Messenger : Buttons randomly not working (~20% of users) – looking for a real workaround

Hi everyone,

I’ve used ManyChat successfully for over a year, but for the past few weeks buttons in the first Facebook Messenger messages randomly don’t work for some users. I’d estimate ~20% of the time — which is huge at scale and causes real brand damage.

Sample flow in screenshot.

Issue: users click buttons and nothing happens.

I’ve done everything Support / AI Bot suggested (permissions refresh, reconnect, automations off/on, Advanced Messaging checks). Still happening.

Anyone else seeing this lately?
Any working workaround that still allows email capture?
