Adding a follow up dm to a flow

Hey brains trust!I'm trying to add a follow up dm after someone's asked for my freebie.I'm just not sure if the steps are connected, there is no arrow in between the first message and the smart delay action and i'm not sure if i'm meant to link them somehow?See screenshot below of the flow I created - Appreciate any help!!!

What do I need to do to start building an Instagram bot for others (different Instagram accounts)?

I'm interested in building Automatic Replies to Instagram Post Comments, both for myself and mainly for others (different clients, different Instagram accounts). And the question is how can I do this and what do I need for this? Thanks

Bot responding to IG comments that don't include a keyword

I have automations set up for Instagram to simply send a link via DM when someone uses a specific keyword in the comments on a post. I make sure to chose unique keywords so that an automation won’t be sent in response to unrelated comments. However the ManyChat bot just responded to an IG comment that didn’t use the keyword associated with that automation, or anything even remotely like the keyword, and I can’t figure out why. I can’t see anything in my settings that might be causing this, but maybe I’m missing something. Has anyone else experienced this? If the bot can be activated randomly, I can’t use this service.

manychat direct messages to spam

Hello, how are you? I have a problem with the Instagram chatbot, the DMs are not reaching the new readers, I was carrying out tests and in many cases the notification does not reach them, it remains hidden, as if it were spam, it is answered the comment indicating that the information will be sent and if I check the message tray it shows that the message was sent but if I go to the test profile I get nothing, neither the notification nor the pending message, nothing is shown until I write to the account. Could someone guide me, since I am losing money

IG COMMENTS AUTOMATION

Hey guys, I just got the pro version of Manychat and I am trying to do my first automation. Its basically: a person comments a keyword on my IG post and I just send them a dm with my link. I think it should all be working and there are no errors, it just doesnt work in practice. I even tried to the preview option in IG, but that also doesnt do anything. Could any of you please help me because I am currently getting overwhelmed with the comments.

How to Train AI inside ManyChat

Hello everyone,I’m in the process of creating an automation that responds to FAQ or sends the client to a Live Agent if the issue is not resolved.I’m doing this by using the AI Step but I haven’t found a way to import my company’s knowledge base into ManyChat.Does anyone know how I can do this?Or how else can I train the AI inside ManyChat to answer questions based on my company’s knowledge base?Thank you!

Keyword option not appearing in Free Account

I have a free account as I am a new user trying the platform and also only starting my small business.All ads show that KEYWORDS is a function available on the free account and I have watched multiple video tutorials and read all instructions but there is NO KEYWORD OPTION visible in my Trigger search, or automations page, which is where the tutorials say it should be?Is there something I’m missing, or a different place this should be appearing? Cannot see the function anywhere.

Can Manychat send a DM from an ad?

So, what we want to happen is that if someone comments "unicorn" on an ad, like a feed ad, ManyChat will send them a message. Right now, it seems they only respond to comments on regular posts in our feed, not on feed post ads.

Live chat remove/block

Hey guys. Is there a way to disable Live Chat visibility for specific members or users? I need to manage client automations without violating their privacy by having the access to their Live Chat messages. Perhaps an editor role with restricted Live Chat access(viewing) could be a solution.Thank you .

Every contact pass through automation but only few messages sent

I have an issue with the following automation : As you can see, 61 contacts passed through my automation, but only 3 messages were sent. It seems like the issue comes with the delay because when I put a 10 seconds delay it works perfectly fine.Do you have an idea on how I could solve this issue and having message sent for every contact that passed the delay?

Delete custom contact fields

Hey guys! Hope you are having a good day.My automation has a custom contact field that gets filled once the user started a conversation. However my automation starts if this field is unknown, as it gets a value when the automation runs. In my use case, there are some users that write on a daily basis, so what I am doing right now is creating new custom fields every day and modifying my automation with them. Is is possible to erase all the values that a contact field has taken without having to go through every single conversation/contact? That would save me a lot of time as I would not need to update my automation every single day.Thank you in advance.Juan David

Issue with Multi-line Messages from Instagram Direct and External Requests in ManyChat

I'm facing an issue with ManyChat and Instagram Direct messages and could use some help.When I receive a message from Instagram Direct in ManyChat, I store it in a variable called message and then send it to a server using an external request. Everything works fine except when the user uses the enter key to go to the next line in their message. Because the message goes to the next line, using this variable in the JSON body causes an error.For example:Message:Hello How are you? External request JSON body:{ "message": "message" } This causes a problem because the JSON body ends up looking like this:{ "message": "HelloHow are you?" } The problem is that \n is not being used for multi-line messages, which breaks the JSON structure.Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue? I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions.Thank you!

External Request Working Fine But Won't Create Contact

I’m trying to sync Manychat with Active Campaign and have set up the appropriate external request. When email address changes to “any value” trigger external request “update/create contact.”The external request triggers just fine but the contact does not get created in my account.However, I am seeing a 403 Forbidden message and I have no clue what that means. Very frustrating.
