General Q&A

Hello,I need some urgent help.I’ve been using Manychat for months with pretty much no issues.I’m running a keyword comment trigger that DMs the user and then collects email in exchange for me sending them a free guide.I’ve been receiving an influx of comments over the past weeksOut of nowhere about 24 hours ago, my account stopped auto-replying to comments and it stopped sending out DMs to everyone. It basically just completely stopped working.I have went through all of the troubleshooting, refreshing permissions, and anything else I could find.Can someone please help me? This is really hurting my business.Thank you for your support very much. 

I’m facing an issue where messages sent through ManyChat automation workflows for Messenger aren’t appearing in Bitrix24’s open channels. However, messages sent manually or outside of the automation workflows do show up correctly. Has anyone experienced this problem or knows how to resolve it?

Can anyone confirm for me whether we can set up the Buy button, using Stripe, for Instagram DMs?I thought it was possible, but on the Chatter Matters webinar the other night, someone said it was Messenger only?This article - albeit quite old - suggests otherwise?https://manychat.com/blog/feature-announcement-instagram-buy-button/Can anyone confirm?

WhatsApp broadcast frequently encounters with message not delivered, this started happening about a month ago, why is this? Technical support keep telling me is because the user blocked us, which is not true. Why would multiple clients request for us to contact them and blocked us? Our normal WhatsApp account is able to reach these clients.

Now I am trying to start a flow via Make automation. But now it says Flow does not exists. But I grabbed it from the top URL like it said and still nothing.

Right now I have it set up, where when someone updates their email in ManyChat, it sends that new email address over to the email marketing platform (in this case to Drip via Zap). But what it does is create a brand new contact vs replacing the email address that was previously there.Is there a work around for this?

Hi all, Recently I ran a post on Instagram driving people to comment, and in return we would DM them a link. As it was a free pass, I knew it would do really well - so didn’t include autoreplies to their comments, as I know sometimes Instagram could stop you commenting for 24 hours.It’s done really well, 6k uses in like 48 hours - but now a lot of people are not going the link. They are being told we’ve sent them a message but are not able to view it. Is this a Manychat issue in that it’s struggling with the volume - or is Instagram starting to block them being sent because it views it as spam? Would love to know of any work arounds! As it’s annoying because I’m having to manually send lots of people the link when they complain that it is not working!Thanks,Harry

Hello, friends!Only the first day I registered in Manychat. And I mistakenly changed my email after registration. I did not understand correctly. I thought it would be visible to all users, so I wanted to change it. Now I immediately have problems. Can't log into Manychat. What should I do? How to fix it?Please help.

Is there a way to automatically mark contacts as closed after a certain period of time?  I don’t want inactive contacts going towards my monthly bill, but don’t want to have to manually close out all of the DM conversations that I’m receiving.

I’m in Facebook Ads Manager and in the Partner App section I’ve selected ManyChat. However, when I select ManyChat as the partner app none of my message flows (which are live in manychat) are showing up. The error I’m getting is that is says “Message flow doesn’t exist”. But they do exist. Are are live. I also have the Admin role in ManyChat - which I know is also an issue sometimes. Is there anything else I can check in terms of permissions? What else could cause FB Ads Manager to recognize that the Partner App ManyChat is there but not be able to access any of the existing flows? 

Hello, good morning!I’ve noticed that my current daily conversation limit on WhatsApp Business is only 250, whereas it should be 1,000 conversations within a 24-hour cycle, as provided by Meta.I suspect that increasing this limit might be linked to the Business Verification, which is the only step that hasn’t been approved on my account.Could you please guide me on how to complete this Business Verification step? The link provided by Manychat is giving an error: https://help.manychat.com/hc/articles/14959925356572-User-Guide-How-to-Check-if-Your-WhatsApp-Account-is-Ready-to-Use Additionally, I’m facing issues when trying to integrate my WhatsApp Business account through Meta Business. The system doesn’t recognize the number registered in Manychat, even though the number is already linked to WhatsApp via Manychat. I would really appreciate the assistance of anyone who can help!Best regards,Matheus Magalhães

I Have several Manychat flows that I updated the website links and made sure everything was turned on. Now the flows are not sensing when the keyword is typed and I son’t know what to do and I cannot find a customer service email or anything to get help.

Hi, I am trying to collect names from IG Automation. So I try to ask leads about their name, then save their name to custom field, then later on I put down the custom field (the variable), the saved information (which is the name of the lead) will be shown. However, it only shows the code of the custom field. I tried to change the name of the custom field to see whether it will work or not, but it can’t. Do you know why? Did I put down anything which causes this issue? Thank you.

Hi team,I’ve been a paying member for a long time, and just this week have opened up a secondary new account that we currently have on just the free version. I created an Instagram automation that I converted to Facebook and it’s live and working fine, and I went to create an Instagram one but it’s not allowing me to toggle the trigger to ‘on’.Are Instagram automations not included in the free account?Thanks!
