Problemas con respuestas del bot y pasos de IA en WhatsApp

Hola, estoy teniendo varios problemas con el funcionamiento del bot en WhatsApp. Cuando los clientes escriben cosas como “quiero esta” acompañado de una imagen, o hacen preguntas fuera del flujo como “método de pago” o “qué sabores tienen”, el bot no responde correctamente y muchas veces reinicia el flujo con el mensaje de bienvenida. También he configurado AI Steps y palabras clave, pero en algunos casos no se activan o el bot alucina respuestas. Necesito ayuda para entender si es un tema de configuración o una limitación de la plataforma, porque esto está afectando la experiencia del cliente. Gracias de antemano.

Typing Feature

Hello, is there an integration with Whatsapp, when in automation you add a delay, let's say 3 seconds, for the user to see that "typing" functionality?I believe this already exists in the integration with the messenger.Thanks

Where is my broadcasting feature?

Hey guys. Hoping someone can help me here. I am looking to send out a broadcast to my contacts but am not seeing the broadcasting section. Any recommendations? I have an admin role in our manychat with the influencer being the owner. Is this an issue?

can't leave comment

Hi, in the ManyChat app, when it opens too many comments, the page gets reported and then we can't leave any more comments at all.Is there any option that allows it to automatically leave comments, but without overdoing it so that the page doesn’t get blocked?

What happened to ManyChat!?

This isn’t so much of a question as it is an official complaint.  I understand ManyChat had to change a few things to comply with platform rules like having to send an intro message before sending the link in DM’s, etc.  But today, I launched a product and was devastated by the absolute failure this site.  I refreshed my permissions when I saw new features to ensure efficiency.  But the toggles didn’t work so I couldn’t select “Reply to DM’s” despite refreshing a million times.  There were so many glitches, and the format is completely different.  By the time I finally got an automation up and running, I tested it on a separate account and the link didn’t work.  I canceled the automation, refreshed permissions, and redid everything only for the automation to not work at all.  I have had multiple issues with ManyChat and now I am officially saying goodbye after today.  StanStore has a reply to DM automation that I will explore.  I just need something super simple that WORKS.

Smart delay

Hello community, I have two questions about smart delay1.I set up an automation to notify my Instagram followers about a product promotion since we cannot use broadcasting in Instagram to all followers who used to leave a message.I'm not sure if this will work as expected. The Smart Delay is set to send them the promotional link 10 hours after their first interaction with me (=clicking the Show Me the Deal button), and they’re supposed to receive it between 9:00 AM and 10:00 PM in their time zone, right?2.An Instagram creator sent me a DM on March 29 right after I left a comment on her post. I only clicked on the button yesterday, but I still received an automated reply.That should have been outside the 24-hour messaging window, so I'm not sure why the auto-reply still worked. Do you know why this happened?Thanks in advance.

Why is many chat sending my recipients “this dm was sent by Many Chat??

I don’t want my clients to be bothered by another message that is not relevant to them at all. Please tell me why messages like this are happening!

*URGENT* Messenger 'Subscription List' Is Broken

The last 5 days my opt in to message lists on messenger has broken. No-one has ‘opted in’. When looking at the facebook inbox side of things, people are clicking the button which sends the ‘get updates’ message from their end. But when looking at the manychat logs, this ‘get updates’ message does not appear, and none of my inquirers over the past 5 days have opted in. I have attacghed screenshots showing how this conversation looks on both the facebook and manychat side of thigns. This is not an isolated things and is effecting everyone who messages my page.This has been happening on my collegues accounts as well. Is anyone else encountering this problem or know of a fix?

New contacts not being added after clicking "Get Updates"

Hey everyone,We have thousands of contacts in our ManyChat broadcast list, and everything was working fine until a few hours ago. However, we’ve noticed that new people who click "Get Updates" are NOT being added to our broadcast list anymore.I’ve checked Messenger, and people are still clicking the button “Get updates” and engaging with the flow, but no new contacts have been added in the last 5-6 hours. They are only shown in the contacts section but they are not added to our broadcast list. Is anyone else experiencing this? Could this be a ManyChat bug, a Facebook API issue, or something else? Any insights or fixes would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance!

Integrate Razorpay with Guide Delivery

Hi ManyChat,I'm interested in automating the process of mailing my guides to customers after successful payments through Razorpay. While I understand ManyChat doesn't directly integrate with Razorpay for this purpose, I've been reading about using workflow automation platforms like Make.com.Could you provide any guidance or resources on how I can set up this integration using ManyChat and Make.com?Specifically, I'd like to:Trigger a workflow in Make.com when a payment is successful in Razorpay. Use the customer information captured in Razorpay to send an email with a download link for the purchased guide.Any insights or pointers you can offer would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Aditya UjjainFounder, Hustlers League

How to opt in to Instagram broadcasts

Hi friends, I've been using ManyChat for a while to automatically answer comments and send links to DMs. But I haven't yet reached the next step of following up by offering those who messaged to opt in for individual broadcasts  (I.E. once they've opted in, I can send people DMs when there's an exciting announcement).I can't find out how to send people a follow up message asking them to sign up for my ManyChat DMsI got as far as Instagram Settings -> Opt-in Automation -> I set a trigger word "subscribe" -> I automatically send people a DM saying they're subscribed to receive our broadcasts -> But I don't think anything actually happens... I haven't cracked the middle part which is to "Set Instagram Opt-In"... Help?

Why many parts of my automation gets back to an old version on save? So bothering!

Hey, The question is in the title. That is SO frustrating to progress in your automation, then you save it and many parts of it randomly go back to a previous old version of the automation. I’m forced to review all the parts of the automation. It may be “due to the fact I didn’t clean my cache” but why would you keep this in the cache anyways and for some reason put randomly parts of the automation to an older version? Please fix basic things like that!

If I click on Book an Appointment, it should trigger Send Message #5. Conversely, if I click on the Skip Button, it should trigger Send Message #13.I need help on the subject.Thanks and Regards.

WhatsApp 24 hour messaging window/Customer support

Hello all,We’re currently testing Manychat to see whether it will meet our requirements, but we are encountering a few scenarios where the 24-hour messaging window is a challenge.  For example:We operate from 9:00  a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. So, in some cases, we may receive a message at 5:00 p.m. on Friday and cannot respond appropriately until Monday morning. We often engage and initiate conversations with our contacts outside of this window with follow-up messages. For example, five days after the initial conversation, we might send "Hi Simon, just to let you know we will deliver your laptop tomorrow at 1 PM" or "Hi Simon, I was wondering whether you had a chance to do Y."We occasionally send a WhatsApp message to a new customer after speaking with them on the phone (we initiate a conversation).  For example, "Hi Simon, it was great talking to you on the phone. When you have a chance, could you send me X detail and some photos of your office?"We may initiate a convers

How to check if a team member replied manually after 24 hours?

Hi everyone! 👋I'm fairly new to ManyChat and I'm trying to build an escalation system where a contact gets reassigned to another team member if the currently assigned member doesn't respond within 24 hours.Right now, I’m struggling with how to accurately detect if a team member (human) has replied manually to the contact’s message. I tried using the “Last Interaction in WhatsApp” condition, but I noticed that it also counts automated messages as interaction — which makes it hard to know if a real team member actually replied.Is there a way to track only human responses (not automated flows), even if the message from the contact was sent more than 24 hours ago? I’d really appreciate any tips, examples, or best practices — even if it's a workaround!Thanks in advance for any help 🙏

After manychat support asked me to configure my Facebook to resolve an error, my manychat stopped working!

I am facing a problem in my automations. At first I was having a problem with it. I had an automation that responded to a comment on Reels, and then linked to the trigger there was an action block, which was an opt-in, and then a block to respond to the comment.I realized the error and quickly fixed it.After that, another error occurred, with the buttons. When the person clicked on any button, from this button linked to the message, to another automation, etc., it DIDN'T work!And the problem is that I talked to other people who used ManyChat, and they said they were having the same problem with the buttons!I sent it to support, and they sent me some settings that I had to change, and I did them.How to remove this permission  and add this link to manychat, before there was nothing linked, it was empty!   But now my automations are no longer working!I had created a debug automation to manually send to people who were within 24 hours, and it had worked!Here's an example: And now, after th
