General Q&A

Is it possible to connect the same WhatsApp Business number to more than one account? 

I have three Instagram accounts from different companies registered on my ManyChat, each with specific automation. I noticed that there is automation from Instagram account X running on account Y. How can I prevent this from happening?

Hi, My Manychats account keeps coming up with the error ‘to connect to your instagram you must link your facebook’My instagram is linked to my facebook, but for some reason it is not letting me connect many chats to it. It allows me to connect manychats to facebook though – super confusing…I’ve spoken to the Bot, but it is useless. I believe it could be the fact that the last Social Media team has connect to many chats in the past, but never actually used it. So its may be already linked to a manychats account.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Harry

I am encountering the error message 'Something went wrong with your card. Please check your bank payment history or try again using another card' while making a payment and am unable to renew. Does anyone have a solution for this issue?

Hi community,New user here 😀It’s been the second day I am still trying to integrate manychat, whatsapp and google sheets.probably the problem is super easy for you gents, but anyway. I have now built event a one block flow, just to see some data being populated in Google sheets … but still no luck.I have attached the flow and actions configuration. Really, where is the problem?Thank you very much,Cip  

I logged into my business Instagram page just fine via MC and can see all my posts etc, even after refreshing permissions it sees my accounts in Meta, but none of my live automations go through, I’ve tried different DM automations and ‘comment’ ones as well. I’ve tried following step by step looking inside of Meta / Facebook settings but it seems like a lot of the instructions are out dated or I’m having trouble finding the right areas inside of Meta as to how to link ManyChat to the page properly, I think that may be the issue. Any help would be much appreciated here.

Hi, I'm trying to set up automated public replies to Instagram comments (not DMs). My automation triggers correctly (runs are counted), but no replies appear under the posts. I've tested with different accounts, reconnected Instagram, and checked all permissions. Can you help me figure out why public comment replies aren't posting? Is there something specific I need to enable or configure? Thanks!

User: “Hi, I need to know the cost for this product?”ManyChat: “Hi! Glad to have you here… (Flow starts)”I need help.I want to capture the first message the user sends when they contact us.But I don’t see any option in ManyChat to automatically save that first input.How can I fix this issue?

I am a new user of ManyChat and I have created few “Auto-DM links from comments”, but I am limited to 3 links only. How can I do to send more links to my community?

Hello everyone,I'm hoping to get some help from the community, as I've hit a wall with an Instagram API issue and I'm completely out of ideas.My Goal: I'm building a bot that uses an external service (Make.com with OpenAI) to generate and send replies to users. Everything works perfectly inside the 24-hour window. The problem is sending messages outside that window.Here's what I've tried (my troubleshooting journey):Official Make.com Module: I started with the standard "ManyChat" module in Make.com. Result: The module reported status: success, but the message was never delivered to Instagram. I assume it was silently blocked by Meta for a content/tag mismatch. Direct HTTP API Call: I then switched to a direct API call to https://api.manychat.com/fb/sending/sendContent to get more control and see the raw errors. This is where it got strange. Using HUMAN_AGENT tag: When I use this tag, the API immediately returns a 400 Bad Request error with the message: "Unsupported message tag". Usin

My auto DMs have stopped working for all my posts even though it says LIVE on all of them. The new post from yesterday isn’t even showing on my Manychat profile - it’s got over 600 comments already for the recipe but I can't use Manychat since it’s been stuck like this since yesterday. Someone please help!!!!

I am setting up an automation from scratch for a Facebook post. I want to send a message after 30 minutes if the client does not click the link. But, this seems to be sending it to everyone, even if they click the link. What do I need to change?  

Hello! I have just a subscription with Many that last 29th November 2025, but I am having a problem issue not able to log-in and connecting with my Facebook account. Please see below screenshot image below and help me how to solve this problem.  

I'm having a problem I can't solve. Even after disabling URL shortening, when I create a WhatsApp button with a link, before going to the domain I defined, it goes through the domain https://mc.ht/

Hi I run Facebook ads and get a bunch of FB messenger leads I have to negotiate with daily l. I can spend 6 -8 hours daily  negotiating.  I would like to automate this? Is this possible to do with manychat?Basically I have a base price I buy items for, eg...itemA $X. Item B $Y etc....but then if there is an issue like a broken light or broken light plus broken glass  for example then the quote needs to be lowered.  Anyway there is always negotiations back and forth so it would be a spectacular if this negotiation process could be automated. So can manychat negotiate for me?. Cheers  John 

I’m trying to setup an Instagram and a FB Ad Trigger that is based on the conditions of following both respective channels. I believe the triggers need to be live before I can connect the Ads Manager to ManyChat, but I keep getting weird setup errors like “You can’t use Next Step for the first message with Facebook Ads trigger” and “Add at least one Quick Reply to the first message to set up Instagram Ads”.I’ve tried troubleshooting these by redoing the flow from scratch, but it’s just not working.

Is there any way to prevent yourWhatsapp co-existence from triggering automations for the recipient? If a team reaches out tp someody through the app. It triggers the default automation and causes confusion.

How can I make a global keyword like “Return” that ALWAYS interrupts the flow and sends the user back to the main menu, no matter where they are in the conversation?Thank you!

Hello the community,I’ve launched an automation today with Manychat for the first time. “Auto-DM links from comments”. I’ve got 4 comments on my publication and the automation worked. But now, I received a mesasge on Facebook Messenger from a customer, and I can’t reply. I found this error in my Meta Business Suite : “Due to regional privacy rules, some Inbox features and messaging-related insights may be unavailable.”Could it be linked with my newly Manychat use? How to solve this asap? Thanks

Can the chatbot respond to ads enabled through meta ads manager? Because I had the same problem when I used a different chatbot platform, and the automation only worked for organic traffic, it couldn't respond to ads enabled through meta ads manager. Even though I enabled ads placed in a ready-made post for advertising
