Hello, everyone.We already have a WhatsApp line in the company and we would like to add it as a channel to Manychat.Currently, we are using another platform where we receive WhatsApp queries.It does not allow us to add the existing line and only gives us the option to add the new line.If we select “Use my own number” it takes me to Meta. I advance a little with the configuration and when I get here the only option available is to create an account, when we already have one.Thanks for the help.

Is it possible to create a DM follow up message? When I send a DM on instragram it would be nice if manychat could follow up 2 days after if the user doesnt reply. Is this possible?

Hi there,Overview of the SetupI use a main automation that includes a helper automation called activateChaseUserEmailAddress Automation. The flow is as follows: 1. User comments on my post2. activateChaseUserEmailAddress Automation: This helper automation collects the user’s email address.3. Send Resource Automation: After the email is collected, this automation sends the requested resource to the user. Detailed Explanation 1. User comments on my post: The trigger for the entire process.2. activateChaseUserEmailAddress Automation: This automation is called within the main automation to collect the user’s email address. The main automation makes a request to this helper automation and waits for it to complete.3. Send Resource Automation: Once the activateChaseUserEmai

Some automations are being activated in my direct message without the user sending the trigger. In the middle of the conversation mediated by the social seller, an automation is suddenly sent, out of context. Is this a Manychat configuration or an Instagram error?This automation indicated by the arrow emoji that was sent suddenly. 

Buenos días a todos. Tenemos ya una línea de WhatsApp en la empresa y nos gustaría añadirla como canal a Manychat. Actualmente, estamos utilizando otra plataforma donde recibimos las consultas de WhatsApp. No nos permite agregar la línea existente y nos da únicamente la opción de agregar la nueva línea. Si seleccionamos “Use my own number” me lleva a Meta. Avanzo un poco con la configuración y al llegar aquí la única opción disponible es crear una cuenta, cuando ya nosotros tenemos. Gracias por la ayuda. 

Hello, I am new to ManyChat and need assistance. I attempted to link my WhatsApp to the platform to automate responses and manage messages from here. I had to deactivate my number on WhatsApp because ManyChat was not accepting it, indicating that it already had an account. After deactivating it on WhatsApp, I was able to link it to ManyChat, but I couldn't respond to any messages. I panicked and tried to deactivate it on ManyChat, but I CAN'T. Now, not only can I not see incoming messages or respond, but I also can't return my number to WhatsApp. It doesn't work! It's a complete disaster.  Please Help me. Whatsapp is the first way of contact my clients.

Hi there, Is there any possibilities to delete the contacts through automation in pro plan? Thanks in advanceRamesh

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW CHATBOT CAN RECOGNIZE AN AUDIO USER INPUT, I AM USING CHATGPT ALONG WITH MANYCHAT TO MAKE A BOT, BUT WHEN I RECEIVE AN AUDIO I WOULD LIKE TO PAUSE THE INTERACTION SINCE CHATGPT IS NOT ABLE TO INTERPRET AUDIO

Hi i I set up an dinstagram automation but when they send me a message the conersation starter doenst ignite. What do i do wrong? 

When I click on “send message” in my facebook ad which should take me to a Manychat flow, I oftentimes see the following,     “Something Went Wrong   We are currently  updating this feature in response to new rules for messaging services in Europe”     I am posting this ad within 15 mile radius of central Illinois.  Please help!!!Phil

After a love-hate relationship with URLGenius, we’re looking for deeplinking alternatives to open Manychat Ref URLs (on both Messenger and Instagram, if possible) directly on the Messenger and/or Instagram apps. What platforms would you recommend? How have you been redirecting contacts from a mobile browser or email platform without getting them to type their email and password to log in?

Hello,I am new here and planning to use Manychat from tomorrow on for my creator account on IG. About a month ago I created my free account with Manychat but am currently having neither keywords defined nor an automation set up yet. I just logged in and it shows me that I have 14 contacts already without even having used Manychat once...I don't get it. My private account is one of these contacts, and I am 100% sure I did not subscribe to my Manychat account or test a keyword or something as I did not even have set a keyword yet.How can that be that there are random IG accounts (some of them spam accounts, but not all) added to my contacts & community without having interacted with any of my posts (as my IG account is new and I will only be starting to post from tomorrow on)? As I am planning to go for a paid account with Manychat but as the price increases with increasing contacts, I want to make sure that I only pay for contacts who actua

How many FB & IG Accounts can I add to one Manychat account please?

Dear Support Team,I have created a rule to update a custom field whenever a tag is added to a contact. However, after applying the tag to all my contacts, the rule did not trigger as expected.The rule only works if I manually change the tag by entering the chat with each contact.I need to apply this rule to my entire client base of 220,000 contacts. Could you please assist me in resolving this issue?Thank you for your help.Best regards,

Hi, how can I change the direction of the automated chats and move them to the “General” section instead of the “Main” one? 

Using Manychat most of the time for dm Automations based on Keyword comments, and it works for 90% of the time, but for ±50 Messages a day I have to manually send the message.The user which commented gets an empty message to his DM’s where it says something like that: xxxx sent you a message to a comment u wrote. (dont know exactly cause I use german Instagram, but u can take a look on the added Screenshot) Is there anyway to fix this? 

Is it possible to send a DM to existing followers or do I have to manually do this follower by follower? I am not looking to automate a DM upon a new follow. I want to DM each of my 100K followers. Is this possible?

Does Manychat work with PRIVATE facebook groups? I can only select a trigger from my business profile page. 

Hello! I've been having a problem with the flow in IG for a few days now. The flow stops after clicking a button, not giving you the next step or link. After sending the first message, the quick reply works fine, but on the second message, the quick reply, which links to a new bubble with a referral link to a website, does not work. The flow stops.Here is an example of what the message looks like. A new message should appear after the "more recipes" prompt, sending the bink button to the recipe website. I do this step because otherwise, I go over characters if I put a button on it after submitting the recipe. 

How do turn off / disable this subscription feature, i tried automating and disabling the auto reply but whenever someone sending that keyword it automatically send this text 

I’m using a keyword comments to trigger DM automations but for some reason it will only send the first message in my automation.  First message has a button with the link.  66% of those who received the message clicked this link.  But only 8% of people who clicked that link received the next message.  Any ideas on how to trouble shoot this?  The second message has a 1 hour delay so should still be within the 24 hour window.  

Hi there, I set up an instagram automation that triggered for key words in the comments of a specific post. This works great. However, the automation had multiple steps and message boxes to it. The initial message box including a link to a blog would send to them but then once they clicked the link, I chose the action to opt them in for instagram DMs. Within the 24 hour window, the automation was designed to send a second message box asking if they wanted a discount code and there were a few more interactive message boxes after that one. However, only the first message box was sent to 95% of the people who clicked through the initial link sent. My understanding is that if people engage with the first message box, they can be contacted through manychat automation within 24 hours but this seems to not work for flows? The few people who got the full chatbot automation were on my contacts subscriber list. How do I convert more followers/non-foll
