conversation is closed

Hey, I'm trying to trigger an action when a conversation is closed, but I'm not succeeding. Do you have any idea how this can be done? The trigger should activate when the conversation is closed.

How are contacts added?

If I create 2 automations: An automation that responds to comments on posts. One that sends direct messages to those who perform an action. Will both automations save user contacts, or will contacts only be added for those who interact via DM? Wich automations do no add contacts on my platform?

Running two automations for one IG post

Hi! This morning, I ran two automations on one IG post for people to 1) pre-order my book (by commenting keyword “book25”) and 2) buy tickets to my book tour (by commenting keyword “tour25”). I created these as two separate automations in the ManyChat interface. Unfortunately I encountered an error… When someone commented “book25” they received the correct message, and when someone commented “tour25” they received the correct message. HOWEVER, if someone commented “book25 AND tour25,” they only received the corresponding message for ONE of the keywords (usually the first one in the sequence). Why was this the case? Is it possible to run two automations on one post, so that people can receive BOTH responses? I am hoping to run more automations this week and don’t want to run into the same issue! Thank you!

Some messages not sending

Hi all, I hope you're good. Just seem to be having a bit of trouble with my automation today. I have it set up so that when someone replies to my reel with the required emoji, in this case a thumbs up, then they get sent a message with a free download. I have refreshed permissions, but for some reason, not everybody that replies is getting the auto reply. Just wondered if anyone might be able to suggest some other things I could try? I duplicated a previous automation which worked perfectly and just adjusted the text and the post the automation was attached to so I hoped it would work fine. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks! Sho

Pause ManyChat Subscription

Hi everyone We have been using ManyChat successfully to drive WhatsApp broadcast messages during launch campaigns. However at the moment we are not running any launches so there is no need to keep the ManyChat account alive, until next time when we need it again. Is there a way to pause our subscription for the moment until we need it again? If and when we resume, will everything be back to normal? What happens to the WhatsApp number that is connected to the ManyChat account? Thanks.

Can team members initiate instagram DMs through Many Chat?

Our company is trying to merge all the Instagram accounts we have from different locations to have one central account. The location owners said they still want to be able to initiate DMs. Is there a way for a team member to initiate a new DM to an account that may or may not be a follower?

Manychat is connecting to a different Instagram and it will not allow me to connect the correct one

When I try to connect my Instagram, it is connecting to a different Instagram and I removed that Instagram and it will not allow me to connect the correct one. I even created a new Facebook and it still will not connect the correct one.

My ManyChat Flow Keeps Looping – Need Help!

Hey everyone, I have a ManyChat flow that keeps repeating instead of moving forward. After a user starts the flow, it gets stuck in a loop and goes back to a previous step. Not sure what’s causing this—has anyone faced this issue before? Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🙏 Thanks in advance!

Subject: Urgent: Unable to Set Up Any Automation

Hi [Support Team], I'm unable to set up any automation. Whether it's sending an automated message to comments on a specific post or reel, or automating a response to a specific story, it just keeps showing an error saying, "There's no connection, please try again." I've tried multiple times—logging in and out, checking my settings, and troubleshooting in every way possible, but nothing is working. Please look into this and fix it as soon as possible. I’d really appreciate your help.

Is it possible use opt-in for WhatsApp for the same number on Facebook and Instagram?

Hi! We’re trying to keep as many doors open as possible for leads to sign up to our event and then receive a message on WhatsApp. But what I’ve noticed is that if you sign up on one platform and then on another, your account will only have opted-in for WhatsApp on the first platform. Usually, I wouldn’t mind this, but our audience is older and would sign up twice on different social media platforms. Is there a way to perhaps fix this issue?

Help needed: Not receiving messages from our customers...

Hello ManyChat Community! We've been facing several issues with ManyChat recently, particularly not receiving messages from customers. Has anyone else experienced this problem and identified any potential causes? The ManyChat team has been investigating for several days now, but they have yet to find a solution—which is becoming quite concerning.

Do I need to pay for a separate ManyChat subscription and a separate AI automation service subscription for each client?

Hello, I hope someone can help me with my question. I have multiple clients, all of whom are managed under a single business portfolio. My goal is to automate the chat functionality on their Facebook and Instagram pages using AI. I am currently in the process of adding their accounts. My question is: Do I need to pay for a separate ManyChat subscription and a separate AI automation service subscription for each client? Or is it possible to automate multiple clients' accounts with a single ManyChat subscription and a single AI automation service subscription? ​​​​​​​If the latter is possible, what is the limit on the number of clients or accounts I can automate under a single subscription? Thank you for your assistance

block

Hello! We’ve received 3 days block for dm from the Instagram because of broadcasting. If your service is approved by Meta, why did it happen? If it’s because of the new rules of Meta, may be there’s a list of recommendation from you which we’ve missed and which will help us not to get blocked?

Help! Automation stops after trigger

I recently hit a glitch in the system. My automations were running just fine and one day my account disconnected. I reconnected the account, however this is happening. My key word automations will start, but then after the lead clicks on the button, the second message (for all automations) will NOT send. Has this happened to anyone, and if it has, what have you done to resolve this issue? Thanks, Cavan

User Replies Not Saving in Custom Field

I am building an AI agent for upselling. In the AI step, I am saving user replies in a custom field, as shown in the screenshot. However, I am facing an issue—user replies are not being saved in the custom field, but AI responses are. How can I fix this and ensure user replies are saved instead of AI response ?

Instagram Comment to DM Automation not working for most accounts

Update: I am currently in touch with ManyChat’s helpdesk to see if they could fix this issue. Currently they are trying to gather more information and example to investigate. Will keep this post updated time-to-time for everyone’s benefit! :) --- Hi everyone! I’ve been trying out ManyChat for a few days now and am currently on my 2-weeks trial of the Pro version. I’m using it primarily to automate Instagram DMs and it’s feature with Instagram as a form of Data Collection (To collect basic info for sign-ups). Primarily I’m focusing on triggering account DMs when they comment to my post / reel as well as replies to my IG Stories. I’ve created my automation flow for an upcoming post and story, linking it to my brand account. I did a test on one of my current post using my personal and back-up accounts and it seemed that they are working just fine as intended. So I thought its ready to go Live for my new IG Post and Story - like hooray isn’t it? But guess what - as soon as I posted and tri
