General Q&A

In manychat whatsapp, how i can force a trigger for any text message or image, i do not want to use contain or is or uch formuals. i tried dos not contain XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX but it did not save my settings.  

Hi,I have been going round in circles with chat support trying to get this to work. It seems there is a blockage on my instagram business account that isn’t sending to new follower - it hasn’t sent to anyone. It tells me to go onto messaging tools in settings on instagram but I can never find the settings or toggles to turn on/off in the first place. I really need to chat to an actual human for some help! Anyone had this problem? Or know how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated x

by mistake i enter use new whatsapp number instead of using existing number, so how i can delete this account:-  

we got a number that has whatsapp business number, now we want to connect it to manaychat, but not sure which option i need to use (Create a Whatsapp buisness Account VS use whatsapp business App? and why?:-   

When connecting WhatsApp with ManyChat we have those 3 options:- Transfer your own WhatsApp numberCreate a new WhatsApp numberConnect your WhatsApp number with Coexistence [BETA]  so what are the differences between the first and third option? as both will connect to existing number , am i correct?

Hello everyone,I'm new to Manychat and I'm running into a few issues.The interface is super intuitive, but a few wrong settings and the whole workflow gets blocked—and I'm paying the price for it 🤣...I'm looking for some info that I can't seem to find in the documentation:Regarding workflow testing, I find the "Preview" feature to be quite limited. It doesn't necessarily test external requests made with AI, etc. Are there any other ways to test workflows? (I'm not looking for just a simple preview; I want to really stress-test my workflow!😁)Thanks for your help, community!Alexandre

I want to build a manychat that get published to whatsapp and then show this inside our website as clickable link, now since the pricing depend on number of messages we can send, so how we can prevent a case where a fraud/hacker generates many unneeded messages to consume the pricing quote? Thanks

I want to publish the ManyChat inside Whatsapp, where i will have 3 options for the users to interact:- either directly message the number on whatsapp application scan QR code click on an image inside our web sitenow we have those options for the trigger:- so not sure which one i need to use and why to achieve the 3 options? Thanks 

I am reading through the pricing at https://manychat.com/pricing . but let say we chose the Business plan which come with 7500 active contracts. so i have these questions:- what does active contract exactly means? whole chat? or per message, so a chat can consume let say 10 active contracts? can we specify to stop replying if we exceed the limit? or to say if we go beyond 7500 active contract, to only answer questions up to extra 50 USD??thanks

Is there a way to detect the language from the user first message, any provide further questions in the desired language? or i will need to explicitly ask the user about his/her language regardless of their first message language?For example, if the user say “Hi” , i can reply in engligh, if they say “Salut” i will reply in french without explicitly asking them about their language. is such a language detection possible? Thanks

**Goal:**I connected ManyChat with ChatGPT (GPT-4.1) using the native ChatGPT Actions integration to automate customer responses for a fitness center (Golem Club) via Facebook Messenger.
