Automations working yesterday -- not working today

I created a new account yesterday, IG connected no problem. I set up my first automation yesterday, and tested it with a static post from a while back. Worked beautifully.Today I went to set up a new automation for a Reel I was about to post and I selected the “Next Post or Reel” option for the trigger. I used the same trigger words, replies and links from the last automation so I know the text/copy/flow should all be good. It didn't work – no automations are sending.I tried editing the previously successful automation from yesterday and adding a new trigger so that anyone who comments the same keywords on any post gets the reply, but it's still not working. Even the automation that was working yesterday on the static post isn't working. None of them are working.I tried refreshing the connection permissions multiple times. Still nothing.Can anyone help? I specifically tested it yesterday so that I wouldn't run into this issue today as this was a really important post for me to launch.

People are commenting on my reels and I have the auto responses set up, it’s not working suddenly and hasn’t been all week. Help!

Problème d'intégration Chat GPT

Bonjour à tous, Je souhaitais intégrer chatGPT à Messenger mais j’ai l’impression que les requêtes n’arrivent pas jusqu’à Chat GPT ; quand je regarde les journaux, j’obtiens le message suivant (voir PJ). Je n’ai pourtant pas dépassé le seul car je n’ai encore fait aucune requête. Par ailleurs, j’ai chat GPT plus mais je ne peux pas sélectionner GPT 4 dans le flowSi quelqu’un à la (ou les) solution ce serait super !

Meta business verification for whatsappp automation

Is it necessary to verify your business from meta in order to use whatsapp automation ?I’m working with a remote matketing agency and the verification requires them to submit a utility bill which ofcourse they cannot provide.

Can I reply with different comment if I can't send DM in Instagram?

I have the keyword comment to DM setup for instagram, and some people's settings do not let them receive DMs"This account can't receive your message because they don't allow new message requests from everyone."Instead of replying to their comment "sent! check your dms!" can manychat recognize that they can't receive messages and send a different replay "I can't DM you, you can check the link in my bio"?I've seen one creator do this, not sure if he's using manychat.

My automation keeps mixing buttons in Android phones

I’ve tested an automation that worked perfectly on iPhones, but it keeps duplicating buttons from other steps when on an Android phone. And for the same phone the buttons keep changing for the same steps. What’s wrong and what should I do? There’s nothing wrong on the steps I created.

How do I contact support?

Basic automations are not loading and the link to the help zendesk is broken. 😠

Is there no support for this app whatsoever?

FAQs and a chat bot that loops back to itself when trying to open a ticket?… fantastic. I would like to know about the main issues with this app as we are using SendPulse and it is giving us message and automation issues. Apparently this app is partnered with Meta?What I did is rebuild our entire flow from SendPulse into ManyChat. But we are not going to ‘shift’ to this app without understanding its application and use in terms of what we need. Also, I think our account is a professional account and it says in the pricing that technical support is available as an additional feature? I don’t see that anywhere. so, if someone could explain to me precisely where I can find support?According to my research this app experience problems just as SendPulse does with automated messages. So if someone from actual support can get back to me via my email, that would be fantastic because we are looking for a proper solution. Thank you

Stop automation after a specific date even if a user is already in the middle of it

Hello ManyChat Community,I hope you're all doing well!I have a question regarding managing automations in ManyChat. I would like to know if there is a way to stop an automation after a specific date, even if a user is already in the middle of it. Essentially, I need to ensure that when a user clicks on any buttons in the flow after the set date, the automation either:Displays a specific message indicating that the automation has ended, or Does nothing and prevents the flow from continuing.Has anyone tackled this issue before, or can anyone offer some guidance on how to set this up? I’d really appreciate any advice or solutions you might have.Thanks in advance for your help!Sara

Whatsapp Leads from a physical location

Hello! Would like to create a flow to collect physical WhatsApp Leads.I've done it before for Facebook Ads sending them to Whatsapp, but not sure how to send people that are physically in the location... what would be the best way?Using a QR code? or a NFC chip? How can I differentiate the leads coming from different QR Codes in Manychat? Because nowadays I have a trigger when someone types anything. Should it be based on what they type? or is there another way to know when it is coming based on the QR code por example? TIA

Help Needed: Instagram Reels Not Reaching Non-Followers After Successful Automation Launch

Hi awesome community!I'm currently running ManyChat automations for my newsletter Instagram page about innovation news. I post every day with a different ManyChat automation for each news article. I've been running the automation for a month now. The first three weeks were great, with an increase in engagement, comments, likes, etc. The page was growing!However, in the last week, Instagram suddenly stopped pushing my reels to non-followers. Currently, my last videos haven't reached any non-followers...Has anyone else experienced this or knows what might be causing this problem?

Using a Twilio number to connect with Manychat - Message failure

Any pointers please..?I have a twilio number which is correctly connected to Manychat. I am also using the Textmagic sms platform to send outgoing SMS messages which include a ‘Keyword’ which should trigger a Manychat SMS flow.The process has worked several times up until today. When the required Keyword is entered into the reply SMS message, instead of triggering the Manychat SMS flow, another SMS message (not initiated by the flow) is sent to the sender which reads “Reply STOP to unsubscribe”.It looks like I have missed something, but Im not sure what. Advice appreciated - Cheers :-)

I'm already connected one of my Instagram account, but I don't know with Facebook account, how can I fix this ?
