Need Help Configuring Restaurant Reservation Flow with ManyChat + Make.com Integration

Hi everyone, 👋I'm new to integrating ManyChat with Make.com and need guidance to set up a restaurant reservation system. My goal is to automate reservations via ManyChat and sync them seamlessly with external tools like Google Sheets or a reservation management system.I’ve attached a screenshot of my current Make.com setup to show the flow I’ve been working on. However, I’m unsure about a few things:1️⃣ How do I structure the ManyChat flow to collect details like date, time, and party size effectively?2️⃣ How do I connect this to Make.com to ensure data is sent and retrieved correctly (e.g., to and from a Google Sheet)?3️⃣ What’s the best way to handle scenarios like “no available slots” or user cancellations within this system?If anyone has experience setting up a similar flow or can provide tips, templates, or tutorials, I’d greatly appreciate it! 🙏Thank you in advance for your help!

Collaboration post Automatization

Hi, I'd like to ask, is it possible to set up automation on Instagram when two profiles collaborate. A person would comment on a keyword and then a message would come to them. I know it works on one account, but I'm wondering how it is for a collab post. Thank you for the reply.

Restrict source address for external API Call

Hi everyone,Im running a pilot using some external APIs calls to add value on my bot! Im impressed about how easy was that to set up! Thank you!The only problem Im facing right now is that I need, for security reasons, restrict access to this external API so it can only accept calls from manychat bot. As I know you don't provide 1 IP or range? Which is the best way so I can solve this issue?

Hi there, I’m having an issue with my current automation.I believe I set it up correctly but the preview keeps telling me I haven’t picked a post. But as you can see on the top left of the screen cap below, I have selected a post.I’ve tried to refresh permissions. I did an automation before that worked. Tried duplicating this one but doesn’t work either, nothing is sent to my followers.What am I missing here ?Thanks for your help !

Issue with Exporting Tags and Contact Information

Hi ManyChat Support,I am facing an issue with exporting my contacts' information, specifically the tags assigned to them. Currently, many of my contacts have their data saved as tags, and I need a way to export this information to analyze and organize it properly.I have tried using a Google Sheets flow with the "Tag applied" trigger, but it doesn't work for bulk exporting all existing tags for my contacts. I also couldn't find a straightforward way to export the tags using the Audience Export feature, as it seems limited in its capabilities.Could you please guide me on how to:Export all existing tags assigned to my contacts. Extract this data in a usable format (e.g., CSV or Google Sheets). Provide a clear method to bulk organize this data if ManyChat does not currently support this functionality.Your assistance will be greatly appreciated as this is crucial for managing my contacts and improving my workflow.Best regards,

Button on Instagram DMs not working

Ok, so when someone comments on my IG post, they get sent a message and the idea is they click the button to confirm they want my freebie and the next step is entering their email. The button to click to confirm they want my freebie was working fine and now it seems it’s not. Is there a way to work around this with a comment reply? I’m getting sick of manually sending people and apologising for the messages they got that was pointless.

Automation doesn't work on bulk updating contacts.

Hello,I have created an automation which is supposed to be triggered when a tag is applied to a contact. If i go to certain contacts and apply tags to them manually then the automation doesn’t work. The same is the case with updating a custom field. Bulk updating a custom field isn’t triggering the automation for those contacts.

i am using my personal gmail account to log in to ManyChat and connecting to my customer’s account to connect to Instagram.That process works perfect.Then in order to let my customer answer IG chats, i created an account for my customer.No problem on that.Now, i want to start using customer’s Messenger as a chanel. When i go to add the service there is a message than that account (the one from my customer) is already in use, which is true, because my customer is already using many chat for the live chat service.So i am re-logged as my customer account, then i can’t add the Messenger account.What’s the best way to add a customer account?Isn’t possible to add an account that doesn’t belongs to me?I don’t want to ask user credentials to log in to their accounts. Thanks

Weird Problem with Default Reply on Instagram

Good morning,I’m experiencing a strange issue with Instagram integration in ManyChat. I have multiple accounts in ManyChat, and I’ve never encountered this problem before. However, while configuring a customer’s account, I noticed that the default reply on Instagram isn’t working.Here’s the situation:I’ve already connected the Instagram account and Messenger. I’ve built other automations that work perfectly, including: Automatically replying to Instagram comments and sending private messages as a reply to those comments. Default replies to messages on Facebook. Replying to Facebook comments and sending private messages as replies. Conversation starters on Facebook. Everything works fine except for the default reply on Instagram. When I set it up, the configuration seems correct:The trigger is set. There’s an action to send a message.However, when I test it by sending messages from a different account, nothing happens. What’s more, the messages don’t even appear in the ManyChat inbox

Instagram coupon code

Hello!I would like to create an automation that will send new followers on Instagram a discount code for their first purchase. Can I create some action that will check if the number of followers has increased, or if a given account has already followed my account? I want to avoid a situation where someone will unfollow my account and follow again just for the coupon.Thank you for help!

ManyChat Automation in LiveStream

I may be late to the game here but how do you setup ManyChat Automation for Instagram Livestream? I’m assuming while someone is on an instagram live, they can comment the trigger word, and a link/info will be sent to them. Thanks!
