Is it possible to create or update a flow via ManyChat APIs?

Hi community,I was skimming through the ManyChat Swagger API docs and came across the endpoint/fb/page/getFlows It looks like this endpoint returns all the existing flows (automations) created in a connected account, which is great.However, I couldn’t find any reference to an endpoint like /createFlow or /updateFlow, which would allow us to create or modify a flow programmatically.I also asked the AI in the platform’s help center, and it mentioned that creating a flow via API is possible — but I couldn’t find any official documentation or endpoints for it.So my questions are: Is there an officially supported way to programmatically create a new flow via API? Can we update flow content (like CTAs, messages, or trigger keywords) using the API? If not currently available, is there a recommended workaround or feature planned? Thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction!

Duplicate Message Issue When Triggering API in ManyChat Flows Across Sub-Accounts

Hello everyone,We are in the process of setting up automated reminders for our leads using our custom API. While doing this, we’ve encountered an issue: when we trigger our API call within a flow, the message is sent twice to the same lead, even though it should only be sent once.Our ManyChat setup consists of a single main account that contains multiple sub-accounts. Each sub-account uses a different WhatsApp number and has its own flow. However, we’ve noticed something strange: even though these flows are in separate sub-accounts, they all seem to have the same Content ID number. This might be linked to the duplicate message issue, but we’re not sure.We’re trying to understand two main things:Why are duplicate messages being sent when we call our API inside the flow?Why do different flows in different sub-accounts appear to share the same Content ID?If anyone has experienced a similar problem or knows how to resolve this, your guidance would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advanc

META Invalid Conversions API Credentials

I am unable to configure the Goal Conversions API. I followed Manychat's step-by-step instructions to configure it, but every time I enter my Data Set ID and the Token generated by META, it always gives an error saying “Invalid conversion API credentials”. How to solve this problem?

Help with tracking - Meta Ads

Hello everyone, I have the following challenge: we have a reel that was posted organically on Instagram. Here the customer can secure a freebie with a keyword. We have now recycled this reel as an ad. In order not to lose the trust, we have not changed the reel. Now the people who become aware of the reel via the ad also have the chance to secure the freebie with the keyword. How can I use Manychat to give organic customers the UTM parameter with source=organic and the customer who became aware of me via the ad the UTM parameter source=paid?

Can’t connect my Instagram & Facebook account to ManyChat – integration seems broken

I’ve been trying to connect my Instagram and Facebook account to ManyChat, but the platform simply won’t link properly.Although ManyChat appears as a connected app in both Facebook and Instagram settings, the account doesn’t fully connect — I can’t access the automation setup screen, and the system behaves as if there’s no connection.I’ve already gone through all the available troubleshooting steps (clearing cache, switching browsers, checking permissions, reconnecting pages, logging out and back in, etc.), but nothing has worked.The Facebook Page and Instagram profile were never connected to any other ManyChat account in the past.Can you please investigate and help me finally complete the connection?

Contact stopped notifications. Sending isn't available until contact resumes them.→ user even after clicking “get updates” is not able to resubscribe.When we deleted the contact from Manychat to refresh it in Manychat database, there is still no reaction after clicking “get updates”. User tried all setting in messanger, also was clicking on our ref link to the subscription list to get back on the list, but nothing is working. Still Manychat does not see subscription

My business is a service type. How to maximize the Buy Button?

Hi! I’m running a luggage storage business, and I want customers to transact via the chatbot for the entirety. However the buy button seems to be designed for retail kind of transaction. Is there a way to make it for a service type? Like if a customer wants to store a luggaged sized A by x quantity in y days?

Issue Exporting Contacts to Google Sheet

Hi Everyone, I’ve some automations in my Social Media to deliver content when people comment to my posts or stories. But I wanted to start collect peoples contact to a Google Sheet and added a step for that. What I’ve noticed is that after running some of my automations a lot of time, my Google Sheet has only 1 contact and only the first and last name.The data I’m collecting:Frist Name Last Name Email PhoneHas anyone faced a similar issue? I was expecting that every time some triggered the automation, it would add the new user’s details to the automation.This is the example of an automation:I’ve put the Action on the beginning. Is it in the right place?Many thanks

What happens to all the templates, automations, and shortcuts if I delete a WhatsApp number and enter another?

I need to delete my current WhatsApp number that is connected to Minchat and then connect (in a way that allows the number to be both in Minchat and with me) a new number, my question is what will happen with all the automations I have already built, the WhatsApp template for which I have already received approval, and the broadcasts I have built?Will they be deleted completely?Will they remain but I will not be able to use them, or will I be able to activate them all once I have a new number?I would love to hear from anyone who knows..

instable Last interaction in WhatsApp

I'm currently using WhatsApp automation and relying on the "last interaction" timestamp to trigger reminder messages. However, I've noticed inconsistent behavior with this parameter — sometimes it successfully triggers the reminder, and other times it doesn't, even when the conditions seem to be met.I'm looking for a more reliable method to trigger reminder messages to customers on WhatsApp, based on the time since their last interaction/message.Specifically, I want to: Detect if a customer hasn't responded within a specific time window (e.g., 12 or 23 hours). Automatically send a friendly follow-up/reminder message if no response was received. Ensure it works consistently, regardless of whether the customer's last message was text, media, or quick reply. Is there a best practice or alternative approach to reliably track last user activity in WhatsApp and trigger reminders accordingly (e.g., via session events, message logs, or contact activity flags)?
