What are the costs involved in integrating ManyChat with Instagram?

Hi, I saw on the pricing page of ManyChat that there are various costs to consider when running ManyChat on WhatsApp. These include the following:Number of seats Number of contacts Number of conversations (or per texts) Use of the AI Step featureI was wondering if it is the same with Instagram. Do I also have to account for the costs per conversation (or the number of texts we received and sent), or does this only apply to WhatsApp?

API Error Creating Subscriber: Missing Required Field

Dear ManyChat Community,I hope this message finds you well.I am writing to report an issue I encountered while attempting to create a subscriber through the ManyChat API. Upon submitting the request, I received the following error 400 message: "To create a subscriber you must fill in at least one field: Phone or Email or WaId."It appears that the API request to create a subscriber is failing due to a missing required field. According to the error message, at least one of the following fields must be provided: Phone, Email, or WaId.However, I have ensured that the request includes all necessary fields and their corresponding values. Despite this, the error persists, and I am unable to create subscribers via the API.Could you please assist me in resolving this issue? I have reviewed the documentation thoroughly and believe that the request is correctly formatted. It would be greatly appreciated if you could investigate the matter further and provide guidance on how to proceed.Thank you f

auto assignment

I am trying to set up auto assignment for two live chat agents. One of the agents already had 700 assignments on his profile, but the other one had 0. So many chat is giving ALL of the auto assignments to the agent with 0. This is a problem because they work commission. I want it to split it 50/50 moving forward. Can someone please help me figure this out? thank you,Jude

Unable to Receive SMS Code for WhatsApp on My Phone

Hi everyone,I recently encountered an issue with WhatsApp on my phone. I tried using the manychat but didn't find it helpful, so I decided to remove everything related to it. However, now I can't return to my WhatsApp account on my phone.The main problem I'm facing is that I'm unable to receive the SMS code required for verification. I've tried using different phone numbers, and they work fine, but when I use the same number that's associated with manychats, I don't receive the code. I keep getting an error message saying to try again in an hour.i tried deleting the app, restarting mobile, clearing cache/ I’ve already removed and deleted everything in setting, but the issue persists. Can anyone help me resolve this?Thanks in advance!

Manychat Not Working For Days - Need Urgent Help

I am creating a post regarding my Manychat automations not working for a while. When I try to “Refresh Permissions”, I get a bar on the top of my screen that says “You have insufficient rights to reload the account”. I am not sure what to do and I am posting everyday with the use of a comment automation so I do not want my Manychat automations to go to waste without figuring out the problem. I also have gone through the chatbot suggestions and followed the steps with advanced refreshing options, but seems like that bar at the top of the screen keeps saying ““You have insufficient rights to reload the account”. Please help me out with this ASAP.My IG is @agastya_gudipati. Please let me know if there is anyway to solve this problem since it is really important.

Tag: I use too many different tags

Hello everyone,I'm contacting you to get your opinion on the subject of tags. Currently we create different tags for each of our campaigns. Example: if we have an “End Survey” tag, we have a “Campaign A - End Survey” tag “Campaign B - End Survey” tag etc... The advantages are as follows:We can create very precise conditions and send flows when we want. We can keep track of which ambassadors have carried out which campaigns.The disadvantages are as follows: We have to recreate tags for each new campaign. We have to modify these same tags in flow templates We have a very large number of tags in our database.My idea was to create a single specific tag for each campaign (e.g. “Campaign A”) and use generic tags for all tags. However, this approach seems to pose two problems:If there are two campaigns running at the same time, the tags will interfere with each other.I'm obliged to delete the person's tags for the next campaign, thus losing the history.What do you think of my approach? Is it

Connect post

Hello,I am currently facing one issue : ManyChat is not detecting my scheduled posts in the calendar for future publications on my page.To better illustrate the issue, I’ve recorded my screen.This is a major problem because I can't prepare my automations before the posts are published. For example, for a quiz, the idea would be that when people comment with a number between 1 and 9 under the post, it triggers a flow with the corresponding question.Therefore, it’s crucial that all automations are ready before the post goes live.However, due to this issue, I can’t set things up correctly in advance.I also don’t have the option to schedule future posts directly on the Facebook page; I can only use MetaSuite for scheduling.Even stranger, as you will see in the video, ManyChat does not detect the posts scheduled in the calendar, but it does detect the posts that have already been published.film my screem : https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/32284831?key=112c0688fb849347bf3e8357e14db859

Issue with telegram bot condition or user fields

I have a Manychat Telegram chatbot, and when I add 15 consecutive if-else conditions, the automation stops. Is there a limit on the number of consecutive conditions? Also, after each condition, I’m using "Set User Field" actions—could the problem be related to having 15 consecutive "Set User Field" actions? Let me know if this sounds good!P.S. If I remove one condition and action it runs.

issue with Flow Not Returning to Main Automation

HelloI am facing an issue with an automation in ManyChat, and I would like your help. I have a main automation that notifies users when a live session begins. In the flow, there is a condition (Condition 3) that checks if the user is registered or not. If they are not confirmed, I send them to a second automation (Automation 2 – Central de Provas).The problem is that after the user goes through Automation 2, they do not return to the main automation in Condition 4, where they should receive messages related to the live session. Below are the links to both automations for your reference:Main Automation with Comments: https://manychat.com/flowPlayerPage?share_hash=806387719412447_c2510c0a0fc0fd206da46283e303584d6595933c Automation 2 with Comments: https://manychat.com/flowPlayerPage?share_hash=806387719412447_302161383c3fabb53de156c6b25f0dca17e6d3afAdditionally, here are the links with red comments on the screenshots to further illustrate the issue:Main Automation (with red comments): ht

If the customer sends a message after 1 day or 24 hours, instead of continuing from where the automation left off, it returns to the beginning and causes repetition AI answers.

If the customer sends a message after 1 day or 24 hours, instead of continuing from where the automation left off, it returns to the beginning and causes repetition AI answers. this needs to be resolved because I'm losing customers.

not responding to messages dropped in the message request list or unassigned messages

Since the system does not see these message types, the automation does not work and the messages remain unanswered, there must be a solution to this
