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 ?

Public replies not working - skips that and goes straight to DM

I am trying to create a simple automation that starts off with multiple public replies with 1 trigger key word, then sends a DM sequence. I set it up in the trigger but when I tried the automation, it didn’t post a public reply and just sends the DM right away. I can’t figure out why it is not replying publicly first. Any ideas?

Does ManyChat automatically un-subscribe contacts from a Subscription List? If ManyChat does do this, any idea the timeframe of when this happens automatically? I had a Subscription List with around 300 contacts in it, but now, there is only 2 (Both signed up in the last month). Anyway to get these contacts back on the Subscription List without having them opt-in again?

Sync between IG inbox and MC inbox

My client has noticed that there is a significant lag time between when she responds to someone in her DMs directly in Instagram and when that message shows up in the Manychat inbox.We are in the middle of a launch currently and I’m trying to help her manage messages, but it’s confusing (and awkward) that her responses to people aren’t displaying for hours.Is there something to sync them faster?

How do I set up collecting email addresses to Google sheets?

Dear all,I’m trying to collect email addresses from my IG DM to a Google sheet. I have done the integration and all but can’t seem to find the “User input” that all the YouTube videos I have watched keep talking about. I’ve literally been scouring the internet for this information for the past two hours. The videos I find on YouTube are from 7 months ago and older and don’t have the same interface I have (I guess it’s now updated). I’d really appreciate any help here. Thanks. This is where I’m missing it.
