General Q&A

Subject: Unable to verify email address and receive confirmation codeHello,I am having trouble verifying my email address (diazrobin1970@gmail.com) for my Manychat account. I am not receiving the confirmation code in my inbox or spam folder.When I try to use the "Resend code" option, I receive an error message that says "Email is already in use by another user" (as shown in the attached screenshot).I am currently locked out of my account and cannot proceed. Could you please investigate this issue and help me regain access to my account?Thank you,

This week I started to notice my Instagram automations only sending to people who are following me. There is no reply comment or message sent to anyone who is not following me which is where most of my comments come from. Does anyone know how to fix this ?

finding in doc, i figured out is also possible using validation in whatsapp manager on meta ads but in this case i cant use CoEx and have to disconnect. i already using messages in batch and trading conversations with my custumers i cant delete this one. i have to dispatch more messages but i cant validate my current number to increase the number of messages. and is quite important for my bussiness use coex , as actually working now and very well.

Hello, I scheduled four messages to be sent on January 31, 2026, each set for different times: 1st message: 07:00 AM 2nd message: 07:55 AM 3rd message: 09:30 AM 4th message: 12:30 PM However, the following issue occurred: all messages were sent at the same time as the first one, specifically at 07:00 AM.This is a serious problem, as all messages were scheduled for the same contact base, which directly impacts communication quality, user experience, and may cause deliverability issues.I need to understand what went wrong with the scheduling system and what measures will be taken to ensure this does not happen again.

Hello, I would like to build a chatbot ai for whatsapp. But recently I saw that meta introduced an ai tax to use third party ai chatbot with whatsapp.Is there a way to avoid this tax? Or do I have to use chatbot without ai?

Conectei o número através da versão beta Conexão com Coexistência, a principio tudo funcionando 100%Criei meu primeiro fluxo como teste onde o usuário envia a mensagem para iniciar a partir do “a mensagem contém” no teste feito dentro da plataforma a mensagem chega e está funcionando, porém quando envio a mensagem através do whatsapp o fluxo não se inicia. segue abaixo algumas imagens 

Why are buttons not appearing on the deskop/web app? Compare how this automation looks in the mobile vs web app...mobile:desktop/web: 

I want to add a WhatsApp account to Many chat. The number is using WhatsApp Business, the business is verified by Meta, but in the WhatsApp account in Meta, it does not show currency, time zone, and the WhatsApp manager. The only info appear is:Business name, Phone number, and Profile photo.Also, I tried to connect the Many chat process, but the only choice I have is to create a new WhatsApp business for the business portfolio

I've come back to ManyChat because there was a workaround to get the automation to fire and say "hi" to new followers. The issue I'm now having is that the automation “Say hi to new followers “ it's only working about 40% of the time, which makes the automation redundant because it's taken me double the time to then go through and screen who has received messages and who hasn't been sent messages, so then I can send them manually.I then found that other automations that I have set for either a comment or a DM for a specific word also isn't firing. I have tried to follow the instructions to refresh my permissions, the issue is when I try to refresh it tries to log me in again and I have the exact same issue of the failure to log in when I was trying to activate the automation to "Say Hi to New Followers" Before there was a workaround. I end up going in circles. I have emailed support but have yet to receive a reply. I have ensured

Is anyone else having problems when all (literally all settings, including channels, automation, contact and subscription) disappear?I have used Manychat for more than a year. I logged in as usual through Facebook and saw just a new account 😩And I don't know why. I didn't delete automation, channels, or any integrations, and I paid my subscription last week.It seems like there might be some bug.

Hi! I would like to add the second Instagram profile into my Manychat channel and tried to get inside of my created profile and found out that I cannot log in anymore with FB or Instagram credentials. I have checked all the passwords, all was correct and were saved on my PC, but then why I cannot log in? What I should do in such case? Thanks in advance,With kind regards,Anna.

I have no active subscriptions on my account but I am still being billed by Manychat. Does anyone know where to go to resolve this - I’ve had to block the payment via my bank for now and I’m not very happy about it.

I’m having WhatsApp messages inconsistencies. Some messages from WhatsApp are never showing up in Manychat’s platform. However, the messages I send to them are indeed visible, but it’s as if im talking to myself because the chat only shows MY messages.The problem is, as the messages from my clients are not being recieved by Manychat, the automations never starts, so the conversarion ends up ignored.The whole “automation” thing gets useless. Is there any solution to this problem?Some deatils: I use WhatsApp Coexistence, but this issue is relatively new (it didn’t happen the first few months)

Hi ManyChat team — my Instagram business account….  is fully connected and authorized in Meta Business Manager and Instagram (Apps & Websites), but it does not appear as a workspace in my ManyChat account.This looks like a hidden or corrupted workspace connection. Can a team member please fully detach the Instagram account on the backend and re-enable it so I can add it properly?

I am using Manychat now for 5-6 weeks. setup and login was very difficult. however i was able to login with my mobile phone what never worked on my Macbook. but two days ago i was logged out and now i can’t login anymore. anyone experienced the same?

I’m running into a challenge with ManyChat and wanted to confirm the best-practice setup.I receive hundreds of Instagram DMs per day. Many of these are from existing followers, applicants, or active clients where I want to respond personally and not trigger automated AI replies. I only want the AI automation to respond to truly new inbound messages.Ideally, I want the system to work like this:New inbound messages from users → trigger the AI response. Once I personally reply in the DM thread → the AI should automatically shut off for that user. Ongoing conversations should not be interrupted by automation.What is the most reliable way in ManyChat to:Detect “new conversations” vs ongoing conversations, and Automatically pause or disable automation once a human/admin replies?If possible, I’d love guidance on the exact rule, tag, or automation logic that supports this use case at scale.Than

I’ve tested an automation that worked perfectly on iPhones, but it keeps duplicating buttons from other steps when on an Android phone. And for the same phone the buttons keep changing for the same steps. What’s wrong and what should I do? There’s nothing wrong on the steps I created.

 I’m having an issue registering my WhatsApp Business with ManyChat in the coexistence section. During the registration process everything seems correct, but at the end it doesn’t appear as a channel anywhere and I can’t use it. However, on my phone app it shows that I’m connected to a business, but in ManyChat nothing appears.

 Hi everyone, I’m experiencing an issue with ManyChat’s follower DM automation. The automation is active, permissions are granted, and the account is properly connected. However, the DM is not being delivered to new followers and the automation is not triggering at all. I’ve already reviewed all settings and connections. Has anyone experienced this issue or knows how to resolve it? I’d really appreciate any guidance.

Hello, I’m really struggling with the Follow to DM feature at the moment. And constantly getting the message below. Does anyone have a work around?  This Feature Isn’t available for your Instagram. This feature is currently in beta. Access is controlled by Meta and can vary by account.  Would love to know if anyone found a work around to this, or if it’s just a waiting game. Thanks

Hey, I'm running a ManyChat Agency. Some of my new clients are seeing new Manychat pricing plans. Starting from $17/month with 250 contacts/month.Does anyone has any idea about new pricing? And which regions have this new pricing plans? Thank you. 

I would like to clearly summarise what happened from the beginning so this situation can be reviewed and resolved correctly.On 24.12.2025, I purchased and paid for the Manychat Pro subscription in the amount of $348.00. My intention was to continue using this plan without interruption.After this, I noticed an additional charge of $98.00 on my account that I did not authorize or intend to purchase.I immediately contacted support to report this billing error and specifically requested that:1.My paid Pro subscription remain active2.The unauthorized $98.00 charge be canceled and refundedDespite this clear request, my Pro subscription was fully canceled by your team as part of the refund process. This action was not requested by me and directly disrupted my business operations, as I rely on Pro features for active automation and client communication.As a result, I am now be
