Links in Automation Aren't Working

Hi,

I just set up an automation after someone comments a word on any of my posts. However, when I test the link, it says “there was a problem loading this website”. I’ve tried it with a couple of different links and a couple of different triggers.

I noticed that when I’ve commented on other people’s posts and get sent a link, there have been a few with the same error message.

Has anyone figured out how to troubleshoot this?

Thanks.

Hi, ​@theplotgenie!

 

I’ve seen some IG accounts with this kind of issue in the last couple of weeks… even some without any Manychat integration.

It seems to be something more on Meta’s side 🙃 In some cases, it worked if I used some URL Shortener to redirect the link (like Bitly, Switchy, etc). I´d suggest testing it. 😉

 

You could also test disabling Manychat’s URL Shortener (Settings/General). But with that, you lose CTR data for Buttons+links.

 

This is not the first time something like this happens, but 90% of the cases where Meta issues. 

 

Anyway… hope it helps!
