General Q&A

How do I send multiple product links for one reel. For example I'm featuring 5 products and I want to send out 5 links at a time when someone comments on this post. 

Dear Community,I have a question about the genious setup of smart delay. I do not know how I can have it longer than 24h.There are the options of xx days to, but each time I try to use it, manychat tells me to make it shorter than 24 hours.Is there a hag to solve this problem.Thanks for your answer.Nici

Hey manychat Team, Recently I used the manychat application for the 14 days ago and i used the free trial for the last 14 days, it was good for my Instagram account.And then the free trail session was completed, and i having the 18k contacts from the trail. After that it asked $125 Now I deleted all my contacts, and now also it asks $125 dollar.Can you clear this issue?

Why does uploading vertical videos in ManyChat damage the quality?Manychat support confirmed that it looks pixelated on the mobile Instagram app. However, they also tested it on the desktop version, where it looks fine.This issue occurs only on the Instagram app on mobile devices, and they asked me to create a post in this community to gather votes before they investigate it.I’m sure many of you find this irritating. Shall we vote?

Just trying to set up the most simplest automation “Auto-DM links from comments” but I keep getting “Looks like there’s no connection” and when i click “try again”, a red error message “instagram channel is not active” comes up. Everything is connected! Very frustrating - any help out there would be much appreciated! ;)

Hello, Just started with ManyChats. I am confused with what a “contact” means. If I have my set audience and followers, and they engage in my content and continue to use various “trigger words” for various automation replies, will each time they “trigger” count as a new contact, or do they get stored as a saved contact that does not affect the 500-1000 free contacts you get with the first subscription tier. I can’t seem to find an answer to this in the FAQ. Thank you, Luci 

I have set up an automation where people wil comment on a post to get a DM, how do I then send a follow up message to these people 5-7 days later to see how they found my resource? 

I’d like to run keyword comment automations on 2 IG posts.Can I use the same keyword for both IG posts? will the corresponding UTM link be sent to commentors? Thanks! 

Hey Manychat community, i’m having trouble stopping messages from sending if someone clicks the link multiple times. So with the links, I thought tagging would work to stop this, but it isn’t, so for example, if someone clicks the first link, they get tagged and then a 2nd message 1 minute later. I’m having issues where someone will clicked the 1st link on 3 separate days, and then they got the same message (message #5) 3 separate times. I’m wondering how i can prevent that as people keep coming back to the first guide i send and clicking it. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!  

Why can't I rename an Account once created?  I looked around but can’t find any option to do so not even under Manage Accounts.

Hi.  I need help with the referral link automation. I set up the referral link as my IG bio link. The user is supposed to click the link in bio, which will then send them a DM with a link to sign up for the free ebook i am offering as a lead magnet. However, when the user click the referral link in my IG bio, nothing happens. How can I fix this? Thanks in advance,Jeremie

Good day,I would like to report a problem with automation on my account. Until recently, everything was working fine, but after connecting my Instagram account to my Facebook account, the automation stopped working.Currently, the Facebook account has already been disconnected from Instagram and the automation has been reconfigured, but it still does not work correctly.I kindly ask for help in solving this problem.

Hey guys, I’ve got an issue where I’ve had to create two accounts as can't seem to link the Instagram account at the sane time as the Facebook. When I created my Many Chat account I set up the Insta and got an automation working, but then when I went to link Facebook it asks me to log into Facebook then swaps to a new Many Chat account in which it made me sign up again. Not sure what to do as the Instagram and Facebook are the same brand. Hope that makes sense :-)

Hello, we have received a couple of messages via Whatsapp marked as Unsupported message type, no more information is provided. Can someone help us to tell us what's not supported? any idea to check it out?Thank you

Hi, I created a quiz where you get different recommendations based on your response (I used tags to segment this). I am stuck on the final step. At the end of the quiz, I am trying to have certain response generate based on the users selections. I don’t know how to make the conditions flow so that based on your answer, you get the correct response.Is there a way to link (1) Instagram message to multiple conditions at once? and if not, how do I get this condition flow to work properly? I originally had the conditions stacked vertically, but did not see an option to attached the (1) Instagram message of “Okay you’re all dome” to all the the different conditions to generate the results, so I switched to a horizontal method you see below... 

I have a PRO ManyChat account connected to all my Instagram profiles. Each profile has its own ManyChat account, at the tabs on left side of the website. If I create a Reels post using the "collab" feature between my own profiles, will the automation still work—specifically the comment triggers? Do I need to set up the exact same automation on each ManyChat account of each IG? Here’s my strategy: I want all my posts to be collaborative between 2 or 3 of my profiles. So if the main profile publishes the Reels and the automation works there, will the secondary profile (that accepts the collab) also would works (trigger the comment-based automation)?? My idea is making sure the exact same trigger is active on all profiles and nothing goes wrong. Should I accept the collab first, or can I select the post inside ManyChat before accepting the collab? Thanks for your help!

I want to know that I want to send messages to WhatsApp customers in the same broad. For example, I need to send three messages today with a three-hour interval. Can I make three messages in the same broad? No button is needed. Then is it calculated as one price or one message per price?

Help! How do I place the follow me first auto responder BEFORE my Auto-DM link from comments? 

Hey everyone,I use ManyChat to deliver a free training video whenever someone opts in through my Meta ads.To keep my bill low, I log in every Friday and delete the previous week’s contacts. I don’t need to keep them in ManyChat since I handle all messaging through Instagram and Go High Level.It only takes a minute but I’d love to automate this so I don’t have to think about it.Has anyone set up an automation to automatically delete contacts every couple of days to keep costs down?Would appreciate any insight!

Hi everyone,I'm currently using the free plan of ManyChat and have connected my Instagram account properly.I recently posted a reel on Instagram and set up a Comment to DM automation (consisting of only 1 keyword). The idea is that if someone comments a specific keyword, they should receive a DM automatically. Please refer to the screenshots below:  However, the automation doesn't seem to be working. Here's what I've tried so far: Removed and reconnected my Instagram account Refreshed all permissions in ManyChat Still, nothing works.Also, something strange is happening. When someone comments just the keyword, I can see that the post has more comments (the number increases), but when I check the actual comments, they don’t show up. It looks like there are no comments even though the count has gone up. Please refer to the screenshots below:Can someone help me figure out: Why the automation isn’t triggering? Why the comments are hidden when the keyword is used alone?  Thank you.

I keep getting this message "you have insufficient rights to reload the account" - when I follow the instructions they don't work. I changed browsers, logged out and logged back in - I am the owner of the account - but still not working??

I cant connect my instagram account and i bought the pro subscription. why is this the case as tiktok connected very easily
