General Q&A

I’m creating an automation and I want to include a gif in a Whatsapp message response.  Is this even possible?

I got a notification that my payment for Pro didn’t go through. I need to update my credit card. I looked at the instructions which say to go Settings → Billing → Update Credentials. I went to settings and billing but there is no ‘update credentials’. All I have access to is ‘retry payment’ which simply repeats that the payment can’t be processed and recommends I update my credit card details. I’m going around in a circle. Now my account has reverted to ‘free’ and when I go to upgrade to Pro, it just brings me back to my Billings page and I’m stuck in the cycle of ‘retry payment’ - ‘update your payment details’ and there not being an option to do so. This is a really frustrating user experience. Can someone please advise me on how to update my credit card information so I can resume my Pro account.

Hi guys, how to setup a trigger of user input any text or any messages? 

Is there a way to turn off repeated automations?I have a set up where the automation is triggered by certain keywords, and the automated message is sent. If the customer repeats any of the trigger words, the same auto-message will be sent and makes no sense for the conversation flow. Is there a setting where an automation is sent only once within a conversation?Thanks

Hey automation pros 👋I’ve been trying to build a real-time storage unit availability flow inside Instagram DMs using ManyChat, Make.com, and the Storeganise API, but I’ve hit a wall and would love to get your advice or hear how you would tackle this.🔍 The GoalWe want to allow users on Instagram to: Select their location inside a DM (e.g. Olari, Lauttasaari, etc.) Automatically fetch the available storage units for that site from Storeganise (using the /unitTypes endpoint filtered by siteId) Return a formatted list of available units with size and price (e.g. “✅ 2.5m² – 99€/kk”) back into ManyChat as a response The idea is to automate the rental discovery process and remove the need for clicking through to the website.⚙️ Tech Stack

Good afternoon, everyone. I'm having a problem with ManyChat. I programmed an automation to only respond to comments on some posts, however, when someone sends me a message in the DM, it triggers messages that I didn't programme. I don't know how to solve it, does anyone know how to solve it?

I started an auto DM to users, but its only working on 25% of users. I know it works so its not my permissions. Need this fixed ASAP

i can not find a simple solution to upgrade my trial version, i think iam already in pro because i pay now 15$, very complicated, can someone help me with that

When I try to utilize custom fields in my API requests and larger flows, it creates issues every time. It seems to change the field name behind the scenes in some way (like ‘CUF: 1300040’ for example). I do not know how to program that into my requests and work around it. So, my API requests end up just passing that ‘CUF: 14000404’ data instead of anything else.

When I try to test the whatsapp enabled i get an error message and it says contact manychat support. I have tried a couple days now and the messages don’t go through.

When I program my bot on the manychat app on my phone, for my Instagram account, I want it to send photos to the person it's talking to. When I click on Upload image, nothing happens and I've tried adding the URL of the photo, but that doesn't work either. 

Hi, when I search for a contact (a test ig account I set up and use often for testing automations) in “contact for testing” I cannot find it. Even though the contact is in my manychat contacts and has gone through this flow. Does anyone know why that would happen and how I can find it so I can test this step?

Hey everyone,I created a promo code randomizer that works well—until multiple users click the button at the same time. In that case, the bot sends the same promo code to two different users. Then, in the Google Sheet, it updates the username incorrectly. As a result, when the next person clicks the button, the bot skips a column and sends the following promo code instead.For example, at 11:24, if two users click the "Get Promo" button at the same time, both will receive promo code #4. Then, at 11:25, when another user clicks the button, they’ll receive promo code #6 instead of #5.You can see the issue in the attached screenshot. I've also attached the bot flow for reference.

Manychat Community, Is anyone else seeing this error, after clicking the green box here: Getting this error message:  It’s nothing else I’ve been able to do to resolve this.

Hello. I am trying to set up an automation where someone comments “train” on my Instagram post.  When this happens, I want them to get a message asking them if it is ok to send a lead magnet (the next step is to get their email address, but I haven’t gotten that far yet).When someone comments “train”, they get the message, but the button that I have to ask for their ok to move on the the next message where I get their email address is not working (it just reloads the Instagram message page).They are getting stuck in the first step right after the trigger.  Here is a screenshot of how I have the first “send message box” above set up...can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? 

Could anyone help me please? I’ve just been using Manychat to run automations in order to increase engagement on my posts. I know i’m not using it in the right way and I’m here going through the resources to learn how to do it properly. So I was today years old when I found out that it can be used for Facebook automations too! 🥹The problem is that I can’t see Facebook in my Channels. It’s just not there, so I don’t have a clue how to activate it to make it work. Can anyone help me or guide me in the right direction. Thanks, Aileen 

hi. I variable the number of contacts. I cleaned some of them. so I can't know how much I have to pay in this window. this is calculating the contacts in the real in the window.

Hey there, so I can’t seem to be able to share my facebook workflow with someone else as a template, I am trying to find the button, but I can’t find it

Hi everyone, I’ve encountered an issue and would like to ask for your help. 🙏(I’ve attached a screenshot below for reference.)Problem:When a user sends a direct message, the automation does not get triggered.What I’ve already set up: The keyword trigger is properly configured. The keyword is connected to an automation flow. But when a user types the keyword in a private message, nothing happens—no flow is triggered. Has anyone experienced a similar issue?Is there something I might be missing, such as user status or flow conflicts?Thanks in advance for your help! 

Hi manychat team,My Main Menu is not working properly when a button links to another flow on iPhone, as shown in this video: https://disk.yandex.com/i/OaJioIIX3ajaEw.Please have your team check and help fix this issue. 

Hello!I want to create a chatbot solution for a B2B client, using conversational engine on my server (connected to Manychat via API). The goal is to give this B2B client access to all user chats through a dashboard.I like ManyChat’s dashboard, wondering if it is possible to create it for a client without ManyChat’s, but my dev logo on it?Thank you so much!

Pessoal, como estão ?Criei uma automação, testei pelo Instagram, e está com problema, está aparecendo opções erradas. Conforme anexo, era para aparecer apenas " Sim e Não" e a opção com "Raiva e irritação" fica em outra parte. Se alguém souber me orientar, agradeço. 

In my ManyChat webhook the field named continue won’t save to its custom field, while the others work fine.{ "output": { "response": { "part_1": "¡Sí, enviamos en Miami-Dade! 🚚", "part_2": "Ofrecemos pick-up y entrega.", "part_3": "¿Quieres info o hacer un pedido? ¡Dime!", "continue": "continuar_proceso" } }}What happens JSON key Saves? part_1 ✅ part_2 ✅ part_3 ✅ continue ❌  What I’ve checked Field name & type are correct

I have two automations; A lead magnet delivery, with follow up A questionnaire, triggered by Dm Currently, people are subscribing to the lead magnet, then also subscribing to the questionnaire - but the automations are clashing and sending all messages. I can’t find a condition to “Stop Automation X” that I can place in both automations to stop the other one if the contact enters it. I can see “Unsubscribe From Sequence” Surely this is basic basic basic marketing automation. Don’t tell me I have to tag users entering an automation, then recheck the tag at every single step to pull them out if they have entered the other one? 

Hi,I’ve setup a WhatsApp automation with a keyword trigger using a number provided by ManyChat. The conversation is not triggered at all.All has been verified via Meta and all labels are green as in verified and active.Really stuck on this and not sure what’s missing. Flow and trigger is basic and active.Any ideas?ThanksNick
