General Q&A

There is a way I can send automated dms to people that starts to follow me on instagram?

I made a JSON request to a payment platform, and this platform returns a Pix "copy and paste" code.My issue is: The platform returns a string containing the payment code, and this variable is sent through a Telegram bot to the user. So far, no problems. The issue arises when the user tries to paste the code into their banking app, as the code comes with "https://" in front of it.I need the code to be sent in the chat as plain text, not as a URL link.

I have purchased a WhatsApp number through Manychat, So if some see’s my WhatsApp message and try to call me through the Manychat number, will that call get transferred to my whatsapp number or will I even get the call?  

Manychat currently tells us that we are billed for the total number of contacts that we have under our contacts list. When I want an user to be excluded from the billing list, is it okay if I simply unsubscribe the user or do I delete them ?

Hi, i have a question about the pro account I was wondering if I pay for the $25 plan for 2500 contacts and I don't use those contacts anymore can I delete them and always keep my budget under 2500 contacts? thanks

Hey, my clients use refferal link, and when they click it, it sends first message multiple times. I’m using Manychat for 3 years, and it has never happened to me. I used refreshed permissions and still didn’t fix the issue. What should I do?

Is it possible to schedule an automation to go live instead of going live immediately? 

We want to create a workflow that triggers when a user posts a comment on Facebook or Instagram. The idea is to evaluate the comments using ChatGPT to determine whether they are positive or negative. However, I can't find an option to use the comment as a variable anywhere. The user's last message appears to refer to a Messenger message. Is there an option to use comments in the same way? For example, as part of a ChatGPT prompt, similar to how messages are used? So the effect is supposed to be that if the comment is positive, I send message no. 1 and if negative, message no. 2. etc. There is no problem with using this logic in messages. Since you can use the last message as a variable in the chatgpt prompt.

I'm new to ManyChat and I'm having trouble getting my page to respond to user interactions. I've set up conversation starters and buttons, but they aren't appearing. I've also tried setting up welcome messages, but those aren't showing up either. When a user clicks 'Get Started,' my page doesn't respond or provide any information. Can someone please provide me a solution to this issue  

Hi guys for the action button can i set time period for each click ? Because many clients are clicking it many times by mistake and this make the chat so unorganized ! 

I made the mistake of linking a gmail account to my Manychat account access! And now I want to remove it so I can link the correct gmail! Can anyone guide me on how I managed to perform this procedure?

the condition module is not deriving to the other flows based on Custom Field derivador_preguntaIs an automatic integration with chatgpt but is not working right now.It happened today without explanation. Before today, the evaluation of the condition was working great, but now it has stopped working.  

Hello everyone!I'm going through a very annoying issue. When the user interacts with the flow I created on Manychat, triggering any kind of action, at certain moments in the flow, some buttons appear duplicated.Buttons from the beginning of the flow are showing up along with buttons from the middle or the end of the flow.It's funny because when the user leaves the conversation and comes back, the duplicated buttons disappear.Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I can't take it anymore, I don't know if it's a bug with Instagram or with Manychat itself, because the flow built in Manychat is perfectly correct.Can someone help me?

I would like to know if I can set up the automation to send a DM when someone comments on a reel where I am listed as a collaborator. Thanks

Hello, I want to start an automation for any message written to me via Instagram direct message. But the automation should only be triggered once for each user. How can I create the condition for this trigger? Because we want to enable further communication with our followers on DM, we don’t want the automated answer every time they write something. Only once, first when they contact us. How can I solve the loop problem.

Hi!My automation was working for about 2 weeks, then it didn’t work anymore.Here are the messages I got : “ This is a weekly overview of Facebook Messages that were blocked because more than 24 hours passed after subscribed contact's last interaction with your bot via Messenger.”And for every message, it’s a “no content type” blocking.Problem is, I can’t fix the “no content type” blocking because I don’t have the automation checker.They also talk about “Facebook tags”. Where can I find them ?Many many thanks !!

Does anyone know if an Israeli phone number can be untegrated into manychat? Thank you:)

Hi! So I am running this automation where I am sending mutiple links to an audience. In manychat, the links are clickable but in IG they are not. How can I fix this? Is there something I am missing? Thanks!  

Hi everyone!I’m trying to connect my WhatsApp Flow in ManyChat to my Meta ads. The idea is that whenever someone clicks on the ad, it directly starts a conversation on WhatsApp and triggers the sequence. However, when I select WhatsApp as the ad destination, I receive a notification indicating that it only works with a WhatsApp Business account.I saw a video which explained that we need to use traffic campaigns and add a website.But even when I follow this video and use a link shortener, I get a notice from meta saying that I can´t use a WhatsApp link and should choose WhatsApp as the ad destination.   I have my WhatsApp Business API properly set up and linked to ManyChat, but I’m unable to proceed with the ad configuration.Has anyone encountered this issue? Any tips on how to successfully connect my WhatsApp Business API number for ads in ManyChat?Thank you!

I created a custom app with a trigger, this app sends local context fields like a url of an order. I would like to send a Whatsapp HSM with this information, but, when I am creating a message template there, I can’t see my app context fields variables, and so, I can’t register the message template with the real variables.

Hello everyone, how's it going? I’m facing some issues with my Manychat flow. I’m using make.com to generate responses with Artificial Intelligence. The responses are being generated normally and are sent to Manychat via make.com's API block “Set a Custom Field”.The problem is the following: the response reaches Manychat in about 5-10 seconds through this CUF, but after arriving, the message is not immediately sent to the user. Actually, the timing is variable. Sometimes, as soon as the CUF is updated, the response is sent right away, but other times it takes over 2 minutes for the response (WHICH HAS ALREADY REACHED MANYCHAT) to actually be sent to the user.I’m using Instagram.(ps: theres no smart delay or anything)

I have many automations set up with prompt words - people comment on my Insta posts and get a replay with a link. Is there a way to set up a general automation which will be sent after the original automation? So say someone comments, gets a message with a link that automation is done and then another one will start?
