Adding/Updating Subscriber Via API - Duplicate email

I am helping a client pass data into ManyChat via their API integration. All API Calls were integrated using the documentation at this linkThis it the current flow we have set up: Creating a Contact with their platform's built-in fields (createSubscriber API call) Adding a "Tag" to that contact using the Contact ID generated in Step 1 (addTagByName API call) Updating custom fields using the Contact ID generated in Step 1 (setCustomFieldByName API Call) The above process works as anticipated with new email records. But where we run into a bit of an issue is with duplicate emails that already exist in the ManyChat account. In Step 1, if we try to create a contact using an email that is already in the account, it spits back an HTTP 400 error saying that the Email Already Exists. This prevents us from being able run steps 2 and 3 on that email record.  If we were either able to get an API response in step 1 for duplicate emails that indicates the Contact ID for that pre-existing email

URGENT - Problem with Instagram channel connection

Hello. I am encountering a strange bug with instagram. I have been running an IG account for almost a month and have over 9000 contacts, where manychat has worked perfectly for.The other day I changed one setting on the linked facebook account, changing the Instagram receiver from the default (nothing selected) → manychat. Since then, nothing is working. When people type a keyword, they do not get the connected automation. Conversations arent masked as open. All the functionality of manychat has stopped. My instagram has 0 issues, and i can still message people fine on there, they do not show up on manychat. People messaging my profile do not show-up as a new contact on manychat. I have colleuges that run instagram pages, where the IG-manychat connection is still working fine. And even if i try a new account it works fine, there is just something broken here. Has anyone else encountered this before? or know of a fix? I need help ASAP

What Happens When I Delete Manychat Account

I have 3 different Manychat profiles with each profile connected to separate Facebook Profiles. Let’s call them  Manychat Profile A, B and C. Profile A and Profile B are pro profiles. Profile C is a trial profile. Let me explain the Manychat profiles - Profile A opened using a Facebook Profile for someone whom I’ll “Ola”. Profile A is a Pro Manychat profile.Profile B opened using my own Facebook Profile - YGF. Profile B is a Pro Manychat profile.Profile C opened using my second Facebook Profile (which silly-nilly me named “YGF”). Profile C is a trial profile.I have full admin rights on all Facebook profiles. The issue I have is this -In Profile B, I have two accounts. One for YGF and the second one is Profile A for Ola!

Automated Instagram Message with Website Add Conversion, not Messaging

Hi people! I recently clicked  on an Instagram ad with the call to action ORDER NOW, this link redirected me to their website, I didn’t purchase anything and came back yo my feed with a message notification. I went to my inbox and there it was, an automated message coming  from this same company asking me a question and with a small light grey text of Instagram app saying “This welcome message was automatically delivered when you tapped on an ad, they won’t see this chat until you’ve sent a message”What is this wizard magic and how can I achieve it? So far I can only set up this here when using the Meta Conversion as MESSAGING APP. But I dont want that, I want people to go to my website after clikcinc the add.Any ideass?? Thank you people!

Affiliate Commission Eligibility When Purchasing ManyChat Accounts for Clients?

Hi everyone,I run an agency, and i want to purchase ManyChat accounts for my clients under my business, but I’m wondering if I would still be eligible for affiliate commissions for these accounts. Since I would be the one making the purchases by adding accounts to my profile. would I still qualify for the affiliate program, or do commissions only apply when clients purchase each with a different email and profile through my affiliate link?Has anyone else had experience with this, or is there a clear guideline from ManyChat on how this works? I’d appreciate any insights or advice. Thanks!

Need Help with Profile Message and Welcome Message Automation on WhatsApp

Hello ManyChat Support Community,I've created an automation flow and need to make two final adjustments. The first one is to change that default profile message, "Hello, I'm using WhatsApp," but I can't find where to edit it. I've already found where to edit the profile picture, WhatsApp Business message, email, and other profile settings, but this particular message is elusive.Another thing is, I'd like to see if there's a way to set up an automatic welcome message if a user just opens the chat on WhatsApp without doing anything. As soon as they open the chat, I'd like to send a welcome message without a link or keyword trigger.Thank you for your help!

comment post - how to get the comment as a data value

I've noticed that in the Live Chat area, there's information about the post response when someone comments on a post, but there's no way to receive this information within ManyChat as a data field.It seems that ManyChat can capture this field, but there's no way to use this information.So, is there a way to use this?If not, why isn't this option being made available to everyone?It's a shame since the information already exists.Also, this feature is already available in other chatbot systems so why not in manychat too?

Please tell me, I set up a reply to a comment under the publication, but the bot sends the link only once to the account, if a person comments on the same post a second time, the bot no longer sends it.How to make the bot always send a reply to a comment?___ how to set up manychat (for insta) so that it sends a message to a user every time instead of just once? (For example, if the user wrote the required code 2 times under the post, then the bot will send the necessary message 2 times)and so the bot works only 1 time for a new user, the second time it does not respond to the request.

IG summit x Manychat Recordings

Hey queens @Marina @Raquel C I don’t know who else to turn to, but I just logged into my IG Summit space (I bought the ticket and all), and under replays, I have exactly two recordings and nothing else. The recordings I have are the ones I was able to watch a week ago. The site says the replays should be available for 6 months (except for a few exceptions), but I can literally only see two. Also, I can’t even access the second day’s material at all. There are no filters applied in this view. Is this a bug, or am I really unable to watch all the videos? By the way, I can’t even re-watch the two videos that are on that list below. It just says "session ended." Also, I didn’t have this issue last week.

Typing Delay not Working Correctly

n my flow I have Waiting Delays followed by Typing Delays. When I test the flow from my iPhone, I do not see the typing dots. The dots showing typing are not there. In regular conversations on Messenger they are there. When I use my iMac the typing dots are there. Basically Amy typing delays are showing as a waiting delays.

Improve Keyword Trigger Accuracy

If I give the word “ME” as a trigger in a CTA, and somebody wants to comment not as a CTA but just as a reply on my post to comment and uses the word “me” in the sentence then this persons will also be put in the automation. But that should not happen because it was not meant as a trigger word. Can something be done about that? So that the automation only starts if only the word “ME” is replied and not when used in a sentence?
