General Q&A

Good evening everyone,I'm just getting started with ManyChat and I'm having trouble connecting it to my Instagram account. When I click "Connect", it opens a pop-up that should probably take me to Instagram, but instead I get the error: "Sorry, this page isn't available."I'm not sure what to do. My Instagram account doesn't appear in Meta Business Suite because it's linked to a different email. I couldn't find anything helpful in the FAQ either.Thanks in advance for any help! Here's a screenshot of the error:  

Something strange is happening with our ManyChat automations. We have two flows: "Current WhatsApp" and "Not Current WhatsApp."In the image I’m sharing, users are supposed to be entering the "Current" flow, but the options they're being shown belong to the "Not Current" one.However, as you can see in the image, the CTR data appears under the 'Current' flow, and not in the 'Not Current' one.My suspicion is that the initial trigger is somehow redirecting users from the first step into the 'Not Current' flow, though that still wouldn’t fully explain the CTR numbers.We’re still quite new to ManyChat, and the base setup was actually built by an external developer, so we’re now trying to understand and audit what they did. Any idea what might be causing this? Note: “Whatsappp copy” was the previous name of  “current whatsapp”.Thanks in advance 

Hi.I seem to have a problem with my latest automation. I turn it on - and it works… Once. And then it doesn’t - for no apparent reason.It is still live - there seems to be no problems in the backend, and the other automations seems to be working still.Any idea what to do here? 

I have an automation that transfers user between agent (this is to change fast when user wants to talk). So when any agent send any text the automation is paused. But I want that if the user sent a keyword, the automation restart and the flow start to change another agent to talk.Im not finding any option to restart automation :(

Hi everyone,we’re having a tricky issue with our WhatsApp Business setup via Manychat and hope someone from the community can help:  Our WhatsApp display name “Fresh Hotspot” was rejected by Meta. At the same time, we submitted a Facebook Page name change from “Freshvenience Hotspots” to “Fresh Hotspot”, which has now been approved. So now, everything is aligned: our brand, our page (Fresh Hotspot), our website (https://fresh-hotspot.at) – but WhatsApp still shows the old name rejection.  Here’s the problem:  We connected the number via Manychat and can’t edit the name in Meta Business Manager. Meta Support says: the name was rejected by WhatsApp. WhatsApp Support says: they can’t change it and refer us back to Meta.  So we’re stuck in a loop. 😩 ➡️ Question: How can we resubmit the display name “Fresh Hotspot” for review in Manychat or Meta?➡️ Or how can we change the display name without disconnecting the number? Any help or similar experience would be appreciated. Thanks in

Hello,I have spent 2 days trying to set up my ManyChat Flow with Zapier. And no one has responded. Is there a way to contact support directly to help me sort out my issue? 

Hello, I’m trying to find an older post to add automation but I don’t get the option of ‘see more’. As suggested in some of the posts here. I’m on a free plan but I’m assuming that shouldn’t be the reason.  It’s not letting me go beyond posts from a month or two ago.  attaching a pic.

Hi guys, I’m working on AI agent with Manychat + Make and I noticed that when users responds with a reaction or sticker the content of the last input is the same from the last text message. I wonder if there’s a way to ignore when I receive a reaction or sticker from the user. Is there a way to capture this info? Thanks

Hi Manychat community. I have set up an automation to collect emails from Facebook and Instagram from a post. I was able to collect a CSV file with all the emails from Instagram, but I couldn’t do it from Facebook. When I ask for a CSV extract, it gives me a Google sheet file with only numbers. Is there anyone who know how to fix this ? I hope someone can help.  

Bonjour,Je ne comprends pas pourquoi Manychat me demande de passer à la version payante pour activer cette automatisation :Est-ce que j’ai trop de mots clés ou trop de déclencheurs ?Merci pour votre réponse !

Hi everyone!I’m trying to set up an AI chatbot in ManyChat that uses ChatGPT (or DeepSeek) via the official integration, following the instructions from this article:🔗 https://help.manychat.com/hc/en-us/articles/14281251371164-ChatGPT-integrationThe problem is that the workflow doesn’t support multi-turn conversations properly. Here's exactly what I'm trying to achieve and where it's failing:🎯 What I want: ✅ The bot asks the user to type a question ✅ Sends it to ChatGPT (or DeepSeek) and returns the answer ✅ Saves the entire conversation ✅ Repeats this loop until the user types “end” or “stop” ✅ After that, exports the full conversation + user contact info to Google Sheets (or another tool) ❌ The issue:Following the official guide, the bot only responds to one message and then stops.If I try to loop it back to the original question block, it either loses context or breaks the flow.There’s no clear way to combine multi-step Q&A + end conversation + export in a clean and wo
