General Q&A

Ridiculous issue here. .I have many automations, most of them are messaged then choices for customers to flow through. Example: Message 1: Hey, how are you?Message 2 : What can we help you with? Message 3 : Tap one of the options below Need help - talk to a human - what's your price Get it?  So the issue is, suddenly all automations on WhatsApp are not sending message 3.  Basically, any message with a button is not sent. Live chat shows it sent, but it does not go to the user. Have tested with 5 contacts and 3 of my own numbers.  Refreshed permissions etc. What's going on? 

Hi everyone,I’m having an issue with my Instagram Comment → Auto DM automation in ManyChat. Everything was working fine before, but after I applied for Meta monetization, none of my comment-triggered DMs are sending anymore (especially those with links).Here’s what I’ve already tried: Removed ManyChat from Facebook Business Integrations and reconnected. Refreshed Instagram permissions inside ManyChat (all toggles ON: messages, comments, manage pages, etc.). Tested with new posts and new comments (not old ones). Tried flows with links and flows without links (button-based). Still, no auto DM is triggered when someone comments with a keyword.Any help would be super helpful 🙏Thanks in advance!

Hi Team, I’m using following triggers with keywords ‘LOCUM’, ‘LOCUMS’ ‘FREEDOM’, but my automation gets triggered with literally any word or phrase. (see second screenshot)https://app.manychat.com/flowPlayerPage?share_hash=2839795_caaf2a542f44f6768b1d592d89c6534f03cb2e4aNEED AN URGENT FIX!  

Hi! I’m creating a Telegram bot and I’m completely new to this. I’ve looked everywhere but couldn’t find a solution…😭I want the button menu to always stay on the screen, like a Reply Keyboard. Even after a user clicks a button, the menu should remain visible.Right now, my buttons disappear after clicking. I tried sending text after the button click and then returning to the menu, but a text like “Welcome!” appears above the menu. I don’t want any text — just the menu itself, with no header or extra message.Does anyone know how to make the menu persistent so the buttons are always visible without showing any extra text? This is very urgent.😫

We have an automation that triggers from any comment on our post/reels to:Ask a question. The response tags the type of user (custom tag) After action to tag, the Follower Condition is checked. If Yes they follow us, it sends the download links. If no,  the “ask to follow link” is supposed to be sent. That “ask to follow link” lets users click to automatically follow our account then move on to the next step to deliver the download links.The follow-link is not being sent. Is this happening (or rather not happening) because we have to wait 24 hrs from the 1st user response (their comment on our post and response to the initial question?

Hi everyone,I’m having an issue with ManyChat.I find it a bit disappointing that there’s no proper video tutorial for this, or an option to directly contact support (especially for the price – that really should be available).I’ve been searching for 4 days now for the right settings to create a follow-up, but I can’t find anything. And honestly, what’s explained here so far doesn’t really answer my question either.Example:Person X comments with the “keyword” → Then they receive a message and a link to click… and that’s where the problem starts. I want to set up a follow-up so that they automatically get another message one day later to “check in” with them.I know this might not sound like a big thing, but it’s frustrating that there’s nothing concrete out there. A tutorial video would help a lot.I really hope you can help me. If you need any additional info to give me a better answer, please just let me know.  

Hi, I was wondering what the perfect structure for the AI knowledge base should look like. I created one but the responses aren’t conversational, and it seems to favor some services over others. Hoping someone could offer some advice. 

Is it possible to let the user choose several answers at once. For exampleWhat is your favorite team?1. Barcelona2. Madrid3. BayernFor example, the user wants to choose Barcelona and Madrid together. Can he choose this with 1 action so that the answer is saved in the fildes or as a tag?

Hello, I am binding WhatsApp with Facebook Business Manager, and I have been waiting for a week. It has always been in the “pending review” status. Is this normal?Also, I would like to use ManyChat’s auto-reply feature, so that the bot can automatically reply to messages on WhatsApp. Does this require per-message charges? I have already purchased your Pro membership. Thank you. 

When a user enters WhatsApp, I want to automatically send them an image plus text. How can I set this up?Also, I want to run Facebook ads to direct users to WhatsApp. Besides verifying WhatsApp in Facebook Business Manager, do I also need to complete company verification on Facebook? Thank you.

I am needing to set up an automation that splits based on the action taken The goal is to deliver the link to a free resource upon clicking the initial link we send them1: When link is clicked, prize is automatically sent as a follow up 2: If the link not clicked....we want to send a follow-up message telling them they're missing out on a free gift and prompt them to click the link again. Then once they click the link they receive the gift as a follow upI tried setting up and testing a dummy version (the the text and links aren’t what will be used) but I can’t get it to work. Any advice?https://app.manychat.com/flowPlayerPage?share_hash=105314232838635_eb54060cf5a816aeb8012c014948a5cf9adf8453

hi! Could someone let me know what’s wrong with my automation? The ‘if link is clicked’ part works fine but not the ‘condition link isn’t clicked’ (obviously the time delays will be moved to 24h this is for the sake of testing 😊) Would really appreciate help thanks  

I want to send the customer direct to my link not many chat link  

Good afternoon. Help please, manychat in my WhatsApp bots always shortens links, although in the settings it is forbidden. 

 I change wording but the bot is still not working. How to fix this?

Hello,The WhatsApp number provided by ManyChat seems unable to connect properly. This number was generated directly by ManyChat, but it appears to be blocked or inactive. Could you please help me resolve this issue or provide a new number?

Why can't my LIVE sequences be found on my Meta ads?They can detect my ManyChat but cannot detect my LIVE sequence.

"If I have 1,000 contacts  and delete all of them, will I be able to keep the free plan?

Hi everyone!I’m using ManyChat and I’d like to know if there’s a way to automatically like comments on my posts, without sending any replies. Ideally, I’d also like the like to be added after a random delay (not instantly after the comment).Has anyone set this up before or knows if it’s possible? Thanks a lot!

I’ve set up the Manychat automation so that when they comment a specific word, they should get an automated DM with a link to my lead magnet, but loads of people have commented and not received the message. Can anyone explain why this is? Cheers

When a user push a button (IE visit my site)this action re-Open the 24h window? thanks

Why is my Manychat not working on TikTok? I’ve sent up my sequence, and refreshed to make sure it’s connected. What should I be looking at?

Is there any way to delete or edit a wrongly sent message in WhatsApp Live Chat?

Hi, I’m building a service booking automation for a local Ford dealership on Whatsapp.As part of the booking process, the dealership requires users to upload a picture of their vehicle registration disk which contains useful identifying information about their vehicle (VIN Number, Registration Number etc). Allowing uers to upload this images saves them typing out numerous numbers and minimises the possibility for mistyping etc.I’ve added a flow in the automation where users are able to upload an image from their mobile device, and this works 100% (from the user’s side) BUT I can’t find any trace of these images once the user completes the flow and the conversation is closed.I can’t find a way to save the image as a user field, in fact, there’s no sign of the uploaded image anywhere. Any ideas 🤷🏻 Thanks,Wayne
