We also tried to solve it with api manychat. With http request node in n8n.
But got this error:
Content can’t be sent to the subscriber without a message tag. Subscriber’s last interaction was over 3668h ago (more than 24 hours ago)
However I just wrote to an instagram, and not even a minute passed before the whole process ended in n8n and gave an error
Hello @Batyr Rejepov ,
The Manychat API has a runtime limit of 10 seconds. Therefore, to create your flow using Supabase, you will need to implement an asynchronous logic:
- Return a 200 OK status immediately to Manychat in the external request, indicating that the processing is in progress.
- Add a smart delay to wait for 10 seconds and then perform a new query. If the process is not ready yet, you will receive a response such as "Pending."
- Include a condition block to always check the response and make sure it is not indicating that the message is still being processed.
It is also important to mention that if you make direct calls to the OpenAI API from Manychat, the runtime can exceed 10 seconds. In this case, one possible solution would be to avoid using intermediaries.
@Gustavo Boregio offers a ready-made flow of this type, which might be useful for you.
Regarding your second question: to send a message to a contact on Instagram, the contact must have sent you a message within the last 24 hours. If they have not interacted with you in that period, you will receive this error.
Hey @Batyr Rejepov I think we talked on WhatsApp earlier today, right? :D
For the 10s delay, it’s as @rogerioaraujo mentions ;)
From your setup, I see that you’re using a straight-up OpenAI assistant, no tool calling or any other complex logic. This can be done 100% in Manychat <> OpenAI without intermediaries like N8N. And yes, I have a template for that! :D
Regarding the error you’re having:
Content can’t be sent to the subscriber without a message tag. Subscriber’s last interaction was over 3668h ago (more than 24 hours ago)
Most likely, you have something wrong in your automation, or you’re using the wrong format. Manychat’s API work and we use it everyday, so it’s probably something wrong in the setup.
Guys thank you very much for help. Gustavo’s consultation helped!
