Help regarding linking telegram groups to a bot please

Hi all I made a bot, so when you press start, it shows you a list of other telegram groups to join. Ive linked the telegram groups via the http link. The issue is when clicking the groups, it seems to go to manychat; it loads up manychat, then it sends you to the telegram group. Why is it not just loading up the telegram group to join?Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Is there an option to include a "call button" for the automated response?

Is there an option for a "call button"? I am wanting to drive leads to a call center. It would be nice if there was a button where they could just click on it and automatically have them call. Or do I just have to put our phone number in the text? I did a quick search on google and couldn’t find any answers to this. I am very new to many chat so I figured I would ask here before I go down the rabbit hole of searching.

ManyChat w Instagram & pricing

Hey Im trying to build a system where one software sends the initial DM, then ManyChat carrie’s out the conversation and books an appt via instagram DMs. I have a few questions surrounding this…Is it possible? For another software to send the initial DM then manychat carrie’s out the conversation to set the appointment?Also, i noticed that the pricing changes by the number of contacts. My question is what is considered a contact? Can manychat have a bunch of conversations and set appointments without them being considered as contacts? And does manychat make you opt in to something to make you into a contact before it can conversate with the person?Curious because if manychat considers each conversation as a contact then the pricing will scale very quickly and may not be a viable option. Appreciate any feedback

Issues with OpenAI assistant and other API questions

I’ve developed an integration to OpenAI using both the Assistant and the completions modes. initially tried assistant mode but it is taking far too long since it needs to first set up new/update assistant if the context has changed , set up a new/check for existing thread, send message and run, then check for response. each of the api calls that require response needed to be put on a timer loop to check for completion. minimum smart delay with manychat is 10 sec which means i’m losing far too much time in all these processes. conclusion: using the assistant mode is resulting in the response taking about 12-13 sec to come through.alternatively, if i use completions, i get a response in about 4 sec but the downside is the entire prompt has to be sent each time which results in high token usage.is there something i’m missing here about how these integrations could work?is there a method to remove or replace certain characters from text fields in manychat? for example if the user or cha

Automation not connecting

Hey guys --- I’ve spent hours trying to figure this out --- researching here and I cant seem to get this automation to work.Desired Automation:I would like our fans to comment “Loko” on our post and receive a DM from the band.DM contains a pre-save link Once clicked - the fan would receive an DM with a photo of the group in the studio -- followed by a Voice note thanking them . Current Outcome:Fan sends comment -- DM is sent to them with the pre-save link.Thats it. Automation stops there.What I gather is they have to send ME a DM reply before they become subscribed as a contact --- and even then I have to manually subscribe them to an automation sequence? I’m pretty good at figuring stuff out -- I tried adding a tag upon clicking the button that triggered a sequence.. nothing.Any help would be great!

How do you confirm the WASA number sold by manychat

Question: We got a phone number for the WASA, as manychats said there was not other option, it is not a real phone, it is a WASA, number is 19383485089. In order to install WASA a code must be sent by SMS (not possible) or by call (not possible either). So How do you do it? I try dialing the number (no response) and sending whatsapp, the meta says its ok (approved). Still there is no way to get in as the activation code can`t be received. Sorry it's not clear that English is not my first language. Thank you so much!!!

How to automate responses to comments in your Instagram feed using a chatbot?

I can't automate replies to comments under posts; it redirects me to DMs, but I don't need that.

Hi, I just successfully created my first comment automation for an Instagram post. Now I want to create another automation with a different trigger that leads to a different page than the first one. I created both from scratch, but I can't connect them with an arrow like in the first template. Do I need the Pro version to create a second automation?
