General Q&A

Does Manychat offer an SMS opt in solution similar to hitide?Basically you ask the prospect for a phone number, a message is sent with SMS opt in legalese, and then they are added to your 3rd party SMS list.

I'm looking for a comprehensive learning resource that covers everything from the basics to advanced topics. I've already watched all the video lectures on the ManyChat YouTube channel and completed the free course available on the ManyChat website. I've gained a lot from these resources.Now, I'm seeking guidance on more advanced topics, such as how to effectively engage with clients, the prerequisites for offering ManyChat services to clients, how to advise clients on chatbot development costs and monthly subscription fees, and any other information that would demonstrate my thorough understanding of ManyChat and my ability to meet client needs.Could you please provide recommendations or a step-by-step guide on these topics? I would greatly appreciate your assistance.

Hello! I am a musician running Instagram ads,  directing people to listen to the songs on Spotify/Apple Music. I recently discovered ManyChat, and want to automate messages to anyone who clicks the link / interacts with the existing ads I am running. I have been trying to figure out how to get the automated messages to send to anyone who interacts with the existing ads, but I am having a lot of trouble - it seems like ManyChat only allows me to create new ads, and cannot send messages triggered by these already existing ads? But that cannot be true lol, would really appreciate any help!

Newbie question here.Like the title says, can you create an automation for an instagram post (reel, main feed, story)If so, can someone please share steps for this scenario? Many thanks!

I’m looking to figure out the following flow potentially - has anyone does this? Scrape a hashtag for hairstylist, barber, hairdresser - etc and then automate a DM from Manychat  for them with a resource (this is a lead gen tatic).  Wasn’t sure if an action has to be completed on their part before ManyChat can fire out a response/DM.  

Hi there. I need to enable users to automatically receive a WhatsApp message when they enter their data on a landing page. I discovered that this was made possible by using Growth Tools. However, since they descontinued the tool, I don't know how to implement this feature now. Can someone help me?

I have an IG account that is up and running automations with ManyChat. But when I try to login via the app on my phone, it only shows me 1 IG account that I used to manage for a client that was never fully setup and I’m not even actively logged into FB with that account. It won’t show me an option to login with any other FB accounts. It just defaults to that one that I never connected.I’ve even deleted the app, restarted my phone, and it still only allows access to the wrong account.Any help would be awesome. 

I’m trying to send a flow to Manychat from a scenario on Make, but when try to use the Manychat module, it shows the following error: [400] Validation error: Subscriber does not exist.I thought that the field “subscriber ID” was my ID on manychat, but if not, I don’t know what it is.

Hello, we have several automations that are working well. But we recently set up a new one with the trigger word “PROFIT”. I can see that I’m getting comments on my IG posts but they aren’t showing. I tested it from another account and when I test the other automations, they’re working, but when I test PROFIT on the corresponding posts, my comment doesn’t show and no automation is triggered. What’s happening? 

Dear ManyChat Development Team,I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out for assistance regarding an issue we've encountered within our ManyChat automation.We have a pre-assembled sales funnel sequence set up in ManyChat, which sends a series of text messages and banners to clients after they register on our webinar landing page. The registration process redirects clients to Telegram, and as per our ManyChat automation, corresponding messages are sent out to the client in Telegram. https://manychat.com/fb457509/cms/files/22870555--content20240301122752_062640/editOne of these messages states: "I am sending you the link to join the webinar room," accompanied by a button that should contain the link to the webinar room. However, it has come to our attention that an incorrect link was inserted, leading

Hey guys. I've been trying to set up the auto-comment reply for my running Facebook ads. It keeps giving me the "”Post not found" message. I tried entering Post ID and URL, still not found. I tried it couple of times on separate occasions. I'm running 5 Facebook ads and I get the same message for all. :(I did refresh permission also. I also cannot find the dark post under the promotable post tab. :( It's not my first time to set this up, and it worked fine, but it was for a different Facebook page. I really need to set this up since I'm getting a lot of inquiries per day and I need to redirect the comments to the chatbot flow. What else can I do? Thank you in advance for your help.

Currently, the pro subscription fee was paid on March 5th, so even if I cancel the subscription now, I can use the pro until April 5th, right?
