Automation Delayed or Not Triggered

Recently, automation either fails to start or is delayed by about 30 minutes, possibly due to the Google Sheets integration. However, initial tasks like adding a tag or updating a custom field still run successfully.

Instagram DMs + Live Customer Service via RichPanel/Gorgias/ETC

Hey all - just wondering what the best way to handle this scenario is. Up til now we’ve been using RichPanel (customer service tool, similar to helpscout, gorgias, etc). And every instagram DM arrives via ticket so our customer service team can reply within Richpanel.I want to setup Manychat so that we have automations running and only the messages that our automations cannot handle will be sent as a ticket to our customer service agents.Can someone point me to a tutorial or best practices documentation for this?

Exact same message going out on my automations!

Gang - No matter what I program (from scratch or using templates), my automations are sending out the same message from an old campaign. It was some “get the checklist” post, and now it continues going out.HELP and THANK YOU!

New Instagram DM Feature makes the automation stopped

Hi there, My name is @benakribo from Indonesia. So recently i got this pop up notification on my DM (please see attachment) where a person should accept us in a DM before we can send any DM messages to them. What happened to my Manychat bot is that the bot is working at first, but then i cannot send any follow up DM because the person has not accepted me to be able to DM him/her.Anyone having the same problem?I will post more case that i found in another thread. Please join the discussion also.Thanks!

Help Setting Up MC

Hi, I cannot get back on ManyChat. Previously, I had a MC account tied to a different email (which is still my IG email). But I had a major Facebook hack and lost everything - including access to that email.So, now, I have a Facebook page with a new email, but I still have my old email on Instagram. When I try to set up ManyChat, I get something that shows my IG account and says, “Switch Instagram to contue with another account or request access from the owner of Thd Seasoned Homemaker | Quilter | Pattern Writer | Blogger.” Then below there is a blue button that says, “Switch Account” and a grayed out button with a check and Request Sent”Where is the request being sent - I can’t find it in IG or FB and this is the only place that I get to when I try connecting my IG account. Please help me get this sorted.Thank you.

Broadcast list message sending twice, but incorrectly

Hi - I have an account set up to send an invitation to our broadcast list on a timer set to go out 23 hours after the last interaction with a contact.The invitation is being sent correctly initially with the message inviting them join and then the follow up button where they can actually opt in. You can see that in this photo: But then, about an hour later it sends the initial message again, but without the follow up opt in message. See below: This has been happening for several days on multiple conversations so far.Obviously we don’t want it sending that first message twice - and especially not without an option to actually sign up 😅Any ideas on why it’s doing this?

Issue with Passing Variables in HTTP Requests and Intermittent Functionality

I am developing an integration between ManyChat and the OpenAI API to create an interactive chat experience, personalizing a virtual assistant based on user inputs. The process involves capturing a description provided by the user, storing it in a Custom User Field (CUF) in ManyChat, and using this variable in an HTTP request to the OpenAI API.I have encountered difficulties in getting the variable containing the user's description to be recognized and properly processed in the JSON structure of the HTTP request body. The "Send External Request" action is configured with all necessary details, including the OpenAI API URL, POST method, and header (Content-Type: application/json), but the CUF variable does not seem to be transmitted properly.Furthermore, after several hours of attempting, the functionality sometimes starts working as expected, only to stop working again without any changes on my part. This leads me to question whether there might be a call limit or similar restriction t

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

Need Help Fixing Link Opening Issue in Instagram DMs on Android Phones

Hi everyone,I'm hoping to get some advice on a specific issue I'm facing with my Instagram account linked to ManyChat. I've set up ManyChat to send automated DMs with a link to my app whenever someone comments a certain word on my video. It works well, except for a problem I'm encountering with Android users.When these users receive the DM and click on the link, Instagram asks them to click "Continue" to open the external browser. However, the external browser doesn't open as it should. The workaround seems to be that users need to go into their Instagram settings and manually allow external links to be opened from DMs, but realistically, no one is going to do that.Has anyone else encountered this issue? Any tips on how I can fix this so that the link opens directly in an external browser on Android phones without requiring users to change their settings?Appreciate any help or insights you can provide!

The message is sent as soon as there is a reaction to a post or story except that's not what I asked for

Good morning,I configured my Manychat to send a message following a specific keyword. However, it sends this as soon as there is a reaction to a story or reality... that's not what I asked... what should I do? Also, is it possible to add other comments later after sending my webinar?

Can AI Step detect a file/image?

Hi, i am using AI Step, so i added a Task than when a user send an image or a file the AI will response a particular message. But it seems it cant detect it. Or how can i do it?

Hi team, My understanding is that Manychat will ONLY connect with page, not profiles. Is that right?Secondly, Messenger Kids will only connect with profiles, right?We are launching a membership for kids around healthy eating, and if the parents give permission, want to provide the education and content directly to the children (without any option for them to upgrade or spend money or anything of the sort). I want to find a way to make this work. Any ideas?Thanks so much.
