Typing Delay not Working Correctly

n my flow I have Waiting Delays followed by Typing Delays. When I test the flow from my iPhone, I do not see the typing dots. The dots showing typing are not there. In regular conversations on Messenger they are there. When I use my iMac the typing dots are there. Basically Amy typing delays are showing as a waiting delays.

Improve Keyword Trigger Accuracy

If I give the word “ME” as a trigger in a CTA, and somebody wants to comment not as a CTA but just as a reply on my post to comment and uses the word “me” in the sentence then this persons will also be put in the automation. But that should not happen because it was not meant as a trigger word. Can something be done about that? So that the automation only starts if only the word “ME” is replied and not when used in a sentence?

Can I have multiple WhatsApp Business numbers under 1 Facebook Business Manager?

Hey all, I have a FB Business Manager account with 2 ad accounts. Each ad account has a different business that I run. Under the “Business info” in the FB BM, I have added the business details of one of the businesses (because it is an older business). Now it is starting to get tricky :) I have 2 Manychat accounts (one for each business). I have created a WhatsApp Business Account to the older business and now I want to create for the second one. When I trying to connect my 2nd Manychat WhatsApp Business number, I am being asked to connect it with my FB Business Manager account and the “WhatsApp Business display name” is similar to my Business name of the FB Business Manager (make sense, because I called it that way). My question is, if I continue with the connection, will I be able to change the name of my 2nd WhatsApp Business number later? I don’t want to have 2 WhatsApp Business Numbers with the same WhatsApp Business disaply name. Also, Is it allowed to have 2 WhatsApp Business

Additional Action not working on Instagram button when I select open website for this Button

Hi Manychat Community,I found a bug on while working on Instagram automation.On Instagram Card, I have added 3 buttons. From the 3 buttons I have set “open website” for 2 buttons and for the 2 buttons I have added additional action. The additional action was increased by 1 user field. The motive of the additional action was to track clicks. But additional action was not working or triggered.I have set the same setup for Messenger and WhatsApp, and it is working fine I am able to track the click through the additional action but on Instagram, it's not working. Can anyone know what is issue how to solve it ?

Public Replies No Longer Working

I started using ManyChat last week, and it has been wonderful up until the past couple of days. Yesterday and today my automations don’t seem to be working quite right. My automation will be sent when someone comments on a post/reel. The DM seems to be sent just fine, but the public comment replies aren’t working anymore. Has anyone run into this issue? Is there a fix?

None of my automations are working

Hello everyone! I have rarely been so frustrated with any app, as I am with Many Chat. I have set up all of my automations both on Instagram as well as Facebook and non of them are working! I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. I have no one who can help me. I have launched my course online and since none of my manychat automations are working, the process isn’t moving. I have sent messages to manychat, however, the turnaround time is quite long and never quite understand what the issue is. If anyone can possibly help me with this, I shall be very grateful!

NEED HELP - Daily response report

I posted 4 months ago and never got a response (pic attached). the daily average response time report. Can some break down exactly what it’s calculated off of? I need to make sure I understand so I can coach my sales people. does it take into account only open conversations? if a conversation is open and then closed does it count all of those responses too? If we’re actively going back and forth with someone on IG is every response counted or just the initial? if one lead slips through the cracks and goes beyond the 7 days and we respond in IG directly does that impact the time? is there any way to see this report on the desktop? any insight and help is appreciatedthanks

Admins can't click buttons

My colleague and I who are admins on the profile can't tap the button to test our flows - even from our personal IG accounts. It works on other profiles, just not ours…. what can we do?

When I try testing our business's flows from my personal IG account, I can't tap on the buttons… however when I use someone else's profile it works. My colleague and I both experience this problem - is it because we are loaded as users on the business profile? What can I do about this - GOTTA be testing my flows!

Turn off trackpad update?

Is there any way we can turn this off? The new update is making it hard to navigate, I think it thinks my Mac mouse is a trackpad and now it’s really cumbersome to actually build anything!

Dynamic Block Date Not Displayed Correctly in Smart Delay

Hello,I'm experiencing an issue with a dynamic block that returns a valid response but isn't working as expected in the flow.I have a dynamic block that, in the test, delivers the following response:```json{"version":"v2","content":{"type":"instagram","actions":[{"action":"set_field_value","field_name":"LIVE_DATA_HORA","value":"2024-10-09T20:00:00.000Z"}],"quick_replies":[]}}```When I print this `LIVE_DATA_HORA` variable into a custom variable, it displays on Instagram as `2024-10-09T17:00:00-0300`.The issue starts here because I want to use this variable in a **Smart Delay** as a dynamic date, but the delay is not respecting the date I'm getting from the server.I would like to understand why this time difference is happening and how I can make sure the configured date and time are correctly used in the **Smart Delays**.Here is the flow for your analysis:- Shared: [link to the shared flow](https://manychat.com/flowPlayerPage?share_hash=806387719412447_c40cc58dda227fcbb2df99fa539152acfe

Why is ChatGPT 4o still not implemented in Manychat?

I’m really surprised that Manychat hasn’t implemented GPT-4 yet, especially when many other chatbot platforms are already taking advantage of its advanced capabilities. GPT-4 offers far better accuracy and natural language understanding compared to older models, which could significantly improve the user experience and help Manychat stay competitive.Why is this still not available? It feels like we’re falling behind in terms of AI capabilities. I’d like to know if there’s a specific reason for the delay or if there’s any plan to integrate GPT-4 soon. Many of us are ready for more advanced chatbot options, and it's frustrating not to have them here.

I want a condition to stop or trigger automation

I don't want the automation to be triggered when I write to the customer or if the customer sends several messages.Because with each message from the customer, the chatbot will launch the automation.

How to Stop Automation After Customer Replies?

Hi everyone,I'm looking for a way to stop the automation after a customer replies to our bot. For example, if someone texts us and the bot sends an automatic reply, I want the bot to stop sending automatic replies if the customer texts again.Is there a way to achieve this?

Maximum number of automations

Are there a maximum number of automations that can be set up?I want to link each individual instagram post to a different DM (that has a different URL). It will be around 200 posts a month - so 200 extra automation workflows a month.

Automation randomly triggering

Hi there, I have a few automations set up with Keyword triggers - very simple email capturing flows. One of them seems to be going off randomly mid-conversation in my DM’s/Story replies. For example I reached out to someone to ask her a question in my DMS and it set off - she didn’t opt in or reach out to me. My keywords are short - PSA, MA & WL. The automation that is randomly sending is set up exactly like the other 2 and they are not randomly triggering. I am wondering if they keywords are to short? Maybe they are being triggered within words. My IG is @Docwishloff

why is this random Photo and name showing when we send a ref url in IG??

Hey guys why might this image be showing on computer view when we send a ref url on IG?

Good afternoon, I would like to ask if your platform has the possibility to connect not 1 Instagram account for customization of AI assistant, but many? If I want to set up 10-20-30 chat bots for different instagram pages through my 1 account in your service, is it possible?
