Hi community members, Please suggest the best ways to integrate Shopify and ManyChat. Since Messenger and Instagram have 24 hour window; does the flows like abandon cart flows will actually work?What are the possibilities of the Shopify + ManyChat integration?Thanks,Sajith

Good day,I remember ManyChat used to have a affiliation program before where if you make anyone join ManyChat or you are admin of any account you get 30%.  So now I would like to make people join but I cannot find any link, it is showing different links where the client will get discount but I am not getting any commission.Is there any way where I sent link to my client and as he join I start earning commission monthly. Please guide. Thank you for answering. Regards,

Has anyone else noticed that the “delete” option in the bulk actions is missing? We like to keep our contact list clean and up until this week, we were able select multiple contacts and bulk delete.  That option is missing now. Thanks in advance for any tips on this!

I need help to connect my instagram to manychat it says connected but i am stuck please me i want to grow it proffessionaly  

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? How can I control the Live Chat notifications? Sometimes I receive notifications, and sometimes I don’t. Sometimes the conversation is only in an automated flow and I still receive Live Chat notifications — and sometimes I don’t. How can I manage and control this behavior? Are there any reminder options in ManyChat that I can use to remind agents to follow up on conversations?

I’m doing an connection between my Landing Page and Manychat to create the contacts and starts a flow with it. The problem is: I can create the user with the endpoint: /fb/subscriber/createSubscriber, but if the contact is already in my manychat contacts base i can’t get a response from manychat that gives the subscriber id.Doing a get request by number like this: https://api.manychat.com/fb/subscriber/findBySystemField?phone={{phone_number}} it does’nt return any data about the user, even in the test on: https://api.manychat.com/swagger#/

ManyChat is probably the single-most hated thing I have to deal with being a content creator.  I don’t know how ya’ll figure this out.  I have a large following and the amount of missed DM’s and misfirings is embarrassing.  Trying to find answers on community boards has been time consuming and frustrating.   I’m just deleting it altogether unless I can chat with someone from ManyChat about how to set things up properly.  I’ve had ManyChat for a few years and no matter what I do, or how many times I refresh permissions, or how many times I connect and reconnect my profile, it still gives me SO MUCH grief.  I’m at a complete loss, ManyChat, for the love of God get a support center. 

Please add a way to send clients dms whenever they comment a certain word please can it be possible?

I am currently using Manychat primarily for a single purpose — to set up a trigger that sends an automated reply when someone messages my Facebook Messenger. At the moment, I am on a Marketing Automation plan that costs $25 USD per month.Since I am not utilizing any additional features beyond this basic auto-reply function, I would like to ask for your advice on how I can reduce my subscription cost, or if there is a more suitable plan that meets my limited usage.I would appreciate your guidance on how to proceed so that I am not paying more than necessary for features I do not use.Thank you very much for your assistance.

I use Manychat for automated DMS only, i dont need or require to have a repository of my previous contacts, and im getting charged wayy too much money because i now have 5k+ contacts, I got charged $80+…. For my use case where i only need automated dms, is there a way to reduce the amount of subscribtion im paying? 

Hi! We created a chatbot about a couple of years ago, when there was a free subscription if you pay with a Ukrainian card. Then, a year later, it was extended again. Is there now an opportunity to extend the tariff from the card of Ukraine for free, or is this service no longer available?

I am beyond frustrated.   Customer Support is horrific.  I have been waiting for over 6y weeks for a sup[port issue to be resolved.  About every 10 days someone responds - they clearly do not understand the issue and provide AI answers.    HOW DO YOU GET HELP????????

Explico el problema.- Quiero evitar que me de error una automatización por culpa que un usuario introduzca datos que ManyChat no acepta y ManyChat me pause la automatización y deje de funcionar para el resto de usuarios.- En ocasiones me encuentro que algún usuario se vuelve a registrar de nuevo en mi web, eso provoca que vuelva a lanzarle la función CreateSubscriber de ManyChat.- En mi cuenta de ManyChat sólo puedo guardar el Whatsapp ID (Teléfono de Whatsapp), pero no el Teléfono.- He creado una campo personalizado "phone_cliente" (field_id=13170369) donde guardo el teléfono del cliente.- Desde Make hago que el teléfono tenga que incluir un 34 delante pero pueden seguir colándose errores como un teléfono inventado...- Desde Make el siguiente paso era hacer un HTTP Make a request GET donde utilizo la URl https://api.manychat.com/fb/subscriber/findByCustomField?field_id=13170369&field_value=[Teléfono] y busco a ver si lo encuentra- El problema que me encuentro es que he estado haci

Please how to do I check the status of my ticket on my account?

I have just signed up with the free plan to test manychat. I sent a message to the linked whatsapp number. I can see the message in the live chat tab (area) but I cannot reply. It keeps giving me an error message to activate pro as marketing pro subscription is required to perform this automation. If I cannot live chat in free, what can I do?

 Hello 👋 I want to create an automation that works like this:Trigger: Someone mentions or tags our business account (@business) in a comment on another person's or business's Instagram post Detection: Manychat detects this mention/tag even though it happened outside our own posts Action: Automatically send a DM to the person who tagged us Message : Thank them for the mention and potentially start a conversation flow Reply in the comment section: Thanks for mention and tell that we have DM themHas anyone successfully set up something similar? /Rasmus

I cant do it on zapier.

Hello, I’m just getting started with manychat on my instagram page.  I’ve been observing that the opening DM with the link (“send me the link”) doesn’t work on desktop instagram apps. Only mobile.  Clicking that link in the desktop app only refreshes the chat page, without advancing to the next step of the automation.  Can anyone confirm if this is normal behaviour?  Any suggestions to fix it?(if you want to test it you can comment on the reel at https://instagram.com/theprocomposer)Thank you!Robbie 

I did a lead magnet on instagram and got a lot of emails to my direct messages, too many to copy and paste to a spreadsheet. When I am in contacts I can see the emails if I go into each contact, but how do I export the emails all at once so I don’t have to copy and paste them over to my CRM? 

ManyChat is replying to the wrong posts. For example, I posted a reel today, and whenever someone commented, it replied with an automated “Sent to your DM’s!” message. The problem is that I did not set any automations up for this new post, and none of the words in the comments made by followers were keywords attached to any automation I had created. Is there a way to troubleshoot this?
