General Q&A

I can’t figure out how to get my account set up correctly. My social profiles are not connected as I am unable to use manychat features. Yet when I go to sign up, manychat sees my instagram, for instance, then says it’s connecting. Then a blue button comes up that says “switch account.” What does “switch account” mean? When I click it, it just redoes the sign up loop I just went through. There is apparently no customer service department at manychat. I’ve tried contacting them on three separate occasions and have heard nothing back. The AI help bot is worse than useless—a complete waste of time. I can’t seem to find anyone else who has this problem. Apparently everyone else easily connected their social profiles with zero problems? Everyone loves manychat but I can’t even sign up. I feel like I’m being gaslit about this service. I don’t even know what to ask? Is there a way to start over from scratch? Navigating manychat’s user interface reminds me a lot of facebook’s business dashboar

I started using ManyChat last week, and it has been wonderful up until the past couple of days. Yesterday and today my automations don’t seem to be working quite right. My automation will be sent when someone comments on a post/reel. The DM seems to be sent just fine, but the public comment replies aren’t working anymore. Has anyone run into this issue? Is there a fix? 

I set up an automation where, when someone commented a specific word on my post, they’d get a DM. It worked the first time I used it, but even though it’s still live, it doesn’t work anymore. What should I do?

Hi everyone,I could really use your help with something:In the “common automatic reply” settings, I added a link that is supposed to take the user directly to our restaurant’s page inside the Wolt app. Unfortunately, when someone clicks it, it opens our page in their mobile browser instead of opening the Wolt app itself.The link works correctly on other platforms, so I’m not sure what might be causing this behavior.Does anyone have an idea why this happens or how it can be fixed?Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

New to many chat literally just tried to make an account and connect- I did everything followed all steps and went back to many chat and it’s just stuck on the connect page, I click connect with meta and it just takes me to my Facebook page, I click connect with instagram and it just takes me to my Instagram page? How do I connect ??

Hi, my Telegram bot @JobSlimBot_bot is connected to Manychat. Messages from Telegram arrive in Live Chat and I can reply from Manychat, but my Telegram Welcome Message never triggers.What I already did:– Created a Welcome Message flow and published it (no yellow dot).– Selected this flow as Telegram Welcome Message in Settings.– Enabled the Telegram channel and refreshed permissions.– Renewed the bot token and reconnected the bot.– Tested with /start and the Start button on different phones and with completely new Telegram accounts that never talked to the bot before.Result:– No automation starts, no Welcome Message is sent.– Only Live Chat works.Could someone from Manychat please check my Telegram integration and triggers on your side and tell me what is wrong with my account?`

Do you have to have a business Facebook page to connect it to Instagram and Facebook? Anyone know a work around since I don’t have a Facebook business page? My Facebook is in the professional setting. 

The Apps and websites page in the Instagram app in the Website permissions section has not been opening for me for a while.What should I do?I have tried all possible ways, including using a different IP, updating the app, etc.This page opens in my other accounts, but it only doesn't open in one account.That's why Direct Reply in Direct Automation with the help of many chats doesn't work for me.

Is that possible?

Fiz o cancelamento da assinatura, desconectei tudo, porém, o manychat segue tentando debitar o valor no meu cartão de crédito. Algum lugar onde eu possa falar diretamente com eles? Me orientem, grata.

Can someone watch this video and help me understand why I can not connect to my IG account to send DM to new followers? www.loom.com/share/11e93fb15d2349d9ba3858f4e27e9b33?from_recorder=1&focus_title=1 Thanks!

Hi!I’m getting this error when trying to access or edit our “Oi” automation for new followers on Instagram inside ManyChat.This flow is responsible for sending the initial greeting message and guiding users through our welcome path, so it's important for our team to update it.I already checked all user permissions on Meta Business Suite and followed the steps from the official help article, but nothing changed.Our admin has full access to the Instagram account and can normally edit links, settings, and other assets on Meta, but still can’t access this specific automation inside ManyChat.Could you help me understand what may be causing this issue and how to fix it?Thank you! 

Hello, I there is problem in “Auto-DM Links From Comments”.It is not working.This automation had failed earlier as well.Are you all facing issue regarding the same? Regards,Anurag Choubey

Hi everyone 👋My name is Jan, I’m the founder of Nocasu Travel & More — a global travel platform that connects travelers directly with local tour operators, guides, and experience providers worldwide.After traveling for many years across Southeast Asia, Africa, and parts of South America, I started building Nocasu to make travel more transparent, direct, and personal — without big middlemen and with better experiences for travelers.I recently started exploring ManyChat to: automate customer conversations create simple DM flows for events, destinations and travel offers connect Facebook & Instagram messaging with my website and Linktree experiment with keyword automation (e.g. “Festival”, “Dubai”, “Japan” etc.) I strongly believe communities like this are essential if you want to build, learn and grow together instead of doing everything alone.I’m here mainly to:✅ learn real-world ManyChat setups✅ connect with other builders & marketers✅ exchange ideas around automatio

Example attached.I want people to pick an option from the list so the automation doesnt die.I can do this successfully by looping them back to the question using data collection or conditions with tags when they give an invalid response using the “next step” feature. However the “next step” runs in the background even after i get a valid response and will still loop them back to the question.How can i disable the next step if i get my response? 

I recently saw a video of someone who mentioned Manychat was available for TikTok in the USA (they are based in the USA). When I try to connect, I get either a “something went wrong” message (on the iOS app) or the “not available in your country” message on the desktop. Is it only available to a select few? :) How can I be on that list? 

Hey there,I try to set up a basic automation, starting with a comment to a post. Basically, I want to replicate the sequence below01:07:18Though when I set the second node in the sequence, Send Message, I’m not able to select Send within 24 hour option as I get the error Mark this message as a "Private Reply" if you want to send it as a reply to a post, reel comment, a follow action or share to story reply.Thus, if I set it to Send as Private Reply, the socket Next Step becomes unavailable. As understand, a user in IG has to reply first to your initial message if one wants to send him follow-ups, additional info, etc.Generally, I need to CTA first and only then I’ll be able to send a message with Send within 24-hour window and additional socket Next Step?If a user doesn’t click the botton, I won’t be able to send any follow-ups, is that correct? If so, the whole sequence shown in the video doesn’t work. There should be another node in-between the initial message with a button and Actio

Hello Manychat Team, We are building a chatbot for example : restaurantHere is our exact situation:Bot Requirements we want customers to browse our menu through the chatbot.Example:Main Category:✔ Dosa✔ Pizza✔ Sandwich✔ JuiceWhen the user clicks Dosa, we want to show sub-menu items like: Masala Dosa Cheese Dosa Mysore Dosa Paneer Dosa Onion Dosa And each item should be a clickable button.When the customer clicks Masala Dosa, the bot should automatically send: Name Phone number City Food Name …to our CRM (Corefactors) via webhook ( after asking this from a user )The Problem We Are FacingManychat only allows 3 buttons per card / per message block.This means:❌ We cannot show all dosa items in one card❌ Our menu list is too long❌ When we send menu items they are going as plain text, they are not clickable❌ User is forced to type the menu item manually, which we don’t wantThis makes menu navigation very difficult.Our Question to ManychatWe want to know if there is any way in M

I am having such a hard time connecting my ManyChat to my Instagram. I’m doing it all on my phone, since my laptop is having issues, and maybe that’s the problem? But every time I try to connect to Instagram, it says it’s already linked. I’ll hit “continue with Instagram” then to “ManyChats wants to use manychat.com to sign in. Allow?” so then I hit “continue” then it pulls up another connect to _____ account. Allow” and then it pulls up with “we noticed this Instagram account is already connected to manychat” and I can’t figure out how to get it to work. Anybody know what to do? This is a problem I’ve been dealing with for WEEKS and I haven’t found anything that will help me- not google, not the ManyChat help page. 

Hi, so I have all set up properly, my IG connected and all the automation done to say HI to my new followers.But its not triggering anything.Any ideas?  

Hi ManyChat Support,Our TikTok account @kmd_education is currently connected to an unknown ManyChat workspace.We have revoked all app permissions inside TikTok, removed login devices, and attempted all available connection options in ManyChat, but the platform still says the TikTok account is already connected elsewhere.We cannot identify the workspace or user who originally connected it.Could you please manually force-disconnect our TikTok account @kmd_education from any ManyChat workspace so we can connect it to our current workspace?Here is proof that we own the TikTok account. Thank you! 

Hi! Where did the setting go that let me choose how my name and photo appear when I reply to customers through the Manychat inbox?
