General Q&A

If a user who used a keyword in a comment does not see the automated dm message on Instagram because it is blocked in his account settings, can I automate a comment (in response to his comment) in which I ask him to change the settings?

Please help. I just signed up for the free account and tried connecting my Facebook and Instagram accounts to the system. It is looping and asking me to set up the account even though I have, and I've tried this on my phone and laptop 3 times. I've looked in "accounts," and it says there is no account there. It prompts me to add an account, and I click the blue button, and it takes me through the process of adding an account again! What am I doing wrong? Can anyone advise?

Hello 👋Since there’s some sort of API issue with Meta for Facebook scheduled posts, it’s impossible to select a specific post inside an automation (comments growth tool) that was scheduled via Meta Business suite.So is it possible instead at least to have an option (that is available for Instagram) to enable it for Next post/reel?That would be super helpful 🙏

Hello,I would like to set up a chatbot on social networks for several of my customers. How many chatbots can I create with one account?And is it better to have a single manychat account with all my customers or must each customer have their own manychat account?Thank you 🤩

Hi there! For the past 4 hours I have been working on try to fixing my automations for comment reples on my instagram. Before today they have always worked with no issues. It says that the automation is published and live but when someone comments they do not get a DM or a reply to their comment. I have disconnected my instagram from Many Chat, refreshed permissions multiple times, and done everything I know to troubleshoot. Still not working. Is there a bug or what can I do to fix this problem?

After changing email of an account I cannot login to my own account due to Autologin to facebook.How can I login with my email saved in my account?

When connecting to your account, Instagram shows an error - access for this page is denied

Documentation say you can modify custom user fields of type “array” in UI: https://support.manychat.com/support/solutions/articles/36000267937-custom-user-fields-array-typeModifying arraysModifying data in CUFs with array type is possible via:External request mapping Application action mapping API UIBut I can not do it in UI. The field is unclickable. Any ideas? Also if I try to set value of this field in Actions, I can’t. The field is marked as unknown (see attachement).  

Hi all I’m interested in adding a small percentage markup to a total payment amount. Would this use case be possible so us, the builders get a small commission for each transaction amount of our client? So in this case there could be two paypal or stripe accounts connected.I would be happy to explore another workaround via integrations or automations. Thanks

Hi Guys, I'm doing some test of Manychat. I created a simple automation. Keywords is the triger, next the answer is sending to the user, on his DM. As a user, I can't see the answer. I have only the notification that I get some message but I can’t see it. As a entrepreneur, I see the message was sent. What is the problem, how can I fix it?? Thank you in advanceRenata

Hello I'm trying to link my FB and insta to set up many chats but when I go to insta to confirm linking the accounts an error message comes up at the very end that something is wrong on their end.  It's been weeks of this and I reported it to instagram.  What do I do?! Help!

Hi. I am new to ManyChat and was wondering if anyone knows if it’s possible to add a step after I send the message with a link for a chapter download. I was hoping to then send a message offering a discount on the book purchase. I can’t figure out how to do it. Thanks. terri

I don't know why I'm being told that the Instagram channel is not connected. I have already connected the Facebook and Instagram pages even if the profile images displayed in manylabs do not correspond to the ones I currently have. could anyone help me? 

Hi there - we are new to manychat and trying to integrate it into our company’s instagram dm’s. When there is a dm from someone, this checklist is automatically sent and we want to remove it. Any tips? Photo included for clarity.  

On some of my automations it says the CTR is n/a or 0%. What does it mean when it says n/a? Is it that no one clicked on it or that ManyChat couldn’t collect data on it? 

I’ve gone over all the troubleshooting but the automation insta comments  to a DM are just not working? Any hints please to help x

HelloI would like to start off by saying that we’re a job platform that offers different kinds of jobs on Instagram, and we ask our users to comment “Yes”, post which we DM them the job link that they’re looking for. We post everyday on Instagram and each job is different which means that each link is different too. My question is - Let’s say person ‘X’ comments on our video/reel, and Manychat sends them a DM, X is now a contact established with Manychat. Say the same X person comments on another video for another job link, and Manychat sends them a DM, will that be counted as 2 contacts, or just 1? Is there a limit to how many times can one person comment on different videos and get DMs? Also, I wanted to know if we automate for comments as well, if X comments, when they get a response via comments and DM, will it be considered as 1 contact or 2 contacts?There is no clarification for this. Would appreciate if I could get some form of help! Thanks.
