General Q&A

For the past month, my Instagram ads have been duplicating. We have gone through it multiple times and confirmed that we only had 159 people message but meta is saying 270 people. As you know that is a really big difference and can affect the cost of the ad by double.  They are saying this is an issue with manychat. I've never had this issue before, I've been using this for months now. Has anyone else had this issue? They were basically refusing to help me because it's not their problem. They're saying.

Hi everyone,My Instagram DM automation was working fine before, but the messages weren’t being delivered to the Primary inbox.I added the opt-in, and it seemed to work at first. However, now no messages are being sent when people comment on my posts.Is there currently an issue with Instagram automations?

I have tried everything and I keep getting the following error. I have permissions right, automations work on everything else but not for this. I have other clients it works for but not this one. Anyone get this error before?This happens when it tries to login to IG to verify the follower setup. 

🚨 Pessoal, preciso de uma ajuda!Minhas automações não estão disparando áudios (mensagens de voz) no WhatsApp, mesmo com tudo configurado certinho.Alguém já passou por isso ou sabe o que pode estar causando esse problema?Será alguma limitação do próprio ManyChat ou algo relacionado à integração (ex: WhatsApp API, provedor, etc)?Agradeço demais se alguém puder me dar uma luz! 🙏

Hey there. I want to creat only one trigger that “Message doesn't contain” “+”  in “Automation in Tiktok”. But nothing happens. Is it working?

I have a pro account and am unable to click the go live button. It is blue, but when I click it stays blue and nothing happens. It is extremely frustrating because I have been paying for pro for years and I finally got a viral video, during the video going viral I was unable to set up the many chat. So thousands of people commented and never got delivered the lead magnet. I am frustrated because I don’t want to remove the video and risk losing all this traction but the dm automation is not working and I have been trying different options for over an hour. I refreshed all permissions, delete other automations, refreshed the page, started the automation over. So far nothing has worked. Has anyone else ran into a similar problems and how were they able to solve it

Hi All,I’ve set up an automation for when I go live on IG,I’m testing it now - going live with close friends,And it’s not working,My automations for reels and posts work fine,Any ideas welcomed!Thank YouJay

ManyChat botum otomatik olarak yanıt veriyor, ancak dinamik bir yanıt oluşturmak yerine her mesaj için aynı yanıtı göndermeye devam ediyor. Bunun sebebi ne olabilir?  Her şey doğru ayarlanmış gibi görünüyor ve başlangıçta sorunsuz çalışıyordu. Ancak şimdi Instagram üzerinden bir soru sorduğumda bot her profile aynı standart yanıtı gönderiyor. İşin garip yanı, her şeyin hala düzgün yapılandırılmış gibi görünmesi.

Hi Lainie here, just started Manychat and learning the ropes. I have set up Tiktok and IG, learning all the time. I just am so excited for 2026! HELP Have a top day? Lainie 😁

Is it possible to change the button text color? It isn’t visible in dark mode on my Macbook Pro.  

I had a simple dm automation set up and it stopped working the other day. When I test it, it works. But it isn’t triggering. I’ve tried refreshing permissions and even creating the same automation with the same keyword. I can’t get it to work.

I’m seeing WhatsApp template messages show as Sent, but Delivered stays at 0%. Other templates deliver fine with the same audience and setup.Already checked: Using a template send (not free-form), both inside/outside 24h window Contacts active/subscribed, E.164 format Template language/version consistent All placeholders populated Questions: Any known causes for “Sent but not Delivered” on templates? Specific log/error codes to look for that pinpoint the issue? Proven fixes/workarounds you’ve used? Thanks in advance! 🙏

I’m unable to view or activate the Live Chat Analytics feature, which is described in the documentation linked below. How can I enable it?https://help.manychat.com/hc/en-us/articles/14281089062044-Live-Chat-analytics

I just tried using an automation for TikTok, but wanted to verify. It looks like we can’t send active links in the DMs and just have to redirect them to the link in our bio? I was trying to collect emails but I’ve been getting and error with any and all emails sending through my verified domain, which means the only other means of delivering a freebie is through the DM’s, but I can’t connect a link to a Google Doc or my Stan Store. Am I missing anything? Additionally, does ManyChat have any insight to the potential TikTok ban? I’m concerned about spending much time on my TT account if I only have 2 more weeks to use it. Thanks so much!!

My goal is to ask the client a few questions and, depending on their answers, continue the conversation. If the client agrees to receive a gift, I want to deliver it, and if not, I want to end the conversation. Can I set up the AI bot to read the client’s messages and automatically assign the appropriate values to fields (attributes) based on their responses?

Hi support/community, I am trying to impolement the DM automation for new followers, but I am constantly being asked to update permissions, it redirects me to meta and still prompts me to log in with an IG account. The whole process has been exhausting and I need to get it fixed

Hi there!I’m trying to create an external request to make.com, and there is a field “contact for testing” .Whatever I do there are no users defined… What should I do?  

I’ve been trying to connect my Instagram and Facebook account to ManyChat, but the platform simply won’t link properly.Although ManyChat appears as a connected app in both Facebook and Instagram settings, the account doesn’t fully connect — I can’t access the automation setup screen, and the system behaves as if there’s no connection.I’ve already gone through all the available troubleshooting steps (clearing cache, switching browsers, checking permissions, reconnecting pages, logging out and back in, etc.), but nothing has worked.The Facebook Page and Instagram profile were never connected to any other ManyChat account in the past.Can you please investigate and help me finally complete the connection?

This feature finally appeared in my account yesterday - as I am sure it did for many people. But I am having trouble connecting to it as it’s asking me to refresh permissions. I have been a MC user for a long time so I am connected the ‘old IG API’ apparently, and this feature needs to run on the new IG API. But when I click to refresh, I get nowhere - just sends me round and round with IG log ins.Pretty sure all my back end set up is correct. Accounts are linked in accounts centre - never had any issues with connection previously. Have been through all the troubleshooting docs - but nothings working. I do have a support ticket in but am keen to resolve asap.If I remove Manychat from Business Integrations - not just toggle off, actually remove - will it keep all my contacts and automations if I manage to reconnect? I can’t think of anything else to try?

Hi everyone,I’m experiencing an intermittent issue with the Instagram integration.When a user sends us a Direct Message after clicking one of our Instagram ads, the message is sometimes not received or displayed in ManyChat Live Chat.I’ve attached two screenshots to show what’s happening: The first one shows the message sent from my personal Instagram account (“700k” and “343k”). The second shows the ManyChat Live Chat view — where part of the conversation appears, but the message “700k” never shows up. This doesn’t happen all the time; some messages come through just fine.Has anyone experienced something similar, or does the ManyChat team know what might cause this kind of message loss between Instagram Direct and Live Chat?  

I want to be able to tag those who’ve been added to Klayvio via ManyChat so I have a running tally of how many leads are coming from ManyChat — stuck on how to do this as I don’t use Klayvio often… any insights?

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

Hi everyone 👋I’m building a WhatsApp flow and need a List Message where each option shows only a title (no per-row description).In WhatsApp itself I’ve seen lists that look like my second screenshot (title-only rows with radio dots) — exactly what I want.Issue:In ManyChat’s WhatsApp List component, the UI seems to require a Description for each row (see first screenshot). If I leave Description empty, it won’t let me save. That forces extra text I don’t want.What I’ve tried: Keeping Header empty and Body super short (works). Rows with Title only — UI blocks save due to missing Description. Workarounds like zero-width space / non-breaking space in Description: sometimes saves, but feels hacky and inconsistent. Question(s): Is Description actually required by ManyChat (product limitation), or should title-only rows be supported? If it’s expected to work title-only, what’s the correct way to configure it?   If Description is currently mandatory in the UI, is there a roadmap to al
