Comment Auto-DM: How to make keyword "is" not "include"?

Hi guys,I am a beginner in Manychat and I have a question.Let’s say I want people to get my checklist when they comment CHECKLIST.I want people comment “CHECKLIST” ONLY. I dont want people to get my checklist when they use “checklist” in a sentence. For example, they write a comment “I like checklist” - I don’t want these people to get it. Is this possible? Any way to set up something like this?

how can i run multiple automations at the same time?

Hello community, i’m having trouble running multiple automations at the same time and need some help on how to do it or structure it. We have a chatbot on manychats which feeds our crm, so we have multiple triggers such as detect city of interest and detect product of interest e.g. if user sends a whatsapp message that contains “X”, a flow of product “X” starts and it stores “X” in a custom field called product of interest. At the same time, if message contains “City Y” in the message, it stores “City Y” in a custom field called “City of interest”. But seems that if message says I’m interested in X in City Y, it runs only 1 automation (not sure how it chooses which to prioritize) Help would be much appreciated. Thank you

Automation Pause

Currently, there is an option to pause all automations to an user coming to our bot when the Live Agent sends a manual message. Is there any way we can do this make this automated ? Such that, when the user enters a certain response, we stop all the automations

New automations don't work (Auto-DM links from comments)

Hi! I’ve been using Manychat for 2 weeks now and suddenly new automations are not working. I tried refreshing Instagram connection, but new automations still don’t work. All the previous ones do, however I am not able to create any new that is working. All seems fine in Manychat console but when I comment a keyword, no message is delievered. I double-checked keyword spelling and it should work on every post and reel. Any ideas what is the problem here?

Why is this a new thing? This is anti-marketing 101. Less clicks = better results. Just get the link to their inbox, don’t make it a puzzle.Unless I’m missing something and this is a result of some legal issue with just sending something to someone’s inbox. But then ManyChat should specify that.

Automate Removal of Bad Phone Numbers

Feature Request:Please build into Manychat some default behavior for handling Critical SMS Errors.Expected Behaviors: When Manychat receives a response from the Twilio API that contains an error message (Example: Error 30003); notify the Admin of the Manychat account. Admin should be able to indicate how Manychat should handle those errors. Options should include: Ignore Error 30003 Update Contacts Start Flow Admin should no longer be notified about Error 30003, but will get notifications about other errors. Background & Issue: For the last 24 months, I’ve been sending SMS messages on a monthly basis. I’ve recently notice that each month, my percentage of the SMS messages that are UNDELIVERED is going up. I am being triple charged for these messages; for each failed SMS I’m paying Manychat, Twilio, and the phone carrier.

A lógica de ter um whatsapp business e não poder usá-lo!

Eu gostaria de entender a lógica de ter um whatsapp business já conectado a minha conta do Facebook Business e ao tentar conectar aqui no Manychat é recusada, porque?(Questão 1: Esse número será conectado a conta Manychat e só poderá ser usado com estratégias aqui, é isso?)Se o Facebook Business me concede a opção de fazer a conecção com a minha conta porque essa conta do whatsapp não é válida?Engraçado que ninguém faz um tutorial explicando o porque dessa situação?

Pause conversation after AI flow

Hi team! I’m having a serious issue with conversation tracking. In the flows where I have AI, once the flow is marked as closed, if the client writes anything right after, the conversation completely reopens. Is it possible to automatically pause the conversation for 1 day after it’s finished with the AI? That way, if the client writes something, no flow is triggered.

How do I delete my widgets?

Good day to everyone!In the “Contacts” I have my Widgets and I’m not really sure why they are there, I haven’t set any. I would like to delete them but can’t figure out how to do that. The link there is not available anymore and I have concerns that my clients might get confused.So is there any possibility to delete the Widgets? I appreciate any help!

Hi everyone, I have a request regarding the limit of request via API, there is a table that there is a limit as 10 SPS in de Suscriptor side. My question is, if there is any way to increase user per 1 second to attend.? If thats default or by changing the plan increases or something

Exporting All Contact Data

Hi All. So I have about 350+ contacts through Whatsapp. In there, are the following custom fields. Full Name, Phone (some left this blank- but its whatsapp so its there), email, image upload and State. How can I export all of this information to a google sheet and include the phone number of the contact? I have tried the tag & sequence method but the phone number isn’t coming over.

A.I Steps Randomly stopped working

Setup an A.I automation step yesterday. Worked well all night , this morning I woke up and its been broken for 2 hours now. Same automation step works when connecting to a different IG account. Any ideas?

Hi, I have created an internal chatbot using CustomGPT and WhatsApp. My problem is that when there is a line break in the “last text input” (the last message on WhatsApp), ManyChat cannot send the request via the API. I don’t know why. It seems that line breaks are not supported, and there is no way to bypass this issue. There is also no way to modify a custom user field to remove the line breaks ?

Instagram automation only answers some mesagges

My instagram automated response only answers some of the messages and only does it every now and then, i check the triggers and its fine, refreshed the permissions and nothing seems to work. It was working fine until the start of the month. Can someone tell what can i do?

People not seeing message

Anybody else keep getting DM’s from people that they aren’t seeing your message on their end even though you can see on your end??? I thought it was maybe because the person doesn’t follow me but I’m seeing it for people who follow me and people that don’t! What’s the deal?
