Button text defaults to "Get Updates" on desktop

When I create automations that use buttons I noticed that I would sometimes get messages that said “Get Updates”. It turns out the button text defaults to "Get Updates" on desktop. It seems to work fine on mobile for now so I’ll direct customers there. Is there another way to fix this? Thank you!

Need Assistance: Retrieving Chat Manager Information via ManyChat API

I use the ManyChat API to receive information about my subscribers, chats, and tag updates. While I can obtain relevant information about the subscriber, I do not receive any information about who is responsible for the chat on the ManyChat side. For example, if I want to create a deal in CRM based on conditions in ManyChat, I need to assign the same manager responsible for the chat in ManyChat to the deal in CRM. How can I resolve this? I have checked the API documentation, but there is no information related to this crucial detail. I need help!

Is there a way see CTR statistics based on which keyword people entered a flow?Basically I want to try different type of ads in instagram, and I would use different keyword in “DM me” appeal in these ads to see which ad performs better and leads to sales. Or is there a better way to track end-to-end traffic overall (from insta ad through manychat flow to stripe checkout)?

Notifying Models of New Jobs via Messenger

Hello everyone!After thoroughly reading through all the topics on the forum, I haven't come across a similar issue to the one I'm about to present to you.I own a modeling agency, and I'd like to utilize your services, but I've encountered a significant obstacle. My idea is to create an email list of my models who have joined our Facebook group (where job postings are shared) and reach out to them via email and Messenger messages regarding the jobs. I aim to potentially reach new individuals who might have missed the Facebook group notifications and thus missed out on job opportunities, causing financial loss for both us and the models who overlooked these notifications.My question is how can I set up an automated system using your ManyChat service to create an email list in Google Sheets (which I know is easily achievable) and send a Messenger message on behalf of the Facebook Page to every individual who has subscribed to this chatbot service whenever a new job is posted?

How to get Twilio to accept my toll free enrollment?

I’m trying to get SMS up and running so I can finish the campaign I’m working on and start testing it live, but I can’t get Twilio to approve my toll free verification application. Keep getting declined because apparently I’m not doing the right thing for the opt-in workflow.I include verbiage in the Messenger opt-in step to tell them we’d send them promotional texts like I see all over the place. Apparently that’s not enough, and I need something more thorough to do it right? What exactly do I need to include/do to make it right?Thanks!

Email conversations in Live Chat

Hi all. I can’t seem to find a way to communicate with contacts via email within the Live Chat panel. I have set up email accounts within the system, and can see how to use emails as part of an Automation, but not how to make this part of the chat. Is this possible?

Instagram automation. Strange behaviour of a webhook.

Basicailly I am building a flow where after receiving instagram message from the DM, manychat should send a request to a webhook with user data and the text itself. When I am trying to send multiline message in instagram(shift+enter) oc PC or new line button on mobile phones manychat webhook is not triggering, . With inline or single line messages which does not include new line works pretty fine and I believe that’s a bug.

Localization with many languages?

Hi, is there an easy way to support flow in multiple languages without flow duplication?The proposed solutions with setting language tag and duplicating flows are nightmare once you start doing adjustments in your flow, cause then you need to repeat the change you want to make in every individual flow for every language.
