General Q&A

I notice when I set up dm automation for comments on the next post they won’t send dm. Even after confirmation it works I have no way to mass or auto dm all the people that requested links in the comments.

This is not working, I cannot see the preview. Am I doing something wrong ? 

Is it possible to schedule Messenger broadcast via some external tool/interface that will allow us to automate or do scheduling in bulk? Manual interface is not very effective

Since June 13, 2025, we’ve experienced a significant influx of unmessagable accounts. Users clicking the “Send Message” CTA in our Meta ads are 100% unmessageable, likely due to Instagram’s privacy settings routing messages to “Message Requests” or blocking them for non-followers. This is affecting multiple meta ad campaigns (e.g., Ad 1: 27/27 unmessageable, Ad 2: 38/43 unmessageable).Post-troubleshooting, 40 recent ad clicks still resulted in unmessageable users. In weeks prior, we were getting a mix of accounts we can message and accounts that we could not. Currently they are all 100% unmessageable. This discrepancy is evident in our data: Meta Ads Manager shows fewer messaging conversations from June 13–16 than recent weeks and suggesting the flow isn’t triggering correctly for ad clicks. Steps Taken: Verified Instagram is a Business account with “Allow access to messages” enabled (Settings > Messages and Story Replies > Connected Tools). Refreshed Instagram permissions in M

Hey everyone,we’re struggling a little with our Instagram & ManyChat integration – and really hoping someone here can help or share a similar experience.We switched our Instagram account to Private a while ago, but only for a few days, like 3-4 Days. We immediately switched the account back to Public, and it’s currently in Creator mode. Ever since then, none of our ManyChat flows have triggered anymore – not a single one.Here’s everything we’ve already tried: Refreshed Instagram Permissions inside ManyChat Removed the Instagram account completely from ManyChat and reconnected it Reconnected the Instagram Channel in ManyChat multiple times Reauthorized Business Integrations in Facebook (removed and added ManyChat again) Built new test flows from scratch with, tried different triggers (Comment, DM, etc.) in both Simple and Advanced mode Deleted and rebuilt multiple flows Made sure all flows are published and visible Tested with 3–4 different Instagram accounts (friends/

Hi there,I would like to know if it is possible to move custom fields freely in ManyChat.For example, I have 5 custom fields in the following order:A B C D EI would like to move E from position 5 to position 1, so the order becomes:E A B C DI would appreciate any information or guidance you can provide on this matter.Thank you in advance for your help.

We are using Manychat for Meta-ads on Instagram. Is there a way to generate a report of what automations are performing better so we can adjust our strategy?  

I would like to send photos and videos straight from the Photo App in iphone, as you can do for whatsapp or many other apps. This is important because I have many payment receipts I have to send to my clients. With Whatsapp, I could send it easily, but through manychat I have to download it, open the app, find it on my phone files and then send it. Is there a way I can add Mnaychat shortcut there?

 After a user subscribes a coaching service on Manychat/Whatsapp, I want to send him a flow for asking few things and add this data to1) Manychat user field2) Gsheet.What about location?I mean what happens IE if 1 user type Rome, and another one ROMA and a third one RM?How can I filter them in Gsheet and trigger an action FOR PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN ROME ONLY if Rome, ROMA and RM are all different?Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,I really hope someone can help me quickly – this is urgent.I’m using ManyChat with Instagram and I’ve set up a comment trigger to send a lead magnet. Everything worked perfectly until yesterday. Now, users still receive the first message after commenting, but the button they are supposed to click (to confirm and receive the lead magnet) is either: not showing at all or showing but not clickable As a result, users can’t opt in and don’t get the link to my lead magnet anymore. This is a major problem because my funnel relies on this automation.Here’s what I’ve already done: Reconnected Instagram in the ManyChat settings Checked all permissions in Facebook Business Integrations – everything is granted Rebuilt the flow to test different button types (standard, URL, even quick replies) Set up keyword-based fallbacks (e.g. user types "YES") – but still, buttons are often not displayed Tested with different accounts and devices Checked Flow Logs – no clear error messag

Found out that instagram quick replies in automations doesn’t seem to work when user is on their desktop using the website, only seems to work on app. is there any work around for this to make it appear on the website as well?

Hi everyone,I believe ManyChat recently changed the way it sends custom fields to WhatsApp templates, and it’s causing issues with line breaks.Previously, we had automations that generated lists via a script, populating a custom field with this format:Item 1\nItem 2\nItem 3 This worked perfectly, and the WhatsApp message displayed like this:Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 For messages sent within 24 hours (non-templates), we’ve found that using regular line breaks (hitting “return”) works fine. However, the syntax for templates (using \n for line breaks) stopped working recently—within the last few days.Importantly, we didn’t change anything on our end, and it was working just fine before.Here’s what support shared when I flagged this issue:The messages are generating this error:"status_code": 400, "response": "{\"error\":{\"message\":\"(#100) Invalid parameter\",\"type\":\"OAuthException\",\"code\":100,\"error_data\":{\"messaging_product\":\"whatsapp\",\"details\":\"Param text cannot have new-li

Hello, I had purchased a one-month subscription which has now ended, and I want to renew it.However, the system is showing a high price and also showing that I have an outstanding balance.During this past month, I used various features of ManyChat such as the AI assistant, live chat, smart messaging, and different automations.Why am I being asked to pay a debt?

I can't bring the tag to google sheets. what can I do?

Is there a way to connect ManyChat's integrated WhatsApp API when creating a Facebook ad? So that messages from the ad reach that WhatsApp API?
