Only the text is delivered to recipients, and the image is completely missing.I've double-checked the setup and even attached a screenshot for reference (see below), but the problem persists.Could you please help me resolve this issue? Thank you in advance!

Automations not working

Hi All, I’ve created lots of automatons in the past but adding a new one today (Ive created new and copied a previous one, I know it’s probably not the best way but has always worked before) and neither are generating replies in the comments or DM’s. I’ve had a few comments of the key word which aren’t even showing in the many chat data for the automation.  Any ideas?

Can see connected instagram account

Im added to a clients account as an editor. The client is showing me screenshots that his instagram account is connected but on my side it shows no instagram account is connected and there are no recent messages in the inbox. Could this be because im an editor and need to be changed to admin? Or maybe he didnt add me to the right account? Any help is greatly appreciated. ThanksP.s this is a pro plan

❓ManyChat: Why do “Promoted Posts” only show organic posts — not my actual ads?

Hey everyone! I’m trying to set up tailored auto-replies per ad using ManyChat’s Facebook Comments Growth Tool.But when I go to select a “Promoted Post,” it only shows my organic Facebook posts, not the actual ad posts I created in Ads Manager.Even when I try to enter the Ad ID manually, it doesn’t recognize it.My goal is to have different auto-replies for each ad (based on product, price, etc.), but using “All Posts” sends the same message across all ads — which I want to avoid.➡️ Is there any workaround to target specific ad posts from Ads Manager in ManyChat?

User sistem fields/ sistem fileds

 Hi ManyChat Community,I'm facing an issue with Custom Fields in ManyChat. Previously, we had "Custom Fields" where I could set a condition with a Custom Field, an Operation, and a Value (e.g., Custom Field + Operation + Value). Now, it seems to have changed to "User Custom Field" with only Tag and Value options, and I can no longer set specific conditions like before.I need this functionality for a quiz where I calculate scores based on user answers. I want to sum up the responses and store the final score in a Custom Field. Additionally, I collect user data (e.g., name) before the quiz starts, and I need to export the quiz results, including the score, to Google Sheets under the same name as the user who completed the quiz.1. How can I restore or replicate the old Custom Field setup (Custom Field + Operation + Value) to sum quiz answers?2. What's the best way to export the quiz score and user data (e.g., name) to Google Sheets, ensuring the score is linked to the correct user?Any hel

Facing a comment and automation problem

Hey everyone,I’m running into two serious issues with my Instagram automation using ManyChat, and it’s costing me leads. 1. Auto DMs not sending anymoreI set up an automation that triggers when someone comments a keyword (e.g. “Zoom”) — it sends them a lead magnet via DM.It worked fine at first, but after a while, people kept commenting but stopped receiving the DM.No error messages in ManyChat, just nothing happens anymore. 2. Keyword comments are invisible to my main accountThis one's weird — the comments with the trigger word don’t even appear on my main Instagram account.But I can still see them if I check from another account (e.g. a friend’s or my alt).As a result, ManyChat doesn’t reply to them either, as if the comments didn’t exist. What I’ve already checked: The correct IG post is selected No error or warning in ManyChat Account is professional (not personal) I’m not over any visible usage quota Permissions seem fine

Can I Simulate Typing Between Sentences in the AI Step?

Hi team! I'm using the AI Step on Instagram Direct with the Manychat AI add-on activated. I’d like to know if there’s a way to add delays between AI-generated responses to make them feel more natural and human — as if the assistant is taking time to type each part.I’m also wondering if it’s possible to enable the “typing…” effect (typing indicator) within the AI Step, or if that only works with regular message blocks.I’ve already tested using a Smart Delay after the AI Step, but that only works between blocks, not within a single AI response that has multiple sentences.So my main question is:Is there any way to insert delays and typing effects between phrases generated by the same AI Step?Thanks so much for the support! ✨

How do I only reply to an IG comment without also sending a DM?

Hello!I have the free version.    I am trying to set up a flow that simply responds to an Instagram comment with a public comment reply.  I do not want it to send a DM.  When I set up the trigger for “respond to comment on post or reel”, it walks me through steps within the trigger itself to pick the post and set up some replies, which I have done. But then it requires me to add a second step. I don’t need or want another step but it won’t work without one.  The only second step in the flow I can see to add is “send message” and I have tried adding that and setting it to comment only, but it is sending it as a DM.I really just want it to reply with the few replies I set up in trigger. How do I get it to do that?thanks in advancejean
