Hi Patrick!

I think this is what you are looking for:

1. Create a new automation (or edit an existing one)
2. Set a trigger (Messenger/ User clicks a referral link)
3. You'll get a Ref URL

Hope it helps!
Fabio

Hi Fabio. 

You nailed it.  Thanks!  Any idea when manychat will update the system?  For a noob to manychat like me, this is pretty rough.

In any event thanks for your assistance.

cheers

Patrick

This seems to be the “new standard”.
Every digital tool is evolving extremely fast nowadays. 5 to 6 months (or less) without using some tools and you have to learn a lot again to make the same things.

It makes cases like yours more and more common.

Luckily, we have this community with some good folks to help

Too true Fabio.  I get it.  My timing to start is just a bit off, as while I just started, everything has changed.  I am not deterred just learning Manychat, so the learning curve is slightly sloped to my disadvantage. 

Murphy’s law.

cheers

Patrick.  

Does anyone know why URLs and QR codes as a trigger went away. I can see just 4 months ago you were all able to use them and this app is useless to me as only a social media tool.  I want to be able to get people on my list at networking events and speaking engagements and I don’t want them to find some random post and leave a comment just to do a quiz I spent time creating.  As we can see with TikTok all social media platforms are not promised to us and if one of them goes down our entire funnel can be broken. It feels like because they can collaborated with Meta they have changed the features to force you to only be on social media tool use them. I want the option to do both. I want to be able to text a link, include it in an email, create a QR code. Not everyone is on FG/IG and certainly not the other platforms. I focus on YouTube and putting a link in the description would be helpful since they don’t have DM options.
