People are not clicking on the 'Get Started' button - what to do?

Hi ​@rodrigo_silvano - I am finding that people are not clicking on the “Get Started” button and I don’t want to add another button to create the tagging so that I can create the delay and follow-up. Is there any other way around that?

Setting up conditional automation

Hello, i am trying to set up a auto-dm reply once someone comments on a post and it sends different DMs based on whether someone comments 🥵 or 🥶 but it’s not feasible on the quick automation. I have to setup a new sequence but i can’t find the way to set up conditions, need help!

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)?

Bulk Agents assignment

How can I change the assigned agent and the agent who receives notifications across different automations at once, instead of going manually into each automation and changing it? In our team, we have a different agent in charge of monitoring WhatsApp messages each day, and I currently have to update all the automations manually. Is there a way to change it for all automations at once?

troubleshooting

hi When a brand‑new WhatsApp contact triggers our automation by sending a massage throught a url , the system sends the intended first message and immediately follows it with an unsolicited message that contains only the character “0”. This extra “0” is not configured anywhere in our flow and does not appear for contacts who have already chatted with us before.

Automation Issue - 2nd button opening threads??

Hi all - I created an automation that is having an issue. The second button sent [after someone clicks the ‘Send me the link’ button] opens Threads and prompts to download Threads instead of the link I plugged in to a landing page. Is this happening anyone else? How do I fix this??

Auto-DM from Comment is Not working

I have two separate PRO accounts on Manychat. One account is working fine, but the other is not registering any of the comment to DM automations-- whether they’re my older ones that use to work or new automations I’ve just created.I’ve refreshed my account connection and received confirmation from Manychat that it has been connected properly, but the automations still don’t work. It’s unfortunate because I use this for business and I’m receiving hundreds of comments, but none of them are receiving the link. The contact list is still under the 2,000 mark too. Can anyone help me?? Thank you!

Modo coexistência do WhastApp sem comunicação

Apesar de estar com todos os status de conexão ok, tanto na gerenciador de whatsapp da meta quando no ManyChat, não recebo mensagens no batepapo ao vivo. E ontem programei alguns disparos e não foi nenhum. Parece ter sido enviado mostra que foi, mas não houve cobrança e nem disparos. Alguém já passou por isso?

PLEASE HELP - AI Step does not save system fields or custom fields.

We have an AI Step configuration that requests data to schedule an appointment. This data is then sent to Zapier. It was working fine until around July 6, 2025. After that, it no longer saves the data provided by the user—only one field at the end of the conversation is saved, and it's saved incorrectly. We haven't made any changes to the flow in months, so we know we didn’t cause the issue. Why was it working without problems and now it’s not? What changed? Can someone please help us? The user provides their phone number, but it doesn’t get registered, nor does the email.AI Step GoalStep configuration — it always worked until around July 6, 2025.Step configuration — it always worked until around July 6, 2025.When the data is sent to Zapier and then to Excel, the fields used to come through complete. Now they don’t. See image:Email, Phone, and Topic no longer arrive—only Name.

Limiting The Response Rate

I got restricted by Instagram for 6 days because I went viral and too many ManyChat responses were deployed in a short time. Is there a way to limit the response rate to stay in the parameters? I appreciate your help!

Syncing contact information with active campaign

I know how to collect emails through ManyChat and link them to Active Campain. However, I can't figure out how to associate the First Name and Last Name data that I've collected with those fields in the record in Active Campaign. Is there a way to do this without having to rely on a third pary like Zapier?Thank you.

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?

How to add a step to a live automation?

I have an automation that’s live. The automation collects people’s email addresses. I want to add a step to the automation where the email addresses get passed on to my klaviyo account (I’ve already successfully set up the klaviyo-manychat integration). But I don’t see anywhere to add a step. Can this only be done before an automation is live? Everything I read says you should be able to add a step to a live integration, so I don’t understand why Manychat is not displaying the option for me to add a step.

Run AI Chatbot when someone write message during automation flow.

Hey ManyChat community,I’ve set up an automation that asks a few questions when a new contact is created, using WhatsApp messages with reply buttons.I’m wondering, would it be possible to activate a chatbot when someone sends a message or asks a question, instead of relying on the predefined reply buttons in the WhatsApp messages?Thanks in advance for your help!
