Manychat Stopped Working

Hi! Manychat has stopped replying to people commenting on my posts with any word (no specific keyword is assigned, I have it set to any word) It no longer replies, or sends the automated DM after. 

  • ❌ “Say Hi to New Followers” automation is not triggering

  • ❌ Instagram Comments automations are not triggering

  • This happens across all relevant flows that were working properly before

Additional details:

  • The Instagram account is connected and shows as connected in ManyChat

  • I have refreshed the permissions

  • No changes were made recently to the flows

  • No errors are shown in the flows themselves

  • The issue started suddenly and affects all Instagram entry points

This is blocking lead collection and client communication, so it’s business-critical.

Could you please check:

  • The Instagram connection status on your side

  • Any recent API / Meta-related issues

  • Whether the account needs reconnection or re-authorization

Happy to provide screenshots, flow names, or reconnect if needed.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey ​@goldenauraphotography try these troubleshooting steps first:

Also, please be aware that there’s a current Meta bug that may be affecting your page. More details here: https://status.manychat.com/

Lastly and if all fails, open a ticket with support so they can take a look at your specific case.

I have the same issue. i can’t make the simplest automation work with Instagram. What’s going on?  Is this backend issues?  If  not I want my money back and refunded as you can’t deliver a service you’ve sold to me.
