Please help me to solve this problem “Something went wrong. Please try again.” I already clear the cache, but it seems not working

hi i am using the pro subscription and my contacts are less than 5k why the pricing is higher? 

My ManyChat account won’t let me do ANYTHING. I can’t delete it, I can’t remove the logins, I can’t do anything. It’s connected to a Meta account that got blocked, so I can’t use it. I need to delete this account or remove the logins, but I can’t do anything on this stupid page.

Hey! I would love to start a "say hi to new followers" Automation in Manychat Sadly I get the "unknown error" text on my Mobile Phone Manychat App, aswell as when I try it on the desktop Website with "couldn't create Automation"  I have the free plan and would just love to use this simple Automation before paying  I re-connected my Instagram with my Facebook Business Account and it should be perfectly fine, but sadly its not working since days.… Thank you! 

Hello! I setup the Instagram new follower automation so a message gets sent when I receive a new follower… it says it is live, but I’ve received around 10 new followers since setting it up about 7 hours ago, and it is still showing I have 0 runs of the automation. Any idea on how to resolve this issue?

Hello. Is it still not possible to delete, or at least edit, a manually sent message on WhatsApp?

My “say hi to new followers” automation was working great for about a week, a few thousand sends with a good CTR. But suddenly it dropped to zero sends and I have gotten about 2000 followers with no messages sent. I tried deleting and re-creating the automation but still won’t send messages. Credentials look good and I have made no recent changes to my account.

How do I know if automations are working? Do I still need to go into my IG/fb and see if a response was recieved. Thank you in advance! I am very new here.

I’m noticing today - Feb 13th, 2025, when I get manychat DMs from other people on Instagram, the links aren’t working.It says “there was a problem loading the website”Also noticing this with my own ManyChat DMs i’m sending people that comment.Is anyone experiencing the same thing, is this a server issue or reported outage with ManyChat?

Hi ManyChat Team,I'm trying to build an Instagram automation that processes Reels shared by users in DMs. However, I've encountered an issue where ManyChat's Default Reply automation does not trigger when a user shares a Reel as an attachment (without typing text).The Problem:Text messages trigger the automation Shared Reels (attachment only) do NOT trigger the automation When I use an External Request action, the {{last_input_text}} field is empty for Reel shares, and there doesn't seem to be a way to access the Reel URL or metadata.Context:Meta's Instagram webhook API sends Reel shares with the ig_reel attachment type, which includes:reel_video_idtitle (caption)url (CDN link to the video)See Meta's documentation on Instagram webhook attachments: Instagram Webhooks DocumentationRequest:Could you add support for triggering automations on ig_reel attachment messages?Could you expose the Reel URL and metadata via custom fields or system variables (e.g., {{last_shared_reel_url}}, {{last_a

Why is there a  delay for story automation? This hurts the goal of having a story reply 

Hey there,looking for a solution. Our keywords are randomly working, and I can't figure out what the problem is.For example, an automation is set to:User comments on your Post or ReelAll Posts or ReelsSpecific KeywordsComments include these Keywords:COBSCobsThis one did not trigger: COBS 😍These triggered: COBS, CobsIs really the emoji the problem? Because with another automation and trigger, it worked with the emoji. Someone used this READERINFO 🪐 and it worked.Thank you

Hello there!I’m experiencing an issue with my Instagram keyword-based automations.For several weeks now, my automations triggered by comment keywords are not working anymore, or only very rarely.Users comment the correct keyword under my posts, but the automation often does not trigger at all and no DM is sent.This happens across multiple posts and flows, even though everything is correctly set up and used to work before.I don’t understand why this is happening and would like to know: Is this a known issue or limitation? Has there been a recent change related to Instagram or Meta’s API? Is there anything I can do to fix or stabilize this behavior? Thanks in advance for your help,Riyadh 

I’m experiencing an issue with a comment-to-DM automation on Instagram.I posted a Reel that went viral. Once it started getting traction, I activated a ManyChat automation so that anyone who commented a specific keyword would receive a DM with a link to a free class (lead generation).The problem is that out of approximately 1,000 comments, ManyChat shows that the automation was triggered for only around 150 users. From what I can verify manually, the remaining commenters did not receive any message at all.This means I’m losing a significant number of potential leads, even though: The automation is active The Reel is correctly selected in ManyChat The trigger is set to comments containing a keyword The link being sent is not promotional (it’s a free class I noticed this issue happens mainly on Instagram (not Facebook), which makes me think it could be related to Instagram permissions, timing (automation activated after the Reel started going viral), or comment delivery limits.I wo

I am creating some WhatsApp automations, and since some people on my team reply to customers directly through the app, I can’t keep track of what was the last message sent by the company to the customer.Is there any way to retrieve the last message that we sent to the customer?Since Live Chat tools can do this, I imagine that the Meta API exposes this information in some way.

I’ve searched everywhere, but can’t find the answer, so am hoping the community can help. I’m creating an automation where I give away a link to a community waitlist, but I want to make sure it only goes to people that are following me. And if they aren’t following me, I want to request they hit a button to follow and then I will share the link to the waitlist.I’ve figured out how to create the condition where I share with the people already following me. But I can’t figure out how to set up a button, for non-followers to begin following me. Can you tell me what I need to do at this step, to have someone follow me? 

Hey! Trying to connect our IG account to Manychat. Only works through Meta Business Suite in some way, not through the new Unified login. When I try logging in, at the end it says:“• You can't log in with this Instagram accountTry using a Facebook account that you know is connected to this Instagram account”How to solve this, so we can start trying Manychat and use the Follow to DM feature?Tried 2 IG accounts, both the same.

Is there a way to validate zip code with the data collection node and a condition?  I am stuck and would prefer not to API a zip code validation tool or script any ideas?

I’m unable to reconnect my Instagram Business Account (@bencorde) to ManyChat because the Meta authorization page only shows the Instagram login, not the Facebook login required for the new API.Every time I click “Update your Instagram permissions to say hi to new followers,” it sends me to Meta’s “Authorization Request” screen → I log in with Instagram → and get this message:“You can’t log in with this Instagram account. Try using a Facebook account that you know is connected with this Instagram account.”I’ve tried everything — clearing cache, different browsers, devices, removing/re-adding ManyChat in Business Integrations, confirming admin access, and linking my Page + IG correctly.The issue persists because my account is still connected via the old Instagram OAuth API, which Meta deprecated in 2024.ManyChat chatbot confirmed the old API connection (ticket #399766) and said the issue needs manual migration to the Unified Instagram Onboarding Flow — but I haven’t received a response.
