per MC recommendations. I have gone back and forth with MC, tried disconnecting and reconnecting, confirming 2FA, etc., still the Instagram accounts of the influencers are not showing up when I go to add a new account in MC. Has anyone dealt with this? It’s really slowing us down now and MC support is taking 5-7 days between replies. Thank you

I created an automation to send a Whatsapp message to contacts I have on Manychat. 
I have tried several triggers based on contacts but none send message. I have tried: Contact subscribes to a sequenceContact has a tagBut none work, from the automation I see that the trigger starts (I see the value 1-2 on the trigger) but the message is not sent then. 
How can I solve this? 

Trying to run an automation so that when someone comments on a post on Instagram they are entered into a giveaway, but having some issues.It worked the first time I commented (on my clients post), and sent the message as set out in initial flow split 1, but when I commented a second time it did not send another message/update their count.I also set up a secondary automation that when they get tagged as having entered the giveaway it will send a message and get them to confirm their email, but this also didn’t come through for me. Initial Flow looks like the following:trigger (comment on instagram post) action (set user field: increase mentions by 1) condition (tag is giveaway_entry - this is where is splits)split 1 - doesn’t match conditions (this is working)add tag (giveaway_entry) send message, with discount code and button to site to shopsplit 2 - already tagged as giveaway_entry (this one is not working)send message thanking them for another comment/entry into giveawaySecondary flo
