I am not able to connect my IG account to Many chats its showing page is already connected what can I do?? 

i need help getting my manychat connected to my facebook ad. anyone can help?!?! can not add manychat as a partner app. 

Hello ManyChat Team, I’d like to kindly request that the JSON Flow Import/Export feature be enabled on my account.I’m managing flows externally and need this feature to streamline development.Please let me know if any action is needed on my end.Thank you for your help!

I hope you are all doing well. I’m working on integrating ManyChat with our Facebook Lead Ads. Facebook’s lead ads can automatically open Messenger and pass along the form data, and I’d like ManyChat to send an instant reply as soon as Messenger opens.Additionally, we market to English, Spanish, and Portuguese speakers, so I need the bot to detect a user’s language and send the appropriate response in one of those three languages.Could you let me know if this setup is possible, and—if so—what steps we should take to configure it?Thank you for your help!

  Dear ManyChat Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out to kindly request that you enable the option to upload/import JSON flow files for my ManyChat account.

I appreciate your support and look forward to your response. Best regards,Mohammad

Hi Manychat Support Team,I'm experiencing an issue with the broadcast feature. Although I set up the message with an image included, when the broadcast is sent out, the image does not appear. Only the text is delivered to recipients, and the image is completely missing.I've double-checked the setup and even attached a screenshot for reference (see below), but the problem persists.Could you please help me resolve this issue? Thank you in advance! 

Hi All, I’ve created lots of automatons in the past but adding a new one today (Ive created new and copied a previous one, I know it’s probably not the best way but has always worked before) and neither are generating replies in the comments or DM’s. I’ve had a few comments of the key word which aren’t even showing in the many chat data for the automation.  Any ideas?

Hey everyone! I’m trying to set up tailored auto-replies per ad using ManyChat’s Facebook Comments Growth Tool.But when I go to select a “Promoted Post,” it only shows my organic Facebook posts, not the actual ad posts I created in Ads Manager.Even when I try to enter the Ad ID manually, it doesn’t recognize it.My goal is to have different auto-replies for each ad (based on product, price, etc.), but using “All Posts” sends the same message across all ads — which I want to avoid.➡️ Is there any workaround to target specific ad posts from Ads Manager in ManyChat?

Hi, I want to understand if this is possibile.I want to launch a reel from my Meta Business Manager, but i don’t want to post the reel on my instagram feed.

If yes, how can i do it?I want to automate links in DM after someone writes a comment.Thank you so much for the help anyways

 Hi ManyChat Community,I'm facing an issue with Custom Fields in ManyChat. Previously, we had "Custom Fields" where I could set a condition with a Custom Field, an Operation, and a Value (e.g., Custom Field + Operation + Value). Now, it seems to have changed to "User Custom Field" with only Tag and Value options, and I can no longer set specific conditions like before.I need this functionality for a quiz where I calculate scores based on user answers. I want to sum up the responses and store the final score in a Custom Field. Additionally, I collect user data (e.g., name) before the quiz starts, and I need to export the quiz results, including the score, to Google Sheets under the same name as the user who completed the quiz.1. How can I restore or replicate the old Custom Field setup (Custom Field + Operation + Value) to sum quiz answers?2. What's the best way to export the quiz score and user data (e.g., name) to Google Sheets, ensuring the score is linked to the correct user?Any hel

Hello,I want to do an automation based on when a user LIKES a post. Is it possible? Should I use the trigger “User clicks on IG Ad”?Thanks!

I want to access the WhatsApp Business API for the number I connected via Manychat. Can I access the 360dialog or BSP dashboard to generate an API key and configure webhooks?

Hi team! I'm using the AI Step on Instagram Direct with the Manychat AI add-on activated. I’d like to know if there’s a way to add delays between AI-generated responses to make them feel more natural and human — as if the assistant is taking time to type each part.I’m also wondering if it’s possible to enable the “typing…” effect (typing indicator) within the AI Step, or if that only works with regular message blocks.I’ve already tested using a Smart Delay after the AI Step, but that only works between blocks, not within a single AI response that has multiple sentences.So my main question is:Is there any way to insert delays and typing effects between phrases generated by the same AI Step?Thanks so much for the support! ✨
