How to Stop ManyChat AI Agent from Interrupting Live Conversations

Hi everyone,I hope you're all doing well. I need a quick help.I’ve set up an AI Agent using ManyChat's native AI.The conversation was already open and a real person was chatting with the user, but the AI Agent jumped in just because it recognized a word, not based on user intent.Can anyone tell me how I can prevent the AI Agent from interfering in situations like this?Thank you,Samar Abbas

Duplicate Message Issue When Triggering API in ManyChat Flows Across Sub-Accounts

Hello everyone,We are in the process of setting up automated reminders for our leads using our custom API. While doing this, we’ve encountered an issue: when we trigger our API call within a flow, the message is sent twice to the same lead, even though it should only be sent once.Our ManyChat setup consists of a single main account that contains multiple sub-accounts. Each sub-account uses a different WhatsApp number and has its own flow. However, we’ve noticed something strange: even though these flows are in separate sub-accounts, they all seem to have the same Content ID number. This might be linked to the duplicate message issue, but we’re not sure.We’re trying to understand two main things:Why are duplicate messages being sent when we call our API inside the flow?Why do different flows in different sub-accounts appear to share the same Content ID?If anyone has experienced a similar problem or knows how to resolve this, your guidance would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advanc

I am unable to configure the Goal Conversions API. I followed Manychat's step-by-step instructions to configure it, but every time I enter my Data Set ID and the Token generated by META, it always gives an error saying “Invalid conversion API credentials”. How to solve this problem?

Help with tracking - Meta Ads

Hello everyone, I have the following challenge: we have a reel that was posted organically on Instagram. Here the customer can secure a freebie with a keyword. We have now recycled this reel as an ad. In order not to lose the trust, we have not changed the reel. Now the people who become aware of the reel via the ad also have the chance to secure the freebie with the keyword. How can I use Manychat to give organic customers the UTM parameter with source=organic and the customer who became aware of me via the ad the UTM parameter source=paid?

Can’t connect my Instagram & Facebook account to ManyChat – integration seems broken

I’ve been trying to connect my Instagram and Facebook account to ManyChat, but the platform simply won’t link properly.Although ManyChat appears as a connected app in both Facebook and Instagram settings, the account doesn’t fully connect — I can’t access the automation setup screen, and the system behaves as if there’s no connection.I’ve already gone through all the available troubleshooting steps (clearing cache, switching browsers, checking permissions, reconnecting pages, logging out and back in, etc.), but nothing has worked.The Facebook Page and Instagram profile were never connected to any other ManyChat account in the past.Can you please investigate and help me finally complete the connection?

My business is a service type. How to maximize the Buy Button?

Hi! I’m running a luggage storage business, and I want customers to transact via the chatbot for the entirety. However the buy button seems to be designed for retail kind of transaction. Is there a way to make it for a service type? Like if a customer wants to store a luggaged sized A by x quantity in y days?

Issue Exporting Contacts to Google Sheet

Hi Everyone, I’ve some automations in my Social Media to deliver content when people comment to my posts or stories. But I wanted to start collect peoples contact to a Google Sheet and added a step for that. What I’ve noticed is that after running some of my automations a lot of time, my Google Sheet has only 1 contact and only the first and last name.The data I’m collecting:Frist Name Last Name Email PhoneHas anyone faced a similar issue? I was expecting that every time some triggered the automation, it would add the new user’s details to the automation.This is the example of an automation:I’ve put the Action on the beginning. Is it in the right place?Many thanks
