General Q&A

My client asked me a messy request, fine. So I need to duplicate an automation and I already know about the option.But duplicating an automation only creates an empty shell! I have two dozen bubbles/cards/whatever and only the trigger and first bubble appear in the “duplicate”. This needs to be fixed!

As the title says, im unable to remove telegram bot from account. I have admin role (not owner), but the “remove” button isnt there for me. Then i created a second account, added a telegram bot and the button to remove does show up, but in the account i need to remove its just not showing. Me or even the person who created the connection cant see the button (we both have Admin role). What can I do? I need to solve this problem please help.

I couldnot remove Telegram bot on manychat, there isnot ant buttons to remove, how can I do it?

Hi manychat communityI am having an issue with some of my flows where the public reply to comments is not appearing. The setup is shown below so it should work on all posts after they comment either Timing or Pluto. I have 3 posts in total where I want this flow to work on. All of them mention the CTA of “Timing” in the video and are getting replies:For example in video one it seems to work fine: In Videos 2 and 3 however it seems to not be responding. Any reason why this is the case?   

Hi,I have setup manychat autmation ‘Auto-DM from Comments’ for a reel and it works perfectly fine. However, the automation doesn’t work at all when the reel is boosted. How to fix this?P.S. I noted that meta creates a different reel ID for the boosted reel and perhaps that’s why manychat is unable to apply automation to it.. but at the same time, in Manychat’s documentation, it is written that it does work for boosted content. 

If I only create the ad on Facebook and Instagram, does the automation work for the comments on the post, or do I have to create the post on Facebook and Instagram and then create the ad for the post?

Good evening. I'd just like to know specifically what the consequences of the "Delete WhatsApp account from ManyChat" button are. I've received support information and research, but nothing is conclusive or straightforward.I need to know if:Selecting this button will erase the ManyChat message history and contacts, and free up this number for use in any other meta developers app. I say this because I need to free up this number, but I want to have the history and contacts saved in ManyChat so I can still consult them when needed.

I’m building a system in ManyChat where multiple live agents share conversations, but each agent can only handle one active chat at a time. Instead of relying on math operations or agents manually flipping their status, I’m using global bot fields as “slots” — for example, A_Slot_Free, B_Slot_Free, C_Slot_Free. When a user asks to talk to a human, the bot checks which slot is available, assigns the chat to that agent, and flips the slot to “false” so nobody else gets routed there. When the conversation ends or escalates, the bot flips the slot back to “true,” making the agent available again. Since I don’t have enough resource to purchase the inbox subscription, is there other way to solve this predicament.

HiWe just created an IG automation to send a link to a file (hosted on Dropbox) if anyone replies to a post with a trigger word. It works in that the reply DM is sent, but clicking on the button brings up a screen that has the “Redirecting” message, and nothing more happens. The bottom of the screen says “You’re being redirected to … [url of file]” so I can click on the URL to get to the file, but … shouldn’t the “Redirecting” screen actually go away at some point and redirect itself?Thanks!

Hello,I am from Iran and I am trying to activate the Trillion / VIP plan. However, I receive an error saying that my card is not accepted (I only have Iranian bank cards).Could you please let me know what payment options are available for users in Iran? Do you offer local resellers, vouchers, or any alternative methods of payment that I can use to activate my subscription? Thank you very much for your support. Best regards,Koohyar.rice 

Hi guys, How to get coupon?

I'm experiencing instabilities in the live chat and don't know where to ask for quick support.On the status page https://status.manychat.com/ there's a button to report a problem, but it takes you to a page for asking questions.I need to know where to report a problem where we need quick solutions. Like me, many people use Manychat for support on WhatsApp and other channels. If it's down or unstable, we lose our support flow.I'd appreciate it if you could check and let me know where I can quickly report a problem.Thank you.

I’ve searched posts on here and have not found the issue I am experiencing.   I have a trigger set up to send a reply as private with a button to press that gives permission to continue.  I’m using an Android phone to test.  I comment on an IG account with the trigger word.  The message comes back to my DM displaying the button just fine.  Pressing the button just echoes back and does not continue the automation.  I have tried with a direct button and as a quick reply.  I’ve gone through all the troubleshooting, permissions, refreshing connections, removing MC and re-adding.   

Como atribuir automaticamente ao primeiro atendente que adicionar a tag a um cliente? hoje eu tenho essa automação em anexo porém a conversa acaba sendo atribuída a segunda pessoa que adiciona a tag muita das vezes acontece isso  

Hey everyone! 👋I’m totally new to this world and spent the last few days building an automation in Manychat using a webhook to Make, so that I can send messages into a Telegram group.Quick backstory:We run a thrift shop, and whenever we post new stock on Instagram Stories, people either reply to reserve items or order directly for delivery. My idea was to create a chatbot that gets triggered when someone replies to a story → collects their info → and then sends it into our team’s Telegram group, so we can confirm whether the item is available or not.I almost have it working, but here’s the problem: when the requests show up in Telegram, there’s no way to tell which story/item the person is actually talking about. Ideally, I’d love to include the picture from the original Insta story in the Telegram message, so our team can instantly see what item the request is about.I’ve already spent hours trying (chatgpt, tutorials, videos, etc.), and I feel like I’m really close but also about to

I have about 12,100 active contacts and 8,879 inactive contacts in my ManyChat account (screenshot attached). But when I go to send a broadcast, it only lets me reach 73 people.I’m confused — what’s the real difference between active vs inactive contacts, and how do I make sure my messages go out to all of my contacts instead of just a small fraction?Do I need to re-engage my inactive contacts, change settings, or is there a platform limitation I’m missing? Any guidance would be much appreciated!  

My goal is to ask the client a few questions and, depending on their answers, continue the conversation. If the client agrees to receive a gift, I want to deliver it, and if not, I want to end the conversation. Can I set up the AI bot to read the client’s messages and automatically assign the appropriate values to fields (attributes) based on their responses?

PLEASE HELP!  I’m working on a Google Sheet integration with ManyChat where I want to collect a user input in ManyChat, compare it with a particular lookup column in the sheet, and return a value from another column in the sheet if the input IS EXACTLY SAME, OR ALMOST CLOSE to any value in the lookup column. The ‘exactly same’ part works smoothly but I also want it to check for the closest results (to cater to typing errors or incomplete inputs) as the input and lookup data is supposed to be a multiple words input. Now for the sake of my life, I can’t figure out a way to check for similar values and return the closest one - I’ve tried the integration via zapier with its filters and formatter, but even though the logic looks correct, it still only works for the ‘exactly same’ input. I even tried it within Google sheets by using accurate formulas to insert the input in a cell and then compare it with the lookup column (all within the sheet) but that still doesn’t work. I’m now thinking t

Hi! I have some colleagues who have this option to send automatic messages to new followers.It doesn't appear in my account.. Can anyone help me?  

Os leads que estão inscritos na notificação não estão recebendo mensagens via broadcasting fora da janela de 24 horas.Isso começou ontem, 02/10, envio um broadcasting por dia para os leads que estão ativo no notificação, nunca deu problema.E isso não está acontecendo só com um tópico da uma notificação, todas as notificações criadas e com leads ativos não estão recebendo broadcasting fora da janela de 24 horas, tornando a notificação inútil.Também está acontecendo em outros manychat que tenho, mesmo que seja de outro perfil do facebook.No facebook não recebi nenhum aviso e na parte de status tanto da conta e da página está sem nenhuma restrição ativa.Alguém mais está passando pelo mesmo problema? Alguém sabe como resolve?  

Hello,Could someone please share screenshots of the process for sending a WhatsApp template via LiveChat? The official ManyChat article only includes one screenshot, which just shows an icon in the text area.I would like to see the following steps: How to find and select a specific template. What the template looks like when selected (including the attachment in header, variables, and buttons, if possible). How to customize the template (e.g., adding attachments and filling in variable values). How the sent template appears in the chat. Thank you in advance for your help!

so I want to have a clear vision on the contacts in manychat because every time you have a dm it should save as contact but i tried sending some manual dm to check that out and I see that is at 0.I know manychat charge per contacts per month and that every DM coming in should be a new contact automatically is that only from paid plan or even is it only from the automation when a dm comes and start with the automation?

I have an auto DM set up for a specific post of mine. It says “Comment the word pool” and i created the flow from scratch. It was working when I first tested it but, not it is not sending. I believe it can be due to two reasons:  I ran an IG boost on that post and it got denied so Meta is blocking auto Dm’s   I have been commenting TOO much from my test account Screenshots of automation are attached.  

Help me solve this issue. After successfully signing up for ManyChat through a browser on my phone, I linked my Instagram account, created a command, and tested it successfully. Then, I logged in from another browser on my laptop and connected it with a Google (Gmail) account. I was able to access both my Facebook and Instagram accounts (with permissions granted to ManyChat). However, I can’t get past the “permission sent” screen on the laptop browser, and now on my phone I get this message when I try to log into Instagram through ManyChat (the same account I tested before, which was working). I need help understanding what is happening that’s preventing me from continuing to use ManyChat for Instagram automation.

For some reason, it’s not working when people are clicking send me the link? Is there something wrong with my flow?I tried using the AUTO-DM links when replying to comments and that didn’t work either? Thanks!
