General Q&A

Hi everyne, Spent Sunday evening creating account and setting up telegram bot flow and other automations. End of night got blocked and can not log in for whatever reason.  I've sent a support ticket to the team by filling out the form same Sunday Night (March 29th, 9:30pm EST) - No reply from anyone for almost 48hrs now. Is that normal? Can’t even check the status of the ticket as it’s asking to log in and I can’t log in with that account whatsoever as access is denied. 

For me can not log in {"0":"Access denied","state":true} and my ticket number [#475916], created ticket almost 2days, still no response from manychat. What type of service is this. Wasting time and looking for mail. Paid for pro, now looking for mail not doing my job

I want to share a frustration that has been building over the past few months while using ManyChat for WhatsApp conversations.The main issue is that ManyChat’s tracking does not show the source of each conversation. This makes it very difficult to understand where interactions are actually coming from. Even when I use quick replies within ads and connect them to keyword-based flows, the platform still doesn’t indicate whether the user entered through a specific ad or campaign. That lack of visibility is a serious limitation.I’ve also tried using CTWA, but some messages randomly fail to enter the flow, which makes things even more unreliable.I’ve seen multiple discussions about this in the community, but no clear or consistent solution so far.As a bit of a last attempt, has anyone found a reliable workaround or a solution that actually works?

Hello community:I want to address an important issue that has been a source of significant frustration over the past few months while using ManyChat to manage WhatsApp conversations.The Current ContextWith Meta's recent changes in managing advertising campaigns, it's now essential to create as many creatives as possible to feed the algorithm. This allows the system to determine which pieces are most relevant to users, generating better results and more conversations.The Main ProblemI've discovered that message tracking through ManyChat does not include information about the conversation's origin. For example: when I configure quick replies within an ad and register them as keywords that trigger specific flows, the system doesn't identify whether the user came from an advertisement or ad campaign.Technical LimitationsTo address this, I'm forced to use

Hey everyone, I've been dealing with a frustrating issue for about a month now and can't figure out if it's a bug or something on my end.**Setup:**- WhatsApp Business via Manychat (PRO)- Click-to-WhatsApp (CTWA) ads running on Meta- Automation trigger: CTWA click from a specific ad + keyword "contains" trigger as backup- Everything is connected, live, and was working perfectly for months**The problem:**Some leads click the ad, message us, write the exact keyword — and the automation simply doesn't fire. No flow assigned, no tag applied, nothing. But the contact DOES appear in Manychat's contact list.**Key details:**- Contacts show up in Manychat with NO tags and NO flow history- Always new contacts (not re-engaging old ones)- Happens across multiple different ads, not just one- Started ~1 month ago with no changes on my end- Meta shows more ad clicks/conversations initiated than Manychat shows flow acti

Currently for the CAPI to work properly, we need to ad CTWA trigger for every single ad we use on our campaigns. This is simply not sustaible at scale, what happen when we use dozens of ads per campaign, adding more variations and angles every day or week.I’ve seen in other competitors that this is not the case, CAPI works just fine with leads coming from ads. Having no need to add a CTWA trigger to get workflow working as expected.Please, we need ASAP. It’s vital in the new age of Meta Ads.

Hello. I was trying to start an automation to welcome new followers and it keeps giving me an update instagram permissions message. I refreshed permissions but it didn’t help. Anyone know why? Thanks!! 

Hello… Total newbie to ManyChat. I am using the free trial for now with plans to upgrade to Pro once I understand how to do certain tasks. Here is what I need help with and have no idea how to set this up. On particular IG posts, in the description, I will be asking users to Comment “Wine” in order to receive a Free PDF guide. In addition, I will be telling them to follow me on Instagram first, so I can DM them.  IG won't deliver the DM if they are not  following. Once the users follow my page, ManyChat will automatically respond to these comments with a line that says something like, “Sending over my Free Guide now. Please check your DM”ManyChat will then send a DM to each of these users….Thanks for requesting the free PDF guide! (the PDF guide will be attached) I would then take over, and personally DM the next day with an upsell to receive the full PDF guide. What is the proper way to set this up? Thanks, Steve 

In ManyChat, tags are often used to track user behavior and prevent users from re-entering the same automation flow multiple times (for example, avoiding sending the same onboarding sequence to someone who has already completed it).What are the advantages and disadvantages of using tags as a control mechanism to prevent automation from triggering again for users who have already interacted with a flow?  Are there better alternatives or complementary strategies (such as custom fields, conditions, or event tracking) that can provide more reliable or scalable control?

I’ve set up a meta ad. The flow should be: user clicks ad → they are sent to instagram DM and the manychat flow starts. What’s happening: user clicks ad → instagram opens a modal that says send a message.Here’s a video of the issue: https://file.notion.so/f/f/31fdd5f5-8374-42fc-abfb-f613bc738670/d33ae1d4-e6fe-4909-8d23-461212928191/RecordIt-1774921114.mp4?table=block&id=3342c2bf-5c79-806d-aa9c-ffeb42282d78&spaceId=31fdd5f5-8374-42fc-abfb-f613bc738670&expirationTimestamp=1775073600000&signature=NwRsdUUn8gc4hUM7RKWPtS2m6BpemOga17f3

Hi, my question is this: I started a new automation from scratch. I'm trying to set it up so that Claude is having conversations with people who follow me up until they schedule the call, and I'm having an issue. I created a Claude trigger, and nothing worked. Can somebody help me with this automation?  I know I'm missing a step, but I have not been able to figure out how to do this properly. 

Is there a trigger on tik tok for when someone follows you?

Hello,J’ai un problème avec l’automatisation des commentaires Instagram.Tout est correctement configuré de mon côté :L’automatisation est en LIVE et le trigger est activé Les mots-clés sont bien configurés Mon compte Instagram est connecté Les permissions sont bien activées La page Facebook est bien liée J’ai déjà contacté le support mais aucune réponse en 2 semaine Mais rien ne se déclenche :Aucun DM envoyé Aucune réponse en commentaire Aucune réaction quand quelqu’un commenteJ’ai testé avec plusieurs comptes externes, et même avec une automatisation très simple (1 mot-clé → 1 message), et ça ne fonctionne toujours pas.J’ai l’impression que ManyChat ne reçoit pas les événements de commentaires Instagram.Est-ce que quelqu’un a déjà eu ce problème ou sait comment le résoudre ?je vous mets mon automatisation : 

Hi fellows, I have found that the Next Step after AI Step never gets fired. I have read the documentation about it but it doesnt explain about the next step after AI Step. In my case, People are engaging and chatting with AI perfectly fine but at the end of each message from AI, the person should get a link or button to continue to next step or start another automation. I have tried asking the AI Step in GOAL and in CONTEXT to continue to next step but it does not. I have even tried asking the AI Step to do this by adding a separate task and it did not work. Check attached screenshots. Is there any workaround to this? Note that I have also tried asking AI Step to send a button to the reader; on clicking this button, the reader should get redirected to my Automation but the AI Step generated a button that redirected to a phone number 000000000 and tried to start a new chat. Which also does not help. 

I’ve set up the automation, filling in all the suggested inputs. When I test it, it only sends the first one and doesn’t give the user the button to click, or anything past that. So I don’t actually get to send the link. I’ve tried several times and it’s always the same issue. And I can’t find the link to contact support. Can anyone help?

I am not able to login my main account which is connected with my instagram and now i cannot create new account because it says that my instagram connected with some other account for which I have to login from that and disconnect which I cannot.

This morning I was able to edit a ManyChat automation, and an hour later I received an email saying that my subscription had expired because apparently the last payment couldn't be processed. But that's not true—all payments are in order, my account is fully funded, and I still have 5 days left on my subscription.At the same time, I can no longer log in to ManyChat; I get the following error:{“0”:“Access denied”,“state”:true}What happened? Was I banned?

Brand new (mostly) to ManyChat. Tried to connect client’s Facebook via Messenger. Clicked the WRONG profile, and imported the wrong business. Now my free contact limit has been maxed and there’s no way to fix that?That feels like something ManyChat should be able to help with. Very frustrating.

Hi everyone! 👋I’m currently working on setting up my flow in ManyChat and could use some help.Right now, I’m trying to figure out how to properly add a “Back to Main Menu” button after sending a video link. The goal is that once a user watches or receives the video, they can easily navigate back to the main menu without getting stuck or restarting the conversation manually.If anyone has experience with this or can guide me on the best way to set it up (flows, actions, or smart delays), I’d really appreciate your help!Thanks in advance 🙏 

We currently have it set up like this But it gets sent like this
