General Q&A

Everytime someone dms me and it includes the keyword, the automated message is sent. How can I make it so that it will only send if the keyword is in the first message someone sends me on Instagram rather than every message? Thank you.

I have a Manychat account that I have connected to make.com and open AI. The user sends a message to a phone number connected to manychat and they get a response through my open ai API. It works well. The text the user receives after sending their prompt or question is relevant but upon responding, manychat also sends the question or "prompt" back to the user along with the answer.  i have two automation flows set up. One is for when a user signs up and the other is for cyclical conversación with the user.  but when i run it, i continue to receive both the answer to my question and the question itself. the build is made using make.com and open ai’s chatgpt. Also this is for sms only, and not for instagram engagement or social media. I would appreciate any and all guidance thank you!

Hello everyone! Hope you’re doing well!We currently saw that the messages on Instagram were not fully displayed.We were advised to insert a “quick reply” and then send the actual link as a second message when someone clicks on the quick reply. But..., I don't know how to set up this automation.. Can someone send me an instruction or describe how to set it up? Thank you!!

 Dear ManyChat Support Team,I hope this message finds you well.I am writing to express my disappointment and seek urgent assistance regarding the issues I am facing with WhatsApp integration and catalog creation.Recently, I registered with ManyChat and followed the instructions to delete my existing WhatsApp account to connect it with the chatbot. Subsequently, I attempted to create a new catalog on WhatsApp, as I had deleted the previous one upon your recommendation. Unfortunately, I am now unable to create a new catalog, which is causing significant disruption to my business operations.Our business relies heavily on customers being able to view our catalog on WhatsApp. The inability to recreate the catalog is not only frustrating but is also impacting our customer experience and sales.Additionally, I am experiencing difficulties in using the same number on the WhatsApp Business app. Despite my efforts, I have been unable to set up WhatsApp

When I send a link to a Telegram group or my DM’s with the bot there is a pop-up when the user clicks the link. (see screenshot). I used a bot from a different company before, there was no such pop-up, the user instantly got redirected to the group/DMs. Is there a way to remove this pop-up on ManyChat for links to groups/Dms? Thank you! :) Screenshot

Hello, wondering if Manychat has a tool that automatically sends a private message right after any person uses a particular hashtag or keyword?That could be a message with special offer, unique discount code etc..

Hi,I have a flow that starts from the "offline world" lolImportant: this is a flow that someone can use from their phone or someone else.If I validate that the user is using the pre-registered number (it's a Whatsapp flow), when I use the {firstname} variable, it uses the value coming from the Whatsapp. But I do have on Manychat, via integration, the real name.So, if I validate the phone number, how can I correctly call my user using {firstname} and not her son's name or SuperQueen80?Thanks

HelloSay I want to create an automation with manychat, and when my user hasn’t responded in say 20 seconds I would like to ask him if he’s still there. If he’s not, we will wait 5 mins to ask him again, and if he still doesn’t answer we close the convo. But if he does answer we continue the flow. I tried to research how to implement such thing and couldn’t find anything. Does anybody have any idea?

seriously asking and need an immediate answer. Excuse me.I will be holding a webinar tonight with more than 1500 participants.and I will give them a bonus.to get the bonus, during the webinar, at that moment I asked them to DM me with certain keywords,then I replied and sent the bonus access using Manychat.Question: If thousands of people DM at the same time, is it safe for my Instagram account?please help with the answer. Thank you to all of you

I configured my manychat flow but after the user clicks on the first message button, the flow stops and no longer sends any of the pre-established messages.  Can someone help me?I really didn't want to have to shorten the flow process, because the messages are very strategic. It doesn't make sense to cut it and make it small to fit just one message

I’d like to create an automation for Instagram that:-When someone comments a keyword on a Reel, the bot replies to that comment and ALSO sends a DM to the user who commented.I remember that one year ago it was possible to do that, but now, there’s no “next step” after a “Reply Comment” box

Hi there,I’m new to manychat. I’ve just created a new automation.The problem is the post already has over 200 comments where they commented a specific keyword “me”.  Is there a way manychat can reach out to all those people? Or does the automation only work for *new* comments?  Thank you!

Hi everyone, I've set up an automation for Fb ads for IG for my webinar. This is an automation 'user clicks on ad'. I made and saved the funnel before the ad. But in Facebook Ads manager it seems to work, but in real life with the IG ad, it doesn't work.When people press the buttons within the app, the second message doesn't come forward from Manychat.How can I fix this?I already tried with a second automation that should only trigger when 'user sends a message that contains the same words'. But then it also doesn't sent the other message.Does somebody know this problem? And knows the solution? Thanks in advance!!
