Sending WhatsApp Messages to Multiple Audiences via Automation

Hi,We want to send a WhatsApp message (initiated by us) to multiple audiences via automation. We used the triggers "contact created" and/or "tag is applied," but it’s not working. We haven’t received any messages on our WhatsApp at all.Do you happen to know if there’s something we might be missing? Please find the screenshots of the automations below. Thank you! Note 1: It says "disabled" in the picture, but we had it enabled during the test. We've disabled it for now. Note 2: This is another automation we tested, but it also did not work.

Admin to other IG accounts, Manychat doesn't detect it

I am trying to test something. I already have an IG account set up with a chatbot, and I want to add another IG account. I am assigned as admin to that other account (it doesn’t have any Facebook page linked, it’s just the IG account), and I have access to it thru Meta Business Suite, but for some reason when I try to add it to Manychat, it doesn’t show up.I already tried doing what was explained here and here, without luck.

Remove the Existing Facebook Page

Remove the Existing Facebook Account: Please disconnect the current Facebook account that is connected to my ManyChat account, as it is no longer in use. Add New Active Facebook Account: Connect my new, active Facebook account to ManyChat. Ensure that all relevant permissions are granted and the page is properly integrated for messaging automation. This will ensure that my ManyChat account is linked to the correct Facebook account for communication and automation purposes.

Delete the US whatsapp number provided by manychat

I want to know how to delete the WhatsApp number that ManyChat provides when opening the account, as they charge me 0.66 cents for this, but I am no longer using it because I entered my own number. I don't know how to cancel this subscription.

Stop users from entering automation multiple times

I have an automation set up, so when a follower sends me a message with a keyword, it triggers an automation. After that, I start the conversation with the Follower. But sometimes the user sends that keyword in their messages again, and my automation gets triggered again. Since this happens, when I’m not active in the conversation, the 30 minutes pause function does not solve the problem. Is there a way to stop followers from entering one automation multiple times?

How to turn off “We will get back to you during our working hours — our team is …”

Can I use manychat mobile to reply on whatsapp?

Hi all, I’ve just setup my manychat account. I’m still on the free version. I’m trying to use manychat mobile to reply on whatsapp however it says “You can’t send messages from this Manychat account. Please log in to Manychat’s web version and follow the instructions to resolve this.” Does this mean it is not possible? Or is there something i need to do to set this up?

It basically just completely stopped working.I have went through all of the troubleshooting, refreshing permissions, and anything else I could find.Can someone please help me? This is really hurting my business.Thank you for your support very much.

ManyChat Automation Workflow Messages Not Showing in Bitrix24 Open Channels

I’m facing an issue where messages sent through ManyChat automation workflows for Messenger aren’t appearing in Bitrix24’s open channels. However, messages sent manually or outside of the automation workflows do show up correctly. Has anyone experienced this problem or knows how to resolve it?

Buy Button - Messenger only? Or IG too?

Can anyone confirm for me whether we can set up the Buy button, using Stripe, for Instagram DMs?I thought it was possible, but on the Chatter Matters webinar the other night, someone said it was Messenger only?This article - albeit quite old - suggests otherwise?https://manychat.com/blog/feature-announcement-instagram-buy-button/Can anyone confirm?

WhatsApp Broadcasting fail to deliver message.

WhatsApp broadcast frequently encounters with message not delivered, this started happening about a month ago, why is this? Technical support keep telling me is because the user blocked us, which is not true. Why would multiple clients request for us to contact them and blocked us? Our normal WhatsApp account is able to reach these clients.

Now I am trying to start a flow via Make automation. But now it says Flow does not exists. But I grabbed it from the top URL like it said and still nothing.

Send Messages API Won't Send Instagram

Hey everyone. So currently I have a system that creates dynamic messages depending on what the user DM’s. I made a Make automation that uses the send messages node for manychat to send the messages. The problem is when I try the node for Instagram messages the messages never send even though the node says success.

Replacing a contact's email in the actual email platform

Right now I have it set up, where when someone updates their email in ManyChat, it sends that new email address over to the email marketing platform (in this case to Drip via Zap). But what it does is create a brand new contact vs replacing the email address that was previously there.Is there a work around for this?

Instagram DM autoresponse not working

Hi all, Recently I ran a post on Instagram driving people to comment, and in return we would DM them a link. As it was a free pass, I knew it would do really well - so didn’t include autoreplies to their comments, as I know sometimes Instagram could stop you commenting for 24 hours.It’s done really well, 6k uses in like 48 hours - but now a lot of people are not going the link. They are being told we’ve sent them a message but are not able to view it. Is this a Manychat issue in that it’s struggling with the volume - or is Instagram starting to block them being sent because it views it as spam? Would love to know of any work arounds! As it’s annoying because I’m having to manually send lots of people the link when they complain that it is not working!Thanks,Harry

Automatically. mark contacts as closed

Is there a way to automatically mark contacts as closed after a certain period of time? I don’t want inactive contacts going towards my monthly bill, but don’t want to have to manually close out all of the DM conversations that I’m receiving.
