General Q&A

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?

First of all, sorry — I’m really new to all of this and I’m still trying to understand how to use automations properly.Here’s the automation I want to build, but I haven’t been able to make it work. I’ve tried several ways to connect with ChatGPT, but even when I follow the tutorials step by step, I always get the same problem: the field appears empty and I get a CUF response. I’m desperate at this point.This is the flow I want to create: Someone comments on a specific post. If someone comments, I want to check if they follow me. If they don’t follow me, I want to send them a DM asking them to follow me. If they already follow me, then I want to send a different message with a question and wait for their reply. When they reply, I want ChatGPT to process their answer and: send their response to a Google Sheet with the date, username, and answer, and (now disconnected) send them a reply generated by ChatGPT based on what they said. After that ChatGPT reply, the flow en

Im having a problem sending a video inside a message, everytime i add one video (less then 24mb and .mp4) it works on preview but dont delivery in the real chat, can someone help me? im from Portugal.

Hi,We have WhatsApp Automations and had always used smart delays in them. Now we are not able to update the Automations because we get this error message: Set Delay duration of less than 24 hours for delivering the next messages. Do you have similar experiences? And how can it be fixed?

On Meta Business The status is “connected” but on manychat is “pending” for the Whatsapp.What could be?

I'm testing automations for automatic responses on Instagram. It happens to me that the first test with the same user (the one who asks) to do the test works correctly, but if I want to test the automation with the same test user the automation does not work, if it does if I ask with another new user, but the second question doesn't work.Does the automation work only once per user or do I need to configure something else?Note: at the moment I am using the free version, and then if the product works for me, I will move on to the paid version.thank you

THIS IS MY AUTOMATION: https://app.manychat.com/flowPlayerPage?share_hash=3714700_c8361ccf29cb0511208124afc1ec5dbe08339629  🚨 Issue: Voiceflow Agent + ManyChat Instagram DM Not Responding CorrectlyI’m using a Voiceflow Agent (the OmniFusion AI template) connected to ManyChat for Instagram DM.Everything should run fully through Voiceflow, including the AI-generated buttons.But I’m facing two big issues:❌ 1. Sometimes the bot suddenly replies with just “true”The conversation works for a few messages, and then out of nowhere ManyChat receives the response:true– No text– No AI answer– No buttons– The flow breaks completelyIt seems like Voiceflow stops sending normal responses and sends that “true” value instead.❌ 2. Voiceflow generates buttons, but ManyChat never receives themInside Voiceflow, the agent does generate dynamic UI buttons (choices).But ManyChat never receives those buttons in the response.So Instagram cannot show: Quick Replies Choice buttons Any UI elements This makes t

Hello, I am new to Manychat. I have been working in marketing for several years and would like to start my own business helping small businesses automate their tools, including Instagram. Is it possible to have a kind of professional account so that I can access several client accounts that they themselves could also access, but without having to share login details?The aim would be to support them in using Manychat, creating sequences and automations for them, but allowing them to retain control over these in the future. Is this feasible? Which plan should I choose? Thank you in advance!

I am signing up my clients for manychat and of course wanting to get referral commission. If I create an account for them and connect their pages and help them with sign -up process this counts as a referral assuming I use my affiliate link? Also, I would use my socials to connect their page and ad account as I am doing a DFY managed service, would this affect how it shows up as a referral or do they need to connect from their social profile initialy. Thanks!Austin

Hello!This sounds silly, but I can’t get connected to ManyChat.For almost a year now, I keep trying to play with the connection, and it says I have an account and it’s connected to my IG, however it says ‘Virtual Assistant already connected to Virtual Assistant.Switch Instagram to continue with another account or request access from the owner of Virtual Assistant.’….except I am the owner.I have spent a significant amount of time searching for somewhere i have to approve this, and including in Meta, and cannot find anything.I really want to be using ManyChat, but I truly can’t figure out how to work around this issue.Please help.

Hi! Im trying to create the new automation to autodm new followers and it asks me to update my permissions. The it takes me to this page but it allways throw an error.  The error says > You can't log in with this Instagram account. Try using a Facebook account that you know is connected to this Instagram account.

Hi everyone, I’m facing a serious issue with my Instagram account and I’d love some help or insights from the community. Whenever someone tries to follow me, a pop-up appears saying “Beware of potential scams” and shows my account creation date with a confirmation button. My account is old, active, and I post regularly. It’s verified on Meta with my ID — so this warning makes my account look suspicious even though my activity is 100% authentic. Since it started, my daily follower count dropped from 100+ per day to barely 10 😩 I’ve already contacted Instagram support. They told me to reinstall the app, but that didn’t fix anything. The only thing I can think of is that I use Manychat (a Meta partner) to send automated messages when people comment on my posts asking for free resources. It works really well — people engage a lot — but I’m wondering if this automation could have triggered the warning. Has anyone here experienced the same issue or found a fix?Any help or advice would be hu

Subject: HTTP Request - Variables showing as "undefined" & Test Contact not foundHi Manychat Community,I'm setting up an HTTP Request action to send data to my n8n automation via webhook, but I'm running into two issues:Issue 1: Variables are "undefined" When I add variables (Contact Id, Last Text Input, Full Contact Data) to the Request Body, the Preview shows "Invalid JSON - Variables are not defined". I've tried using the blue variable buttons (not typing them manually), but they still appear as undefined.Current Request Body setup:json{ "user_id": "[Contact Id]", "message": "[Full Contact Data]", "text": "[Last Text Input]"}Issue 2: Cannot select test contact In the "Contact for testing" field, I type "monschke495" (which definitely exists in my Contacts - see attached screenshot), but it shows "No Items Found". The contact is subscribed and active in my contact list.What I've tried:Using the "+ Add Full Contact Data" option Using "{+} Add a Field" to insert variables indivi

I'm testing WhatsApp automation. The automation is triggered by the user, but it doesn't respond. I tested it with a pre-made template, and it doesn't work either. The log shows that the automation was triggered, but no WhatsApp messages were received.HiThe "Automate Appointment Scheduling" automation was triggered.

Hi everyone,I’m hoping someone here has experienced this before. My Instagram Business account is connected to ManyChat and I can see new contacts appear in my Audience list when they send me a DM — but no automation replies are sent at all.Here’s everything I’ve tried so far: Tested on a new ManyChat account with a simple “send hi” flow — same result. Confirmed Instagram account is Business (not Creator/Personal). Tried with multiple external IG accounts to trigger the flow. Flow is published, trigger is a keyword, and the first step is a simple message. Checked in Live Chat — incoming DMs appear, but automation doesn’t start. Followed ManyChat support’s Instagram Automation Troubleshooting steps: Refreshed Facebook/Instagram permissions. Reset ManyChat permissions in Facebook Business Integrations. Verified messaging settings (“Allow access to messages” is ON). Checked Handover Protocol in Facebook Page settings. No age/country restrictions. Even t

Hey! I am setting up a new follower DM automation and I am asking a each new follower a question. They then click on a button to answer the question and then are supposed to be sent a reel. But I can only figure out how to send the reel where it opens a browser inside the Instagram app. It doesn’t just take them straight to the reel. See screenshots for context. Is there a better way to do this?  I am just adding the URL of the reel to the bottom action. But this opens it in Instagram as if you’re opening an external link. Any tips?  

I am experiencing an issue with the integration between ManyChat and Instagram. Whenever my customers respond to automatic messages sent through ManyChat, their responses go to the "General" inbox on Instagram instead of the "Primary" inbox. This is causing me to miss important interactions since I don't see these messages right away.I have tried adjusting settings in both ManyChat and Instagram, but I haven't been able to find a solution. I would appreciate any help on how to make sure that the automated messages from ManyChat are directed to the "Primary" inbox instead of "General." Please help me 😭

Hi, I am a pro account holder with you, and I need assistance with running an email campaign in ManyChat to inform my clients about my Black Friday discounts. Currently, I can only access Instagram features, which is preventing me from sending the campaign. I feel forced to rely on low-quality, free servers for this, and it's not ideal. Additionally, I have set up a feature to collect my customer's email addresses through Instagram chat and have gathered about 4,000 contacts (subscriptions) in ManyChat. Unfortunately, Many Chat software only displays phone numbers or Facebook IDs, which do not meet my needs, as I require the email addresses. I urgently need your help with the following: 1. Enable my Pro account to send an email campaign to all of my 4,000 contacts (and more in the future). 2. Retrieve the email addresses I collected through ManyChat automations as soon as possible.  Thank you!

Hi, I have been having issues with Manychat ever since I opened my account and have never used it. I tried to set up the auto dm for new followers but I keep getting a refresh permissions pop up. I have been through all the steps to  refresh these and keep getting the message to say they have been refreshed successfully but when i try to set up the automation, the pop up comes back. I have chatted with the support bot twice and submitted a ticket that hasn’t been actioned yet. I seem to have mixed API according to the bot and have worked through all these steps. My personal fb is connected, my business fb is connected as well as my IG account.  Does anyone have any advice or suggestions because it is driving me nuts.   This is the pop up I keep getting.  Thanks   

HI all, thank you for the quick response.I need your help with the following.All flows begin with triggers is what I noticed.So If flow 1 has triggers but flow 2 doesn’t.Will flow 2 still start when Flow 1 initiates it (with the Start automation feature) ?

Hello! I'm trying to set up a reminder for our upcoming automation where people can sign up for our ticket drop by sending their email in the DMs. One hour before we release the tickets, we’d like to send them a reminder through DM – but this would exceed the 24-hour time limit rule.I’ve tried talking to the AI bot for help, and I get the impression there might be an exception to this rule. However, whenever I ask for step-by-step guidance, it just sends me in circles.Anyone who know the answer to this?Thank you.– Sofie

Hi everyone,I’ve built an Instagram DM chatbot using ManyChat + n8n, and I’m facing an inconsistent delivery issue.The flow works sometimes, but for other messages, ManyChat does not send the response back to Instagram, and I can’t identify any pattern. The behaviour is completely random: No specific keywords trigger failure No pattern in message length or content No errors in ManyChat logs No errors in n8n logs n8n generates the response successfully every single time Only ManyChat fails to send it back intermittently It’s not intentional automation filtering, simply a random fail/pass pattern with the same flow.I’ll attach the details and logs for reference.Setup:Using N8N with Groq LLM to power an Instagram DM chatbot via ManyChat Workflow: Instagram DM → ManyChat (External Request) → N8N → ManyChat (Send Message) → Instagram This manyChat flow doesn’t have a keyword or intention recognition; it directly forwards all messages to N8N, which was the main goal to forward all
