General Q&A

Hi everyone!  I’m wondering if anyone has successfully connected ManyChat with Meta’s Business Inbox in a way that allows Meta tags (labels)—like the ones you assign in the Meta Inbox —to be automatically created or updated in ManyChat.This would be super useful for aligning sales and marketing workflows, especially when sales teams prefer to work directly in Meta’s Inbox.Has anyone figured out a workaround, or maybe used an integration (like Make, Zapier, or API calls) to achieve this?Thanks in advance! Cata Rendon

My business did a paid partnership with another brand and used the many chats automated comment feature. It worked fine for the post, but now that the brand is boosting the post it no longer works. Anyone know why and if it’s possible to fix it? Thank you!

Hey.Been using manychat for months.i have 2 accounts connected and have many automations. all have been working well until two days ago.Wondering whats is up and what i can do to rectify

My reel on insta got 100k views with 2k comments, Now the link is not working which is inside the flow. what to do and is it safe to message 2k contacts or should i stop the flow ?

Hi everyone,I'm working on a Manychat automation for Instagram and have set up a trigger using the keyword "info" (screenshot of the flow is attached).The logic appears to be connected properly, and the trigger is enabled. However, the automation still shows "0 runs", even after multiple test messages using the word "info" in different ways. I also can't preview it on instagramHere’s what I’ve already tested: Sent messages directly via Instagram DM Tried different variations like "info" and "can I get some info?" Verified that the flow is published and live Made sure the keyword trigger is turned on There is some conditional logic in the flow that might be affecting how it runs, but I’m not sure if that’s the cause.I’d appreciate any insight or a second pair of eyes on this, thanks in advance. 

Facebook Ads not appearing in Automation settings even after reconnecting Facebook with full permissions. what to do?

Hello Manychat Community,I have attempted to set up a rather basic automation of Auto-DM links from comments. The Automation works, but not how I thoguht it would, in other words, I set it up to send a DM on specific words “Discipline” for example. But I want to set it up so that it would send it ONLY if somebody comments SOLELY the word discipline and nothing else.In the way that it is now, is that if that word is used in a sentencer, it will still send a DM. For example:“I love the way that I have been building my discipline.” → Send a DM but I DON’T want it to.“Discipline” → Sends a DM, and I would like to automate that it sends ONLY in this case, with just the word “Discipline” written in the comments. I have looked around the platform but couldn’t find anything to configurate it.I would be very grateful if someone could assist me with that, thank you! JC

I’m brand new to this so sorry if a silly question. I’m just starting a new instagram page and I want to send an automated thankyou to anyone who follows my page. Is there a way of doing that automatically? 

Hello Community,I’m Prakash Hinduja from Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss) want to create my very first bot but not sure where to begin — it feels a bit overwhelming with all the features and options.  For those who’ve already built a bot, do you have any tips, best practices, or beginner-friendly steps you’d recommend? Maybe a template or tutorial that really helped you when you were just starting out?Would love to hear how you approached your first bot — appreciate any suggestions or advice!Thanks in advanceRegardsPrakash Hinduja Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss) 

I use many chat to send people to sign up for a free video. Most people access it fine but I get a steady stream of people who have problems. Including “I don’t want to open it in threads”. I don’t send them to threads. Is this IG sending them there instead of my site? Anything I can do about it? Or do I just need to accept that a percentage get glitches??

I'm trying to understand how ManyChat handles overlapping Instagram triggers. Here's the situation: I have one trigger set to fire on all Instagram post comments. I have another trigger set to fire on a specific Instagram post. Both triggers use the same keyword. A user comments with that keyword on the specific post. In this case, what happens? Does ManyChat run both flows? Or does it only trigger one, and if so, which one takes priority?

Hello, How can I send a dm to all my followers? Or to all the people I've interacted with via manychat automations?

Hi everyone,I hope you're all doing well. I need a quick help.I’ve set up an AI Agent using ManyChat's native AI.The conversation was already open and a real person was chatting with the user, but the AI Agent jumped in just because it recognized a word, not based on user intent.Can anyone tell me how I can prevent the AI Agent from interfering in situations like this?Thank you,Samar Abbas  

Hello,I send DM to people who comment on my instagram post and ask for GSM number. Than my flow jumps to another flow to send a WhatsApp message. But it's not working. Is it possible to do such thing? Regards

We’re experiencing an issue where Custom Fields are not being detected correctly in our flows. Please investigate this as it’s affecting functionality on our end.

Hello everyone,We are in the process of setting up automated reminders for our leads using our custom API. While doing this, we’ve encountered an issue: when we trigger our API call within a flow, the message is sent twice to the same lead, even though it should only be sent once.Our ManyChat setup consists of a single main account that contains multiple sub-accounts. Each sub-account uses a different WhatsApp number and has its own flow. However, we’ve noticed something strange: even though these flows are in separate sub-accounts, they all seem to have the same Content ID number. This might be linked to the duplicate message issue, but we’re not sure.We’re trying to understand two main things:Why are duplicate messages being sent when we call our API inside the flow?Why do different flows in different sub-accounts appear to share the same Content ID?If anyone has experienced a similar problem or knows how to resolve this, your guidance would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advanc

Hi everyone, this question is killing me, I hope someone can help me.How can I export the contact´s ID to a csv file? I have tried selecting all contacts and then Bulk action and export, but I cant.I have also tried by doing an automation to export to a Google Sheets but I couldnt either.Thank you

Hello everyone, I have the following challenge: we have a reel that was posted organically on Instagram. Here the customer can secure a freebie with a keyword. We have now recycled this reel as an ad. In order not to lose the trust, we have not changed the reel. Now the people who become aware of the reel via the ad also have the chance to secure the freebie with the keyword. How can I use Manychat to give organic customers the UTM parameter with source=organic and the customer who became aware of me via the ad the UTM parameter source=paid? 

HolaSé que cambiaron recientemente algunas políticas de uso de la mensajería en masa.Quería saber, para una misma lista de leads de la empresa, hasta cuántos mensajes de marketing se pueden enviar en el plazo de 24 horas.O no hay limitación?Gracias.

Sending isn't available until contact resumes them.→ user even after clicking “get updates” is not able to resubscribe.When we deleted the contact from Manychat to refresh it in Manychat database, there is still no reaction after clicking “get updates”. User tried all setting in messanger, also was clicking on our ref link to the subscription list to get back on the list, but nothing is working. Still Manychat does not see subscription

Hi! I’m running a luggage storage business, and I want customers to transact via the chatbot for the entirety. However the buy button seems to be designed for retail kind of transaction. Is there a way to make it for a service type? Like if a customer wants to store a luggaged sized A by x quantity in y days?

Hi, ManyChat has changed so much since I last used it, but I want to know if I need my own OpenAI API key if I use the ManyChat AI upgrade, and if not, what are the limitations if any?
