General Q&A

HelloWhen I log in to manychat.com, I only have the option to sign in with Google, Facebook, Telegram, or Apple. However, my account is linked to my work email, which is not associated with any of these four options.What should I do?Thank you.

Hi, i’m super new here and thought i set up my first automated manychat on insta.I’ve tested in with the code using a different instagram account and it worked...but when i try using the trigger word on the post, it doesn’t send anything?Apologies if this is very simple…  

Hi,I am looking to know an effective way to connect Manychat with GHL to transfer data with tags.Is there any documentation or video you can share with me?

Hello Everyone, I provided pictures to explain. Our automation is just not working. I refreshed permissions twice too. Any ideas what could be going on here? Thank you  

I've been waiting for months for ManyChat to finally allow TikTok integration. Honestly, it's getting frustrating.I'm based in France and this delay is holding back my automations and campaign management.Does anyone have a workaround, maybe using N8N or another tool, to automate with TikTok anyway?I’m open to any serious solutions. Please share your feedback or hacks, because waiting for ManyChat to move on this is becoming endless…

Hello everyone, I need some help!I’m trying to access the Website channel inside ManyChat to add a widget to my site, but the URL https://manychat.com/channels/website returns a 404 error. I also noticed that under my account settings, the Website channel doesn’t appear as an available option.Is this feature no longer supported?Or is it available only for the workspace owner or certain plans?Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello community! I want to know, if Whatsapp users that interact with my account and send messages count as contacts or if they are kept separate. Also, if I already have an existing contact list of Whatsapp users that have interacted with me, can I import them in Manychat and would I have to get their permission to send them messages again, even though I got that permission in the past? Thank you for your help! :)

Hi all, SO i had previously made an account but haven’t used for a long time. I logged in with Google and connected my new IG. Now I realise I had originally created my account with Facebook.I want to disconnect IG from the Google log in but I cannot access it as it says the email already in use (which it is via the Facebook log in) so I can’t connect IG in the correct place with my other channels and cannot disconnect as I cannot even verify to get into the settings! So confused what to do. I do not want to log into google for IG and log in via Facebook for tip tok & FB page - help!

I’m in uttermost shocked for being charged twice! I had a page on Instagram that I deleted but got charged anyway by many chats. I would kindly want my subscription on ‘Jish’ to be forwarded to my ‘money.with.jish’ account.  No! I can’t be paying twice for a service that I haven’t utilised!!

HI ALLI’ve a site (basically a landing page) with just 1 button → a whatsapp ref url:user can click the whatsapp ref url and pay for the coaching service directly in Whatsapp.Questionin terms of META ADS, what is better to do?  a) sales camp that land on the site? b) sales camp that land on the whatsapp ref url? (in the first automation the service is explanied inside whatsapp) I set up Conversion API in Manychat, do I need set up conversion API for the site too? (with Stape or similar tool). Both of them are better or not? THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Ok so I’ve been trying to set this up for days.  I did the automation steps correctly, and tested it on another one of my IG accounts, and when I comment the word, its not following through with the steps! I tried finding solutions on you tube, the manychat site, chatgpt, and I cannot get it to work. Super frustrating.  Please give me all of the tips/advice.  thank you! 

Is anyone else experiencing auto responses being sent in Instagram to contact DMs when the trigger word is not present in the message?

Hi,I'm experiencing an issue with my Instagram automations.I’ve set up a system where, when someone comments a specific keyword on my post, they receive an automatic reply like "Check your DMs" and then get a direct message.However, the automation doesn’t seem to work consistently. Sometimes it replies as expected, but other times it doesn't reply at all — neither in the comments nor in the DMs. It feels random.This inconsistency is causing confusion for my audience and affects the performance of my posts.Could you please help me understand: Why the automation might be failing intermittently? If there are any limits or conditions that could be blocking or delaying the automation? How I can ensure more consistent performance? Thanks in advance for your help! 

How do I send multiple product links for one reel. For example I'm featuring 5 products and I want to send out 5 links at a time when someone comments on this post. 

Dear Community,I have a question about the genious setup of smart delay. I do not know how I can have it longer than 24h.There are the options of xx days to, but each time I try to use it, manychat tells me to make it shorter than 24 hours.Is there a hag to solve this problem.Thanks for your answer.Nici

Hey manychat Team, Recently I used the manychat application for the 14 days ago and i used the free trial for the last 14 days, it was good for my Instagram account.And then the free trail session was completed, and i having the 18k contacts from the trail. After that it asked $125 Now I deleted all my contacts, and now also it asks $125 dollar.Can you clear this issue?

Why does uploading vertical videos in ManyChat damage the quality?Manychat support confirmed that it looks pixelated on the mobile Instagram app. However, they also tested it on the desktop version, where it looks fine.This issue occurs only on the Instagram app on mobile devices, and they asked me to create a post in this community to gather votes before they investigate it.I’m sure many of you find this irritating. Shall we vote?

Just trying to set up the most simplest automation “Auto-DM links from comments” but I keep getting “Looks like there’s no connection” and when i click “try again”, a red error message “instagram channel is not active” comes up. Everything is connected! Very frustrating - any help out there would be much appreciated! ;)

Hello, Just started with ManyChats. I am confused with what a “contact” means. If I have my set audience and followers, and they engage in my content and continue to use various “trigger words” for various automation replies, will each time they “trigger” count as a new contact, or do they get stored as a saved contact that does not affect the 500-1000 free contacts you get with the first subscription tier. I can’t seem to find an answer to this in the FAQ. Thank you, Luci 

I have set up an automation where people wil comment on a post to get a DM, how do I then send a follow up message to these people 5-7 days later to see how they found my resource? 

I’d like to run keyword comment automations on 2 IG posts.Can I use the same keyword for both IG posts? will the corresponding UTM link be sent to commentors? Thanks!
