Hello, I am trying to connect my whatsapp to an openai assistant as a chatbot to converse with using custom knowledgebase. But the problem is in the POSt requests are not working with me. After i save the conversation thread and the user responses in their variables, I try to send it via post request in json format to my application url, but i get this error: <!doctype html><html lang=en><title>500 Internal Server Error</title><h1>Internal Server Error</h1><p>The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.</p>

Can I reply with different comment if I can't send DM in Instagram?

I have the keyword comment to DM setup for instagram, and some people's settings do not let them receive DMs"This account can't receive your message because they don't allow new message requests from everyone."Instead of replying to their comment "sent! check your dms!" can manychat recognize that they can't receive messages and send a different replay "I can't DM you, you can check the link in my bio"?I've seen one creator do this, not sure if he's using manychat.

Is there no support for this app whatsoever?

FAQs and a chat bot that loops back to itself when trying to open a ticket?… fantastic. I would like to know about the main issues with this app as we are using SendPulse and it is giving us message and automation issues. Apparently this app is partnered with Meta?What I did is rebuild our entire flow from SendPulse into ManyChat. But we are not going to ‘shift’ to this app without understanding its application and use in terms of what we need. Also, I think our account is a professional account and it says in the pricing that technical support is available as an additional feature? I don’t see that anywhere. so, if someone could explain to me precisely where I can find support?According to my research this app experience problems just as SendPulse does with automated messages. So if someone from actual support can get back to me via my email, that would be fantastic because we are looking for a proper solutio

Stop automation after a specific date even if a user is already in the middle of it

Hello ManyChat Community,I hope you're all doing well!I have a question regarding managing automations in ManyChat. I would like to know if there is a way to stop an automation after a specific date, even if a user is already in the middle of it. Essentially, I need to ensure that when a user clicks on any buttons in the flow after the set date, the automation either:Displays a specific message indicating that the automation has ended, or Does nothing and prevents the flow from continuing.Has anyone tackled this issue before, or can anyone offer some guidance on how to set this up? I’d really appreciate any advice or solutions you might have.Thanks in advance for your help!Sara

Whatsapp Leads from a physical location

Hello! Would like to create a flow to collect physical WhatsApp Leads.I've done it before for Facebook Ads sending them to Whatsapp, but not sure how to send people that are physically in the location... what would be the best way?Using a QR code? or a NFC chip? How can I differentiate the leads coming from different QR Codes in Manychat? Because nowadays I have a trigger when someone types anything. Should it be based on what they type? or is there another way to know when it is coming based on the QR code por example? TIA

Help Needed: Instagram Reels Not Reaching Non-Followers After Successful Automation Launch

Hi awesome community!I'm currently running ManyChat automations for my newsletter Instagram page about innovation news. I post every day with a different ManyChat automation for each news article. I've been running the automation for a month now. The first three weeks were great, with an increase in engagement, comments, likes, etc. The page was growing!However, in the last week, Instagram suddenly stopped pushing my reels to non-followers. Currently, my last videos haven't reached any non-followers...Has anyone else experienced this or knows what might be causing this problem?

Using a Twilio number to connect with Manychat - Message failure

Any pointers please..?I have a twilio number which is correctly connected to Manychat. I am also using the Textmagic sms platform to send outgoing SMS messages which include a ‘Keyword’ which should trigger a Manychat SMS flow.The process has worked several times up until today. When the required Keyword is entered into the reply SMS message, instead of triggering the Manychat SMS flow, another SMS message (not initiated by the flow) is sent to the sender which reads “Reply STOP to unsubscribe”.It looks like I have missed something, but Im not sure what. Advice appreciated - Cheers :-)

Public replies not working - skips that and goes straight to DM

I am trying to create a simple automation that starts off with multiple public replies with 1 trigger key word, then sends a DM sequence. I set it up in the trigger but when I tried the automation, it didn’t post a public reply and just sends the DM right away. I can’t figure out why it is not replying publicly first. Any ideas?

Does ManyChat automatically un-subscribe contacts from a Subscription List? If ManyChat does do this, any idea the timeframe of when this happens automatically? I had a Subscription List with around 300 contacts in it, but now, there is only 2 (Both signed up in the last month). Anyway to get these contacts back on the Subscription List without having them opt-in again?

Sync between IG inbox and MC inbox

My client has noticed that there is a significant lag time between when she responds to someone in her DMs directly in Instagram and when that message shows up in the Manychat inbox.We are in the middle of a launch currently and I’m trying to help her manage messages, but it’s confusing (and awkward) that her responses to people aren’t displaying for hours.Is there something to sync them faster?

Issues with CUFs in form URL parameters

Hello!I use an Airtable form to capture data from users. I want to send data from the bot to the form using URL parameters that allow me to prefill the form fields. If the Custom Fields are empty, the form fields should also be empty. However, ManyChat sends the Custom Fields' IDs as values in the URL parameters.How to figure this out?
