Help Needed: Correct JSON Structure for Nested Questions and Answers in Facebook Conversation Ads

Hello Community,I'm trying to set up a multi-step question-and-answer flow for Facebook Messenger Conversation Ads. Each answer should lead users into a different discovery funnel of further questions and answers. However, my attempts are not triggering conversations correctly.What I Tried:Here is my latest JSON attempt: json :{ "message": { "attachment": { "type": "template", "payload": { "template_type": "button", "text": "Hi! Please let us know how we can help you", "buttons": [ { "title": "Show me the product!", "type": "web_url", "url": "http://www.example.com/" }, { "title": "Tell me more", "type": "postback", "payload": { "template_type": "button", "text": "H

Facebook Messenger buttons

Is there a way to add more than 3 buttons in a message? i need to present a lot of categories for the user to choose from and the quick reply isn’t working well for all users and they can also write whatever they want which can mess up with the flow. i need to find a way to restrict their selection to my options only.

Using Manychat and other API based tools simultaneously

Hello! I’m struggling to get Manychat to work when I have other tools managing Instagram DMs as well. Most help center articles talk about primary/secondary handover protocols, etc... but Meta has changed a lot since most were written. Did you need to adjust anything under Advanced Messaging or Instagram conversation routing to get two to work at the same time, or if that impossible by design?

Will duplicate DMs get send on comment>DM automation?

I will be running a giveaway on Instagram in honor of Small Business Saturday. The way people enter is to tag someone in the comments and they can tag as many people as they want in separate comments. I would love to set up an automation where they will receive a link to subscribe to my email list after they’ve commented, but I’m worried is someone comments more than once they will receive duplicate links for my email list. How can I avoid that?

How can I send a message to everyone?

I want to send everyone a message at once, how can I send it? It shows 0 subscribers in the target audience, but I have up to 2000 messages

Automations whit programmed posts

Hello! I’m new using manychat and for now I only have the free plan (will get the paid plan soon) and so far I had to publish my posts and just then add the automations, which is not very easy for me since I work overseas for a company in Italy (10 hour time difference). I was wondering, with the paid plan, can I set my automations up even on a programmed post? I mainly post on instagram, facebook and tiktok. I didn’t see anything here about tiktok, but for instagram and facebook is that possible? And if so, is possible just if I program the posts through Meta Business Suite or is it possibile even if I use another app to program my posts? Any answers are welcome since I’m kind of lost here. Thank you so much!!

Subscription didn't cancel properly

Did anyone have a problem with cancelling ManyChat Pro subscriptions? I definitely canceled mine well before the next billing date only to find out that the subscription was still active. I was charged the bill accordingly even when I DEFINITELY cancelled well before the next billing date of May 23, 2024. What the hell, ManyChat? Your Pro product had its bugs and hiccups even for $45, your support replies take forever, and you can’t even process a subscription cancellation request correctly? I got dusted by my boss because of you!

Issue with a sequence

I’ve created a sequence so I make a bulk action of taking the Email System Field and applying the same info into a Custom Field (I want to be able to search emails via a Zap), but for some reason it won’t apply to action - does anyone have insights as to why that might be the case?

How can I check for multiple message responses from user inputs?

I’m currently trying to find a way where:After a user sends their response to my question with the instagram free keyword input after I ask a question on IG, obviously it getts stored and I save it as a custom value.BUT many times a user will reply with an additional 1-5 extra back to back messages as well.I want to be able to store all the separate messages as their own custom values inside manychat, so I’m able to properly let the system know the full context of their answer and check for keywords from each one.Although, I haven’t been able to find a way to get ManyChat to properly store multiple messages as seperate values when they’re getting sent back to back like it would be in real conversation practice. Does anyone have any ideas how I can make this work?I’ve tried, storing the first message as DM 1 ,then have the system check the last text input and if it changed to any value,and if it did: then set that new value as DM 2 , and repeat this process for up to 6 different message

My instagram wont connect even after following troubleshooting steps

I’ve seen loads of documents going through all the troubleshooting for this.My instagram is a creator account under 500k, so it is eligible.As for FB, I have my main personal profile and an added profile from my main which is the profile I will sync posting with for my insta. Manychat seemed to want a business page rather than a profile so I created one under my personal FB profile (wouldn’t let me on the other one) and have now linked my insta to that business page but I’d really rather somehow link it to the business profile rather than a page as I don’t want my personal fb friends being able to find and follow my business account as I like to keep the 2 worlds separate and I know fb pushes things out far too wide for my liking.But even with this fb page linked it still won’t come up as an option for instagram. I considered just creating another fb to log into Manychat with but every time I try to log in with FB it only lets me log in with the one I logged in with before or it goes

Automated message after a comment DM reply if the lead didn't reply to it after a certain time

Hey! I’m wondering if there’s any way I can automate something that takes a lot of time. IG plaftormI’m sending a free resource to my audience, after they comment with a certain keyword they get the resource sent automatically via DM’s. What I’m looking to do is, if they don’t reply within a certain timeline, I want a message to be sent to them automatically so I won’t have to manually do that for +200 people/day.

Facebook Autocomment : limitation , and best customizations ?

I'm new to ManyChat and have some questions about the auto-comment feature. Specifically: Are there any limitations on the number of auto-comments I can use per day or per account, either imposed by ManyChat or Facebook? I'm only interested in posting comments, not collecting contacts. How can I set a delay (e.g., a few seconds) between each comment to avoid getting flagged or banned by Facebook? Can I use ManyChat's auto-comment feature on posts within Facebook groups that I'm a member of?

"Get Updates" button not working (recurring broadcast)

I’ve had the recurring broadcast opt-in set up since it was released and it did work fine. Now in the past several weeks it doesn’t work. When someone clicks “get updates” nothing happens. I’ve contacted support but they haven’t fixed it. Something about being overloaded. Please can someone help? This is crucial for my business. Thanks!

marcotavUp-and-Comer

hi, I would like my automation to stop at the 2nd step waiting for my signal.I'll explain how it's set up.WhatsappAt the second step the customer must wait for my response where I confirm the booking or not. I would like two buttons visible just for me, one with yes written and one with no written. If yes, the customer will proceed with 3 steps, while if no, they will have a different type of message.is it possible to do it?
