General Q&A

I have a problem. I deleted ManyChat to access the beta version for sending automatic DMs, however now I have the automations set to Live but none of them are triggering. I NEED HELP :(  

I’ve created simple sequence Follow First created from template. It worked for first 4 comments, then stopped.Commenters are added as ‘Unknown Contact’.I’ve tried duplicating the automation, turning it off and on, refreshing permissions couple of time - to no avail.Last month similar known issue is resolved, that’s why I create this post. There’s ‘Automations Webhooks Missing Issue’ on https://status.manychat.com/ - what’s the expected resolution here? I struggle with the issue for last 4 days or so All the best

Hello, I logged into a new Instagram account but I can't open the MiniChat account linked to this account. Is there anyone who can help me? 

Hi, I want to send a welcome video when someone new follows me. I used to do this manually writing a message and sending the video file directly into their inbox. It would be great to have this automated! But, the setup only seems to allow for sending the link to the video which then opens up in their browser or dropbox. Is there a way to send the video direct into their inbox like when I do it manually?Thank you

 Instagram DM automation unstable after 2–3 messages (ManyChat + Make webhook) – synchronous issue?Hello,I’m currently building an Instagram DM AI agent using ManyChat connected to Make (webhook + OpenAI), and I’m facing a persistent issue on multi-message conversations.🔧 SetupTrigger: User sends a Direct Message (Default Reply – set to “every time”) Flow: External Request → Make webhook Make processes message (OpenAI + routing) Make returns JSON:{"reply":"<text>"} Response mapping: $.reply → custom field (make_reply) Instagram Send Message → {{make_reply}} ❗ ProblemFirst message → works perfectly Second message → usually works Third message → becomes unstable: Sometimes the webhook is not triggered Sometimes Make does not receive the me

Hi! I subscribed to Manychat from 2 accounts, however later  I was charged (although the program for Ukrainians was prolonged till the end of 2026). It is some kind of mistake?

Hi there,  Wondering if anyone can help. I set up an automation after the post had already gone up and users had started commenting the trigger word. There are at least 16 iterations of the users commenting before I set up the automation that do not appear to have triggered the flow to send them a dm. There are 3 iterations where users commented after the automation was active and that has run.  Any ideas why those previous comments did not receive the dm? My understanding is that Manychat should work even if the automation is setup after the user comments? Am I wrong?  Thanks,C  

Hi team, I’m following up on ticket #469114 regarding an agency commissions issue, as I haven’t received a response yet.Is there a dedicated support email or contact for agency partner-related inquiries?

Hey everyone!I’m struggling to set up an auto-reply to comments via DM. I’ve tried a couple of times and asked different friends to test it, but it’s not triggering the flow I created.Has anyone run into this before or know what I might be missing?

Minha Automação DIGA OI aos novos seguidores parou do nada…. tinha um fluxo no diga oi aos novos seguidores porem do nada parou…. o manychat pedi algumas atualizações eu faço as atualizações porem a automação não aparece mais no manychat….

I have been attempting for so many hours (with help from the AI feature and little to no help from the “human” the AI sends my way) to turn on the facebook comment to messenger.The tutorial clearly shows that I need to set the first as a comment reply.I can not get that option no matter what I do.I have started over, I have not clicked any other links or added buttons.The top of my message node only has the 24 - private options.Please help.

Hey! I would like a DM automation where a person comments, I send them their freebie and ALSO send them an audio message, not just one or the other. A person sent this to me the other day and I saw that they were able to do both. Would appreciate any help!

Say Hi to new followers feature:I updated permissions as asked by manychat, follow the prompts , log into my insta, the receive then popup- invalid request : invalid redirect URI-- How can I fix this? 

I have it set it up to say hi, send a message, then send a free resource. It says Live and has been live for 3 days. Since sending I have recieved 25 new followers but no messages have been sent. I checked by following myself from a different account and I can confirm i didn’t receive the flow. Any Ideas?

Hello!I had a automation with new followers and it worked perfectly fine until two weeks ago.I tried to update the automation and connecting again with my Instagram account but it didn't work.I don't know what's the problem or how can I solve this...

I paid for the pro plan but it seems the manychat bot or whatever that is didn't recognize it so it stopped my automation completely. When I login I get the free account pop up but when check my profile it's showing a pro sign.I received the invoice meaning the payment went through. I'm so frustrated it affected my business,I tried to get support and all I get are bots no human and the bot said the issue needs a human.what should I do? This is bad why does Manychat say contact support when there's literally no human support?

I just went live with this new feature, and I feel something isn’t right.  As you can see, there are 376 executions but only 20 sends.   Can someone explain this to me?

How do I set up a comment automation so that users only receive an automated message once, rather than every time they comment on a video?Ideally, I want to capture new followers or non-followers who comment and haven’t heard from us before.Right now, sending a DM every time someone comments starts to feel spammy — so looking for a smarter way to handle this.

Hi! I’m struggling with the best way to automate tag changes.  here is my tag structure:Service A UnqualifiedService A QualifiedService A Qualified PlusService A BookedService A ConvertedService B UnqualifiedService B QualifiedService B Qualified PlusService B BookedService B ConvertedService C UnqualifiedService C QualifiedService C Qualified PlusService C BookedService C Converted all new contacts are tagged with Service A Unqualified, Service B Unqualified and Service C Unqualified. I’m doing it this way bc my main entry point is send to DM from a meta ad and it has to start with a message with buttons/conversation starter and no next stepI have some auto tagging for stage changes in place, and I will manually assign tags as well. someone may go from Service A Qualified to Service A Qualified Plusthey may go from Service A
