Hey everyone, my comment reply automation stopped working around 5-6 days ago. Only 10-20% of commenters are getting replies.  Is anyone else experiencing this? And has anyone found a fix?

Willing to pay for someone who can help me resolve this. Let me know.

Cheers,

Hey, ​@Frank V!

 

Everything seems to be working around here… 
Have you tried to refresh your IG permissions already?

@Fabio Gaulke, I did the above. I have the new Instagram API. Some automations like stories are working and even some comments are getting replies but only a small percentage like 30%

Very odd… 

There's a long-lasting Meta bug that could be the cause of that: https://status.manychat.com/cmh44imm700cmdq2ahtgp7h86

But there's no way to confirm it.

 

You can open a ticket to Manychat's Support Team. They will be able to investigate it further: How to get support from Manychat – Manychat Help

 

At last... do you normally duplicate old automations or do you tend to create some from scratch from time to time?

I'm asking, because I had some strange issues with some clients, and "rebuilding” the automations from scratch did solve the issue… 👀

thanks for your reply ​@Fabio Gaulke , everything was working fine until 6 days ago, all of sudden the comments automation only started firing of around 30% of the time. Prior to this I think it was 95-100% of the time.

I’ve reached out to support but they haven’t been able to help so far, they only reply once a day which is super annoying. 

I’m going to rebuild the automation from scratch right now and see if  that solves the problem. Thank you for the sugggestion.
