Set a time limit for AI processing

If the AI fails to gather all the required values after a certain time or the client simply stops responding, how to proceed to the next step?

WhatsApp for customer chat inside app

We would like to integrate ManyChat (preferably using WhatsApp or other conversation tools like IG or Telegram) for customer support in our app. With the Messenger Customer Chat plug-in deprecated, is it possible to implement using any ManyChat functionality/API/plug-in?

Can ManyChat Help Me?

I work for a publishing group that launches books on Amazon. During a book launch, we use Facebook and Messenger to engage with potential reviewers and gather reviews to support the book's success. Our process involves running Facebook ads, engaging with interest-based Facebook groups, and offering free copies of the book prior to publication.Up to now, this process has been entirely manual, but I believe ManyChat could significantly reduce our workload. I have a few questions to see if it’s a good fit for our needs. Managing Multiple Book Launches Simultaneously: At any given time, we may have multiple authors launching books. For example, Authors A, B, C, and D could each be promoting a different book simultaneously. Would it be possible to manage all these launches within a single ManyChat account? Specifically, can we ensure that contacts and responses related to each book are kept distinct from one another if the links provided to each audience are unique? To illustrate, if Author

automatization

Hello, is that possible to create atomatization by sending messages to everyone who follow us? Our new followers receive auto messages and we can’t understand why because there’re no such automatizations in our settings. Could you please tell where to look to put off automessaging after following?

Writing first

Hello everyone!I need your advice. I’ve created my automation, everything works wonderful, but no matter what I do, the bot wouldn’t go first with its message. I would like it to write to the customer as soon as the customer opens the WhatsApp chat via the link. Thanks in advance!

Please help me with my first ManyChat "Sequence"

Hi community. Please help.I am trying to understand how to use a sequence to send follow-up messages when a subscriber downloads a free guide I’ve offered.An Automation can handle the delivery of the freebie. Then I want to wait 24 hours and ask them if they received it. Then I want to follow up every 24 hours, up to 8 times, until they reply. I thought I could do this with a sequence but the interface is not intuitive.I see that I can add a new “message” and set the schedule. However, each “message” seems to be an entire automation on its own. Ok, I can set it to just contain 1 message and then go back to the the steps list. What blocks me is that it asks for a trigger action. I could expect to attach the entire sequence to the adding of a tag in an automation. That makes sense. But it asks for a trigger for each “message” (step) in the sequence. That doesn’t make sense to me.Thank you in advance!

FB ads that require a live link be sent to prospect...HELP!

Is it possible to have the bot engage with a prospect through a FB ad, but also attach a real time link once the prospect responds? I’m a real estate agent and want to place ads on FB that require the prospect to message me “get list” and then the bot sends them a list of homes that match the FB ads criteria.

ManyChat Integration with n8n

Hey everyone, I'm using n8n instead of Make to send leads from a form directly to ManyChat. However, I'm facing an issue: the process fails if the user already exists in ManyChat. Could someone with experience in n8n help me figure this out?

ManyChat Automation Not Triggering After User Creation via Make

Hello everyone,I’m setting up an automation using Make and ManyChat, following this flow:A user fills out a form on a landing page. The form automatically populates a new row in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. Make has a “Watch New Rows” trigger, which creates a new user in ManyChat using some information from the spreadsheet. From there, we move to ManyChat, where I have an automation triggered by “new user added.” This automation is supposed to send a message (authorized template) directly to the user, starting the conversation.It seems the Make part is working fine, as the new user is successfully created in ManyChat. However, the automation does not trigger, and we are unable to send the message to the user.Any idea what might be going wrong?Screenshot from Make:  Screenshot from ManyChat:  Thanks in advance for your help!

Blacklist/Globally Suppress by Email Address (API)

Hi There,Am helping a client automate their data flow with ManyChat. They have run into issues with unsubscribed/litigator emails in other platforms and want to ensure that we can sync their list of known litigators and unsubscribed emails with their ManyChat platform.Is there a global suppression/blacklist feature in ManyChat? And if so, is there a way to automatically update this list via API or in another automated way? I am not familiar with the ManyChat platform/interface, so any insight on this would be appreciated.

Please do not remove the Russian language

You have a really great platform, but you decided to remove the Russian language. This is the advantage because of which I chose your platform among others. If the decision to remove the Russian language is related to Russia's aggression against Ukraine, then I am against the war, I am very sorry, I do not support Russia's actions and I do not live in Russia. But my native language is Russian and it is more convenient and much faster for me to work with services that have Russian language. My clients are mostly Russian and Turkish speaking. I like your platform very much, I would not want to switch to another service. And I am sure that I am not the only one. Many people of different nationalities speak Russian (Ukrainians, Kazakhs, Moldovans, Belarusians, Tatars, Chechens, Bashkirs, Uzbeks and many others). Please do not remove the Russian language.
