General Q&A

 I'm trying to find a template to create a new automation in Many Chat, but I don't see the template to redirect customers to your website.  Has it been replaced with another template? 

Hi! My IG (@dcmoms) has people directed to a link on my website (I have double checked it a lot), but Manychat is sending people the link to my facebook page instead. What am I doing wrong?! This started a few days ago and hasn’t been corrected. I have personally been DMing people the correct link. Thank you for any help! https://www.instagram.com/p/DTdGbs4jiSK/

I want to connect Facebook Messenger with Manychat, but there seems to be a problem with the connection.If I go to the settings and click on “messenger - connect”, I see the correct page to connect (I also have the necessary permissions), but I cant connect it, I can only send a connection request for the page to another page admin. Why is that?I also tried to reconnect the facebook page with manychat but as soon as I go to the connect-window for facebook messenger, the button says “request send” and “ Your request is pending XXXXXXX`s approval. They can easily access it in their Email inbox or under the account`s Settings → Team Members.”.The request however was never send or received by the account in question, but I cant pull the request back or resend it.

Hi, I am curious if other people are having this error. When I try to assign a tag manually on manychat I get get an error saying “user_id cannot be blank”Adding tags using API still works for some reason.I would like to hear more from you guys

The pricing page says Pro is $15, but when I click “Become pro”, I’m led to my dashboard with only a “Renew subscription” link at the top. When I click that, there is a $25 item in my cart called Marketing Automation with no mention of the Pro plan on the page. So did you change the Pro plan to this new thing and increase the price?    

Hey everyone, quick question because I’m honestly stuck here.I run a fairly large online business and a big part of our onboarding is handled through Telegram bots and automated workflows inside ManyChat.Over the last few days, I’ve had three separate ManyChat accounts shut down with no warning and no clear explanation. I can’t get a real response from support beyond a generic message, and it’s starting to feel pretty concerning given how much our systems rely on this.This is the only reply I’ve received:“Thank you for reaching out. We would like to inform you that the account [REDACTED] has been terminated due to suspicious activity that violates our Terms of Service. For more information, you can refer to Section 7 - Prohibited Users in our Terms of Service.Additionally, please note that once a channel is banned, it cannot be used in Manychat account again.We understand this may not be the outcome you were hoping for; however, please note that this decision is final, and we’re unable

HelloI want to have a work flow like belowWhen user comments→ They get a DM asking to follow if they aren’tfollowing the instagram page→ It only allows to send the link if the user follows→ user follows→ link sent. Like belowIt should look like this.Basically I don’t wanna share link without user following me. Is there a way to do this without Pro subscription? 

Hello, I am getting an error in my Messenger settings: 'No Valid Ad Accounts Shared'.​I have already clicked 'Refresh Permissions' multiple times, but the error persists. I have full control over the Ad account in the same Business Portfolio as my Facebook page 'NVTours - Your Travel Agent'.​Could you please help me fix this so I can create marketing campaigns and send messages on Messenger? Thank you!

I am very new to all this, so please be patient with me. I go live three nights a week and do a project. I have a flow built that connects to my website and a cartlink to the products featured in the live.  I use a keyword trigger to generate a message.  I have a different cartlink every night.  How do I duplicate my flow from night to night where all I have to do is change my keyword and cartlink?  I hope that makes sense.  

Hi.I have an issue with an integration from ManyChat to Kit. Here is the ManyChat automation: cf. screenshots.The part happening in the ManyChat DMs is working, but then my test contact (email) isn't being added to the Kit form and my Kit integration doesn't start.Meanwhile, when I opt-in directly via the Kit form, the automation starts and runs normally.So the issue seems to be in the connection between Manychat and Kit.Any advice?

Hi guys been trying to do this for  3 days now: any help appriaciated: Goal Collect email via Instagram DM Validate email with NeverBounce Allow max 3 invalid attempts On 4th invalid email, send fallback message (form link) Never send ebook unless email is valid Current Flow Logic User triggers automation by messaging “ebook” Bot asks for email Email is checked via NeverBounce (External Request) Router checks: nb_result is valid → Success message + ebook Otherwise → invalid path Invalid path: Increment email_attempts by +1 Ask user to re-enter email Gate checks email_attempts ≥ 3 Yes → fallback message No → retry loop Problem On the 4th invalid email submission, the flow still routes to Success Ebook is sent even though NeverBounce result is not valid NeverBounce action itself works correctly Attempts counter is incrementing, but routing is failing Key Constraint ManyChat standalone Actions cannot be routed Actions inside me

Manychat users are facing issues with the functionality, but manychat doesnt offer customer care live chat. Can you do something about it ?

Hello,I’m running Facebook Instant Form ads using “Chat with leads from instant form.”In ManyChat, I can only select Facebook Ads or Instagram Ads as the trigger — not both.If I select Facebook Ads as the trigger and choose Send Message via Messenger, will that same flow automatically apply to Instagram ads and open in Instagram DMs when the ad is clicked on Instagram?If not, what is the correct way to set this up using one ad campaign and one flow, since Instant Forms appear to only allow selecting a single flow?Thanks 

I cross post my instagram reels to my facebook. How can I get the automation to transfer too? It only ever works in instagram DMS

I want a flow where the post is an offer teaser, and when people comment how much what is the offer etc, they get the offer in their inbox with buttons to order, but the business has a new post with a new offer daily, and i can’t just create a new automation every single day, there must be a better way to do this instead of running 365 automations by the end of the year, please help me :) what can be done to do this smoothly with logic idk p.s. i need all of them to eb running and i can’t do unique trigger words 

I had 2 organic posts that I was using the comment a word to DM automation. It was working fine. I then went into Meta Ads Manager, made a Traffic Objective Ad optimizing for Instagram profile visits using these two existing posts. Now neither automation for those 2 posts work.Is there a way to resolve this? Thank you.

I'm relatively new to ManyChat, but I have a specific question:I'm having trouble sending sales information from my WhatsApp channel to META. I create a new flow and add a META ACTION/EVENT at the end, but ManyChat won't let me select the pixel to which I want to send this information.Also, the "META ACTION/EVENT" field in the flow only allows me to enter the sale price. This doesn't make sense because I have over 200 products, and the price changes constantly; it's not fixed. How can I send the exact price to META through the pixel?How can I solve these two problems? Could someone help me?

https://www.loom.com/share/d6ab3097e2fb437bbf99fb3ff8df0a30Anyone know how to get around this? I can’t log into update whatever permission it wants. Is there a workaround to update it on the business suite or on instagram?​​​​​​​Thanks

Hey guysI’m seeing a forced ~5 minute delay on Instagram story reply automations, even when the flow is set to respond immediately. This only seems to have started recently.I’m currently on ManyChat Pro, so I wanted to check: Is this an intentional change or an Instagram/API requirement? Does this apply to all plans, including Pro and Business? Is this expected behaviour going forward, or potentially temporary? Just want to understand whether this is a platform limitation or something specific to my setup.Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Hello ManyChat Support Team,I would like to report an issue with the “Send message when a new user follows the Instagram account” feature.Currently, the automation does not trigger when a new user follows our Instagram account, even though: The user is a completely new follower The Instagram account is properly connected to ManyChat The automation is enabled and published As a result, the welcome message is not sent to new followers as expected.Please help us check: Whether this trigger is working correctly on Instagram If there are any known issues or limitations with the New Follower trigger Thank you for your support.Looking forward to your assistance.

Hey y’all — I’m hoping someone can help me troubleshoot this 👀I created a broadcast subscription sequence where users should: Receive the “Subscribe to updates” prompt Click to subscribe Then automatically move through the rest of the sequence Here’s the issue: The sequence is not completing once someone subscribes Some people (who already follow me or have past DM history) are randomly receiving only the “Subscribe to our updates” message They do not receive the actual subscribe button or the follow-up messages in the sequence As a result, they’re stuck and never enter the full automation Everything appears to be connected, but parts of it are showing as not connected or not triggering correctly. I’m not sure if this is: A condition issue A trigger misfire A problem with existing conversations/followers Or something with how the subscription message is set up I attached screenshots of what I’m seeing on my end.Any insight on what I should double-check (conditions, ent

HiI have an issue I had not had before with smart delays.I have message sequences with several smart delays. All work but not the last. It was working but since my last update of the sequence (just message content changes) I get an error messages.I set the smart delay to 23 hours and it tells me it need to be below 24 hours (???). Even if I put one hour I get an error. Then I tried minutes and it also only accepts if it is 23 minutes or below.I really think this is some kind of glitch. It was working before without any issue.
